Re: Best Camaro car wax

I use the 3 step process: 1 - cleaner 2 - sealer & 3 wax (use 100% carnuba wax for best protection). Any top brand will do like Mother's or Mequires. This job will last you a long time, around a year if done right.
Looks like your camaro was taken care of - GOOD LUCK WITH HER!!

Re: Best Camaro car wax

For me I claybar, polish, then seal. I been experimenting with clay baring brands but meguires seems to work alright. Then I polish with meguires no. 7 show car glaze. After that it is the P21S Carmauba Wax. It is sort of expensive but the results are awesome. Though if you really want to get the scratches to disappear you need to get a buffer. Then you can get some kind of machine polish to take care of that. An example is meguires no. 3 machine polish. Don't go this direction without some basic know how on doing this. If not careful you can burn the paint. Course if you want to keep it simple and cheap I used the meguires gold a long time ago and the results where good.

A porter cable and a decent swirl remover such as Optimum Polish.
