Car Wax

[Hereinthailand]

Im looking for an online source or store to buy a good quality wax for my car. Nothing expensive just good quality (yeah I know nothing good is cheap) but its an older car with a good finish still on it and I dont mind redoing every so often to keep it clean.

Tesco has a range, but avoid silicone based stuff....

[Anythingleft?]

Try Lazada I thought I saw that they had Autoglym on there, fantastic range of products and not out of this world expensive

What brand is good at Tesco ? Silicone not good why ? I will look at Lazada as I buy lots of stuff from there, thanks

[Hereinthailand]

ummm I looked at lazada  autoglym 4-5000 Baht for some wax in a bottle is not my cup of tea, thanks anyway, maybe if I had a Lambo of porsche but then I would pay to have it done lol.

No idea of their range .Just seen it, I get my MER wax from the UK....

 

Silicone is a repair guys worst nightmare when painting....

[Hereinthailand]

Yeah I only used meguiar's back home and lazada has decent prices on it, so might try some tesco first, I just want to keep it clean and easy to wash.

If they aint using any silicon removers before painting I'd take my car elsewhere but back on topic I buy Turtle wax from Hardware House, its 550b a tub.

Just get the guys at the car wash place to do it, so cheap and relaxing to have someone else do it.

For sure but it should be avoided as it is a cheap way of providing a shine...Just stick to regular formulas that are not that much more expensive....

I buy colour wax polish off Ebay uk and get pals to bring it over for me

I have seen their FB but have yet to buy anything from them. Let me know if you do.

Is Turtle Wax not a regular formula? Probably the best selling wax in the US for 50 years.

[Hereinthailand]

Turtle wax is another one I used alot before I will have to see if we have hardware house around here. Sorry but I dont have anything done here by locals, house repairs, car repairs - whatever had too many <deleted> mes after paying for botched work, luckily Im still able to do my own work and i know its done right and the way I want it the first time.

Yes it is a regular wax, l used it 50 years back too, but if they have added silicone in resent years then l would avoid it...

[JAS21]

www.thaiwashercarclub.com is where many get their detailing stuff from.

 

As an alternative get someone to bring you Autoglym HD Wax from the UK ...somewhat cheaper there ...

 

[Hereinthailand]

Interesting I found pure carnuba wax on aliexpress, I wonder if a person could find a good formula to make his own wax ?

Sorry about that never realised it was priced that high.... could be why I never ordered any before [emoji52]

I like 3M car products. Good quality and price. I buy it from 3M's own shop on Lazada.

Lazada gives you the best choice. Nu finish will last six months just don't get it on the plastic trim. Our big c sells it for 800baht a bottle. Otherwise megiures ultimate spray or paste is a good choice.

Meguiars seems not bad yes, anybody else can confirm ?

 

Are Chemical guys products better ?

Meguiars is okay, I like Mothers

[Hereinthailand]

Meguiars is hard to beat and has a large range of products but mothers seems to be top choice among show car owners and high end waxes.

[Hereinthailand]

Okay I went with the 3M marine grade car wax on lazada. Lazada gets more interesting as I use it pertaining to the amount of products they have.

[mogandave]

Isn't marine grade for gel-coat?

Can use it on paint, probably better than car wax..

[mogandave]

I don't doubt you can use it on any number of things...

If I just wanted an inexpensive wax that was pretty good, I would just go Lotus and look for something with a name I recognized.

Hey, let's turn this into another tire pressure thread...

Great idea.....

I'm using 3M PERFECT-IT Show car Paste wax. 1250Baht at Lazada. Get very good reviews on Autogeek.net. 

Have a fantastic wet look after waxing.
