Lightbulb What wax do you use

What car wax do you use on your car?

Ive heard some say that the carbanara or whatever waxes build up into a sticky layer that attracts dirt.

How do those wax bars work? Has anybody on here tried using one?

I have had great sucess with Meguiars Tech wax which is a synthetic wax. The shine lasts for ages and it is really easy to apply. It also gives a deeper colour to the paint which looks nice.

Do you mean clay bars? Not seen a wax bar.

i use turtle wax extreme
it has something called nano technoligy in it (whatever that is)
its in a iluminous green bottle

i find it very easy to use, and it actually removes tar build up when you rub it off
theres also a good shine that lasts long

i find it the best on the market, but in saying that ive never used maguires
that company are supposed to be untouchable when it comes to car care

Autoglym for me. Gives a nice deep shine and brings up old paint nicely if you use the Super resin Polish.

I use Autoglym high definition wax. It's quality stuff, the rain just falls off. The last time I used it was early October...and it's still shining!
