anybody else here likes Smartwax?
I use that on all the cars, plus Smartleather for the seats
For protection between waxes, I've been using Eagle One nano-spray wax....very easy to use and offers a brilliant shine. I started using the Eagle One A-Z wheel and tyre cleaner as well....no acids so safe on chrome too....super easy to use and gets rid of most heavy brake dust

I think a tuner has one wrt griots. And there is car plus in south. Quite a few of their items (megs and surf city) are priced reasonable considering if you're going to ship it in yourself.

Can anybody help me. Looking for a good place to get my car buff looking to sell it dogs jump on it and it has some light scratches. Any good places in central also the price and number if possible. If they do engine cleaning as well I just want it to shine a littlest well.

x3 works well!

Guys, need a good wax that would last. It's for a dark coloured vehicle,but would need to work on light as well. I used the megs black wax on a black vehicle and it worked well, but it only lasted about 2.5 months and I was washing properly with megs car wash. Preferably something easy to apply.
