| Autoglym or Meguiars
Hey,
In terms of long lasting, durability and water beading.
I have the Autoglym Extra Gloss Protection, Autoglym Super Resin Polish, or Meguiars Ultimate Paste Wax or even the NuFinish Paste Wax.
Which one would be the best in this case?
Thanks
Jerry

None of the above.
I've used Autoglym HD, smells great and looks pretty rich but not worth the money. Most off the shelf waxes aren't really good value for the money - you can do much better ordering online.
Try either Collinite 845 or Blackfire Wet Diamond - both will last 6 months easy and 845 only runs $15 a bottle.

Blackfire Wet diamond gets a thumbs up from me, pretty much the definition of easy on easy off.  | |

As stated, the Autoglym HD Wax has the longest durability of the two brands you mentioned. We have a few here on sale for 25% off so they would be around $38 plus HST. Collinite 845 is dead easy to use, will last as long as AGHi Def and is around $17. Backfire is super easy to apply and remove, but won't last as long as the other two.

Where can I get some of these products? Ebay? Or even locally? I like waxing my car, just not every week thats why I want to get as much research.

I carry a bunch of products locally. Click the link in my signature. If you come by to pick up, everything is at least 10% off.

Meguiars is now part of 3M.. but 3M's distribution doesn't seem to be very strong.
Unless you have been living underneath a rock.. Autoglym is available at any Canadian Tire now.. and is often on sale. Quote:
