Where do you guys get your cars waxed if you do not do it yourself?

i wax my car @ my buddy's house if not @home..because i would personally never give someone
else the satisfaction of waxing her..once you do it once, its difficult to NOT wax her yourself..its a pride
thing knowing that you spent those 3-5 hours on sunday detailing her to the fullest...good luck!

I use Zymol. I used it on my Porsche and loved the results. Easy to apply and buff. I also use my hand to apply instead of any kind of cloth/sponge. Nothing beats the hand for ability to feel any debris that miay have gotten onto the surface. It also seems to me it's easier to determine when the wax has been adequately worked.

My $0.02.

Beauty Shine Pink Carnuba for black paint is my choice. It's REAL wax.

All paint must be cleaned and polished prior to waxing if you want high end results. IMHO
