Anyone know where you can pick up some better quality waxes/paint sealant/etc locally? Something that’s not Meguiars or Mothers from PepBoys? I’d like to try some different stuff.

I have ordered from [autogeek.net](http://autogeek.net) but I don’t feel like waiting.

I might check out Autobody of Albany/Schenectady when I’m down that way Monday.

Autogeek has a nice selection of waxes and sealants, I’m just looking for some different stuff that’s better quality plus I need a new clay bar.

I keep forgetting to go to Albany Autobody. I bought some Surf City wax and spray detailer, I like how it works, seems like a good wax so far.

lately i’ve been getting away from carnuba waxes as they attract dust and cause water to bead not sheet, sealants tend to repel dust and sheet water (beads=water spots) i’ve used a few of the scg products and they are good, just overpriced. i like their hot rod spray detailer (pink with uv protection) i also have the barrier reef spray wax which is real nice for a quick coat of wax.

What sealer do you use? I’d like to seal my Accord before winter as I’ve heard it lasts long. Maybe top it with a wax.

Another product line I’m looking into is Ammo. That guy has done some SERIOUS R&D and from everything I have seen his products are awesome.

If it’s for a daily use Griots sealer w/ step 3 polish. Easy on, easy off and it looks good for months.

I use klasse sealant glaze, I have enough for 10 lifetimes I can give you some if you want to try it, im not a huve fan of griots but I have been looking into ammo and apparently the hydrate is the tits for a drying aid also if youre looking for a new claybar get the nanoskin autoscrub wash mitt (the blue one is fine grade stick with that)
