Re: best wax for around 20 bucks?

I only use Meguire's products (Swirl X, car wash, Tech 2.0, interior wipes, etc.) on my cars and what you're using is perfect for the $. Unless you feel like forking out around $100-150 for TurboWax, you're already using the best products out there.

BTW, I only use TurboWax after a full buffing/clear coat restoring detail.

No means at all to insult you in any way, but you just turned 13. You said your mom is giving you the Camaro, but how do you also have a Durango?

With no driver's license, or even a permit yet..

i take care of the thing LOTS. its worth LOTS LOTS more then if i let her use it like a off road suv. i make her park in the back of a parkin lot so no cars/ppl go near my baby. thats why im gonna buy a 80's bronco with 44 swampers, huge lift, and bunch of other off road accesories.

I guess so.

My Camaro was paid for the day I brought it home, but I still don't consider it mine. It won't truly be mine until it's built the way I want it to be. EFI, a T-56, possibly lower rear gears, and a paint job.

I like that saying "Not bought, built."
