coilinite no.845 i love it, its VERY durable and will last a long time. i use it on every vehicle i detail. leaves a very deep shine, real easy to work with as well. u can get it at advanced auto IIRC for around 12 bucks or so, a little goes a long way with this stuff ![http://i35.photobucket.com/albums/d173/SeriousPerformance/Wax/3.jpg](http://i35.photobucket.com/albums/d173/SeriousPerformance/Wax/3.jpg) ---

> [@llink78](#): > > thats ok man. i wanna do it myself, i just didnt know where to get a good wax. best bet… clay bar… i know its been said 1000 times on here… but for a white car, that is key cause you can get all the small specs of road grime, tar and fall out contaminates… after you clay it really good… the best wax is to go with a paste carnuba wax, i suggest meguiars cause its the closest thing to professional grade that we used in the detail shop if you get the meguiars gold class carnuba paste wax, its easy on, and EASY off, no residue, and no hard wiping to remove. ---

> [@psphinx81](#): > I LOVE this stuff as well:) Been using it for 10+years now. Harbor Freight carries it to my suprise… I’ve found that having a damp applicator pad helps in appying the wax. Also, do your best to get the wax on the whole surface of the pad for a more even application onto the paint. If you can, remove with an orbital buffer…otherwise hand will do, it’s just not as fast. ---
