[QUOTE="maxxsp, post: 290595, member: 4808"] paul_tan, the waxes you have listed are in fact low end waxes in my opinion. there are more high end and expensive products that arent stocked at the car care aisle in your local shopping centre. your post confuses me as polishes and waxes are 2 different things. im posting this reply so others wont be misinformed. waxes are protectants and do not thin a vehicles clearcoat and will not cause any damage at all to the paint. they simply add a thin layer ontop of the paint to protect it from contaminants. turtle wax ice liquid polish is actually a wax inspite of its name. Zaino also refer to some of the sealants (waxes) in their range as polishes. if the wax is applied and removed correctly, the paint should not remain oily to touch Polishing (usually by machine) removes swirl marks and light scratches and does thin the clearcoat but it would take many many time of repeat polishing before it can cause damage (unless you take it to a detailer who doesnt know what they are doing) quick detailers often offer little to no protection and should not be used in place of a good wax.
