I am looking for a wax giving a high gloss finish on a Seat Leon FR Mystery blue metallic.
I have prepped the paint ,clay M&K Pure, Seal just need a wax. My budget won't allow any more cash at the moment. Must be easy to use.
I personally think Farecla G3 Super Gloss Paste Wax is hard to beat for its ease of use and finish. It is extremely easy to use and it doesn't stain trim unlike a lot of sealants. One can purchase it on ebay for roughly 20 pounds. I think Halfords are selling it for £27.
You can actually get quite a few very good waxes for up to £35 so I wouldn't worry about your budget in that sense, it's perfectly healthy for a wax.
Like others, I'd offer up Bilt Hamber Double Speed Wax. It's got great durability, is easy enough to apply (cool panel, out of direct sun) and the tin also lasts forever so it's economical.
Probably the only tip I would give is that when they say 'wait till it dries to a haze then buff off', you want to be buffing it off the moment you see it starting to haze. If you wait till the whole panel is completely hazed over you will find yourself fighting it's natural durability to buff it off.
Very sound advice to be fair, usually the marketing is the only difference. It's all in the prep before the wax application so do your prep well and just close your eyes and pick a wax as it won't make huge differences.
I don't believe that using a 35 quid wax offers that much difference to using one of the so called boutique waxes as a significantly higher price. Maybe some are a touch easier to apply but that is it imo
Just to throw something new to the mix: Griots Best of Show Paste Wax.
I find really impressive and pretty much unknown in the UK/EU. Combines a nice wet (oily) look with good durability and impressive beading.
Waxplanet are doing Obsidian 2017 Waxstock edition for £30. Obsidian is wonderfully glossy and so easy to use - not the most durable but great water beading ability.
Just to throw a spanner in the works
Adams H20 guard and gloss,
not a wax I'll give you that but leaves a super glossy slippery finish and a doodle to use approx £17 from Prestige car care a supporter on here :wave:
Gonna throw HB sauce custom wax creations into the mix you could get 2 fudge pots of different types of wax within your budget
