Holy Crap!! Du Pont came out with a new Teflon wax that is unreal. I bought it at advance auto parts for like $10.99, and it is the best wax I think I have ever used. You cant let it sit long though, or its hard to take off. I put 2 coats of this on my FD, and my car lookes wet, and it puts like a glove of protection on the paint. I am a chronic car wax buyer, and this stuff is sweet. Its called Du Pont Teflon car wax I think. Do your car a favor, and grab some.

 

Thanks for the suggestion! Is it easy to use and how long did it take you?

 

It is very easy to use. just use a slightly damp wax pad to apply, and a clean microfiber towel to remove. I did two coats in about 2 hrs, but I was taken my good old time. No need to rush my quality time. I really recommend this stuff for any car.. It is seriously Money!!

 

Thanks! I think I'll go buy some when I have the chance.

 

pics needed!

 

Ill take some pics whenever it stops raining here in Steeler country.

 

I saw the commercial for that and was interested in it. How do you think those other teflon products work? the soap, the tire shine stuff? Might go out and pick up a kit or something if it's really that good.

 

its mad by du pont, and they make the best paint in the world.. I trust all the stuff they make to work. that wax is sick though

 

anyone else try this yet?

 

try liquid glass, same effect. I use it

 

i got some dupont wax today. it looks good but, damn it was hard to get off. I got it all off and it was greasy or something so i had to go over it with some detailing spray and now its fine.

 

It is a wax that you want to do a panel at a time, and don't let it sit to long. It does leave it a bit greasy, but if you just take your time with a microfiber it looks sick.

 

haha yea i figured that out the hard way. my friend did his one panel at a time and had no problems.

 

ive always loved my meguiars nxt liquid wax
nothing has topped that yet
but i saw the du pont wax at a local walmart and it looks pretty good
i might just give it a shot after i run out of wax
and i wax my car almost every other week, hopefully this stuff will be better and cheaper also

 

I have used the meguiars nxt before. I works well too, but the dupont is better in my opinion.

 

yeah im a big wax guy

i tried everything from meguiars, turtle wax, normal wax, mothers and i want the car to shine for days..not just the same day i put it on..

i will try this du pont..i saw the commercial, it was pretty funny..

stick with the zaino's wax, the very best out there!

 

If you want something that will last for a while, use Meguiars "Deep Crystal", not the NXT stuff. The NXT stuff is good for the "once a month" type waxing. The Deep Crystal is good for the "Once/Twice a year" waxing.

It also all depends on how much you drive as well. IMO, you should claybar the car before waxing it. It makes the wax stay much longer. Using Deep Crystal on my wife's Audi (which is daily driven) after claybar, it typically last for about 7-8 months.

 

BTW, a few pics using the NXT stuff:

yeah i heard about the claybar..well truth is that im trying to get rid of the swirls off my car..im looking for the best cleaner wax? or something thats like a cleaner wax, then the swirl remover, then the final wax..

with all these different types and brands, its hard to do what first and how often and which one..

lately i just been washing my car, then using mothers..then another day ill wash the car and use a different wax like meguiars just to compare..and although mothers shines more, it doesnt help eliminate swirls marks like my meguiars been doing..

i have soo many waxes and they just dont work the way i want it to work..and i dont want to throw them away so ill just use them til it runs out..idk

 

Are you using the Deep Crystal from Meguiars?

I've always had good results with Meguiars on red cars. The dark cars seem to like Zaino better.

 

S100 motorcycle wax. Makes me visibly aroused.

 

no, im using something called scatch X or something from meg. i bought this cause i wanted something to eliminate/prevent swirls which this has helped me but very little..i tried looking it up on their site and its not even there.

but i did see the deep crystal you are talking about, that just looks like something for the finishing touch. you would have to use alternate waxes prior to this one to get the best out of your paint..

 

Nope, no need. It's part of their 3-Step Kits (wash, claybar, wax=Deep Crystal).
