Turtle Wax Ice liquid. Disappointing compared to NXTv2.

Lets do a little math taking the most expensive lifetime supply wax to Meguiars line up:

$45,000 / $12.50 = 3600 bottles of M26 Hi Tech Yellow @ $12.50 ea.
$45,000 / $19.58 = Aprox. 2298 bottles of M21 Synthetic Sealant @ $19.58 ea.
$45,000 / $12.99 = Aprox. 3464 bottles of Gold Class Wax @ $12.99 ea.
$45,000 / $17.99 = Aprox. 2501 bottles of NXT Tech Wax 2.0 @ $17.99 ea.
$45,000 / $7.18 = Aprox. 6267 bottles of Deep Crystal Carnauba Wax @ $7.18 ea.

Now based on these scientific calculations that have been prepared and certified by... huh , me I guess, I have come to the conclusion that spending $45,000 on any one of Meguiars waxes or any combination of Meguiars waxes totaling $45,000 is enough wax for a lifetime supply for a small city!

I guess all you have to do is decide whats best for you!

I really like the gloss and durability. Plus, one tin goes a long way.

Don't forget the can looks cool too...

Paid $27 for #26. Since it's so expensive here, I'm saving it for special detailing occasions only

How good is #19?
Cool tin!
Can you still get it anywhere???

Re: What's the most expensive wax you've used?

18 dollars for my tin of Collinite 476s doublewax. Works great for the harsh new england winters.

Re: What's the most expensive wax you've used?

Most expensive wax Ive used would have to be #16.. Paid $30 shipped to my door and I didnt even wax my whole Jeep, just wanted to try it out on my hood. Dont want to use it all up since its hard to find(and $$), even if it would take me years to use it all!

Paid about the same. The stuff is fantastic and this can will last a long, long, time.

It's all in the prep.

You can put the best wax on this: and it won't look good.



Or you can prep it and make it the best it can be and look more like this:

I paid $27.95 a can for M16 and upped my arsenal to 6 cans, great stuff and lasts a long time. I have a whole new outlook on paste waxes.

Re: What's the most expensive wax you've used?

NXT is the most expensive wax I've used so far ($16.00?). M16 is the most expensive wax I have purchased (approx $30 including shipping). I have also purchased a tin of Harly Wax (approx $29 including shipping). I have yet to use either the M16 or the Harly Wax. I'm not sure why I bought them. Just wanted to try out a couple of old-fashioned paste waxes, I guess. I will no doubt open them up and try them sometime next summer. --Al

I have used the zymol products all the time. Yeah, those probably are Jay Leno's products.

Re: What's the most expensive wax you've used?

Now I'm tempted to get some Swissvax stuff.

Re: What's the most expensive wax you've used?

I have always stuck to Meguiars wax. All those other expensive are no better than anything Meguairs makes. Its all in the marketing.

Re: What's the most expensive wax you've used?

I've played around with a fair amount of waxes, but in the end, honestly, wax is only a small part of what makes a car look great and stay protected. I used to search and search for the newest and most unique wax (Let's face it, we ALL love to research fun new detailing products and try new things), but after trying a few pricey waxes I realized it honestly makes such a small (to no) difference that it wasn't worth it to spend my money on exotic waxes. I put my money in my detailing equipment and my PREP products. (Can you say M105? lol)

People say it a lot, but honestly, it's 90% in the prep work. A properly cleaned, polished, and clayed surface will make just about any wax look good and last a fair amount of time. Obviously, there will be variation in terms of longevity and beading properties, but for the most part I find it virtually impossible to ever *see* a difference in wax brands.

For me, Meguiar's wax is the choice that makes the most sense because it is so economical (I buy M21 2.0 in bulk), looks fantastic, adds noticeable slickness many others do not (clients always touch the cars; M21 puts a smile on their face and a tip in my pocket), and it is incredibly easy to apply and remove (HUGE plus to me, as I am usually exhausted by the time I reach the wax step).

I have I believe 8 different waxes, many MUCH more expensive than M21 2.0 (ie NXT 2.0), but I still reach for M21 9 out of 10 times I detail a car.

Don't forget the can looks cool too...

Are the M26 and M19 tins still for sale? If so, where can you pick those up? I'm sure the contents are very good, but those tins are just so cool looking. I have 3 tins of M16 on the way, very excited to try it out.

Most expensive wax for me is some of the green Zymol wax from Target (around $20 I think). It worked well, but somehow always sits on the shelf. I may break it out for my Volvo that is needing some wax for winter.

+1 - Most expensive wax I ever used was Swissvax Crystal Rock and that was even only a sampler pot and it was freeeee (pls dont ask me how i got it free). I still am in love for more #26s
