    Anyone recommend a good Wax

    Nanolex Hybrid wax, so far for me is by far the best wax for both Durability and Gloss levels. It outshines and lasts longer than the so called "ceramic waxs" on the market.

    Audi paint v Bird poo

    This is the joys of Gtechniq :p, it will only last their times stated as long as you stick by their Terms to make it last which are outrageous terms to be keeping up with. I would say you need to get a better Ceramic like Nanolex Si3d / HD and then put a hard wax on top as a barrier layer to...

    Do You Really Need To Wax A Brand New Car?

    I'd say yes you do, any protections better than none. Once a month with a good quality hard wax after a decent clean will keep your car in top condition. Claying is a very good way of contamination removal as are many other ways. But things like fall out are the things you need to protect...
