I recently bought gold class the other day and its pretty good stuff. it came with an applicator for like 12 bucks which isn't bad at all and the shine is great. My fav wax to date is still formula 113, that stuf fis amazing adn if i were you i'd order one of those free samples all yo uwould have to do is pay for the shipping

oh yea one more thing, search for "gold class" a bunch of people have taken pics of their cars after applyin gold class wax

The Gold Class is my favorite wax. I like it even better than the 113.

i did the meguiars 1 2 3 on my car and damm it looks good, outside of the scratchs and stuff from far away the car looks like it came off the showroom.
i might try "gold" next because 1 2 3 took so long to put on.

Gold class is good stuff, it's what I use... but do yourself a favor, don't apply it to really worn finishes, and if there is any doubt about the condition of the surface of you vehicle, wash and clay bar the whole damn thing first...

If you're paint sucks, this wax will not come off. Don't believe me? C'mon over and try waxing my car... It'll go on, and it'll start to come off, but will have little "pits" of wax that just stay there... and then the surface starts to come out uneven... some parts will look deep and waxed, others the oxidization will show... when you're done (if you can get those "pits" of wax off) you'll see some spots where the wax didn't cover and make th deep finish look... if you try to reapply, same thing, different spots won't be covered... again, I'll demonstrate for you if you like.

19WS6,

If you are doing your first wax since being painted I would suggest the Meguir's Medallion. Pretty good stuff. It is my favorite but is a bit pricey. About $20 a bottle. I would also suggest some Meguir's Show Car Glaze before you wax.

But either way, the other Meguirs products you have will make it look great too.

Bill

Forgot to mention, if you have a dark paint job then definitely try the Show Car Glaze.
