Best Car Wax In Thailand

[junkofdavid2]

1) Firstly, do you wax your own car?

2) Which brand and product-type do you prefer? (Turtle Wax Carnauba, Black Magic Liquid Wax, Meguiars Sealant #, etc.)?

3) How much does it cost?

4) Where to buy it?

I use meguairs tech wax. Pretty good stuff. Comes as a cream in a bottle and also as a spray on. Best to work it in with a buffer if you have one. The paint looks like glass, even on my 5 y.o paint job.

1) Yes, I wash and wax my own car, although I have paid for it to waxed, and once, cleaned with a high-speed buffer to remove tree sap.

2) My favourite is Turtle Wax (liquid in bottles) although I have used a whole range and think Johnsons Kit Car wax is quite good for easy-of-application vs life-span, as all car waxes, even the best one, require regular and frequent application.

3,4) Upwards of 500baht for a regular bottle, although bargains can be found, particularly often in Tesco.

I'm wary of the fact that Carnauba is found in the best waxes, but I also considered:

1) how hard some waxes are to apply,

2) some waxes melt in the heat, become sticky and actually trap dirt

3) on balance, I'd prefer to wash and wax my car cheaply and often, than pay top dollar for some 'miracle' product which claims to last for a year.

For experience, NEVER buy one of those rotating buffers you see, like Black and Decker - they are a complete waste of time and money. Your best friend when waxing is a simple high-quality circular sponge.

Eagle One Wet, Wax and polish. Buffing machines are fine and save you time, but it have to be a professional one (arround 6'000 Baht. They are heavy iron and strong. I'm agree the black and decker "made in china" sh...is all useless! Waste of money, it's correct

Auto glym have the absolutely best car waxes and leather care.

Unfortunately they are rather expensive and hard to find in LOS (BKK motorshow), and I have become rather lazy at age.

Now its all done by Meguair detailing center at very reasonable price 4 times a year.
