Give their NXT a shot. It lasts longer, and gives a nicer look, in my opinion.

A good carnuba wax is good to have.
I was always happy with the look of Meg's Gold Class, but the longevity just kills me. I've gotten good longevity out of NXT, but having to fight with the oils left on the car just turns me off. ....I still like my Optimum for the ease of use. ![]() dave.

we use alot of ONR, wax wise there is some SERIOUS stuff out there.
Fusion is some awesome stuff. Expensive sort of, but easy on easy off. As is Wet Diamond. Very easy on off. Good longevity and feels amazing. Only thing with the Wet Diamond is the paint needs to be damn smooth to feel right. So a if you keep the car clayed and what not, your gravy. If not, a clay would be needed. I just love the wet diamond. It feels like a layer of oil on the car, but obviously, there is none. |

Just wondering if you guys have used Klasse. It is a clear acrylic. While my days of washing and waxing regularly have been over for a while now, I have used Klasse a few times and like many of you and the stuff you use, I swear by it.
I've spent years going through "steps" programs utilizing waxes, but the wax always seemed to go away and the polish underneath didn't hold up that well once the wax was gone. I can for sure say I am not up on the newest options on the market, as I was so satisfied with Klasse, I stopped looking around. However I am open to suggestions for a once a year full detail "routine".

"Polish" shouldn't wear away because actual polish is used to cut the clear to remove minor imperfections.
"Step systems" like that are gimmicks to get you to buy their line of product usually. ....or at least in my opinion. dave.
