I don't know if this was covered before, but what is the consensus of the best wax for a Honda? I have a new Element EXP in Nighthawk black. Anyone try that IceWax by Turtle? Thanks, Chas

Any wax that keeps the water and salt off of the metal and paint is fine.
I am skeptical of IceWax because it is so thin. I am not convinced it will work well without very regular application. BUT, my father-in-law uses it on his Jeep and loves it... It is certainly less work than a conventional wax...
I have been using MacGuires, but most of the pastes are pretty much the same.
If you want the BEST, highest GLOSS, get Zaino Bros. But it's expensive and a multi-step process, but the results are incredible.
I only used this on a BLACK car because it was such a bitch to wax. For my lighter color cars, I just use Meguiars Gold Class liquid or paste.

Goole Zanio the best!

Thanks guys, but I already like and use Zaino, just wanted something easier! I guess you get what your elbow pays for... Chas
I have been using MALM'S wax for about 15 years. Pure carnuaba. Easy on/off liquid. Works great. My 4 year old Explorer (garage kept, I admit) looks like it did on the showroom.
I have no connection to Malm's other than being a satisfied customer.
Just tried the ICEWAX, and it did a heck of a job in about 45 minutes. (I have a sore right shoulder, so WAX ON is a bit slow) Chas
The Zaino system is a waste of money, in my opinion. There are products that work better, yes, better for much less money. The multi-component system gives the illusory of "the best" wax system, because Sal's marketing techniques are flawless. The truth is, the detailing industry turns a nose up at Zaino; it's simply too much money for a decent product.
If money ain't no thang, as the young kids say, go for Pinnacle Souveran Paste Wax. It's a genuine concours wax, and at $80 a jar, it shows. Don't know much about the TurtleWax Ice system... but anything that calls itself "Liquid Polish" should be used in moderation.
Yikes. I feel like an auto-detailing propaganda Nazi. Only I tell the truth.
