I go “old school” Turtle Wax, carnuba. Wax on, wax off style. One panel at a time.

Personally a fan of the JaxWax brand. I use their Liquid Carnabula wax a good bit. If I don’t have time to do an actual wax their Hawaiian Shine spray wax is also solid

I see you’re a man of class also. 4D OBX Sasquatch is the way!

I’m old school I like a good carnuba wax….not a lot of panels to do on this guy with the mic too and Sasquatch fenders. I find it relaxing to do a good wax by hand twice a year.

you will likely get 50 different answers on “the best wax”

I’d go check out some of the car detailing forums and see what’s recommended.

Me personally for a white car I like dodojuice shinecraft for a carnuba wax.

I haven't waxed any vehicles since I had my 2013 Gotta Have it Green Mustang, and I used Zaino. That was so long ago, there are a million new/better options now, especially

Nice! I’ve toying with doing one for Avalon/Stone Harbor.

For longevity - Collinite 845
For gloss/pop - DodoJuice Supernatural or Dodo Purple Haze ; Pinnacle Souveran is great for wet look and gloss, but not very durable and generally gone in about a week of daily driving.

Many enthusiasts will suggest spray synthetic waxes. The technology has come a long way and they give great performance without all the elbow grease you need from a classic wax. I actually enjoy making circles all over my Bronco with wax, but there really are some great spray waxes out there if you need a quick solution. Griots 3-1 ceramic would be a great option for this.

If you want to go down a rabbit hole, check out Autogeek.net.

Here you go. Wash it with a very good soap. I suggest Griot’s Garage.
Get their ceramic speed shine and synthetic clay bar. Use the speed shine as the lube. Then use the Griots ceramic 3in1 ceramic spray wax. You can use it every inch of the exterior. All materials. Don't apply in the hot sun.

As mentioned the Griots ceramic 3 in 1 wax spray is pretty simple to use and will last up to a year. For a paste, the Turtle Wax Ceramic +Graphene is an excellent option. After washing use something like Adams CS3 or the aforementioned speed shine as a drying aid or as a topper to give you another layer and longer duration. Always use microfiber for washing, drying, and wax wipe off. Finally, use a ph neutral car was soap, never dawn or anything from the house. Stick with the name brands (TW, Adams, Mequires, Chem guys, griots, etc.) High ph soap will strip off the protection pretty quick. All of the above are on amazon.

I used to be all about carnuba paste, but Griot’s spray wax with microfiber towels has been the way for the last several years.

I use Lemon Pledge. Works great. Only downside is it attracts wasps, but I can drive faster than they can fly.
