So whats the best polish and wax??

Bonus points if easy to find/order in Canada....

Chemical Guys is easy to find, but they have so many damn products I have no idea what to use. I currently have their butter wax, and one of the mcguire polishes...

Thx!

I lean towards either Collinite Insulator 845 wax, Adams Butter Wax, Meguiars Mirror Glaze 26 wax, Sonax Perfect Finish Polish. If you gravitate towards paint sealants, try Jescar Power Lock Plus and/or Dallas Paint Correction TR8-insane gloss!

It all comes down to preference in terms of overall shine and l protection, ease of use, durability, etc. what is your main presence and objective?

Overall shine is priority! I don't mind if I have to apply it more often.

In my findings over the years nothing beats a carnauba wax for shine.

Collimate gives a deep shine, but it’s more difficult to wipe off. Fortunately it lasts a lot longer than other waxes. Chemical guys Jet Seal probably gives the best shine for the least effort, but I recommend applying the first layer and then applying a second layer that I allow to cure overnight. Recently used Mcghees ceramic and I am really impressed by the shine.

I'm gonna sidestep the religious debate regarding wax vs. ceramic vs. whatever ...

... but I'll collect the bonus points by giving you a link to a great place in Canada to buy lots of cleaning, maintenance, etc. products;

CARZILLA CANADA

They carry or can source a huge selection of brands, including brands recommended on this forum, like Colourlock, McKee's, Meguiar's, Adams, Sonax, P&S Double Black, 303 Products, GYEON, GTechniq ...etc... you get the point.

fwiw, I love the POPO detail microfiber clothes they sell, double sided + edgeless, feel great coming out of the laundry & do a fantastic job
