Looking for the best wax option - 2007 Phantom Blue Hatch

[sc10e]

Hello,

I was trying to get other Mazda owners' opinions on the best synthetic wax I can get for my phantom blue hatchback at a reasonable price. I have seen a lot of people recommending Zaino around the web, but I am not interested in spending that much on detailing product(s).

Going by amazon reviews and other forums, it seems like my best options currently are

- Mothers Reflections or Mothers FX SynWax
- Mequiars NXT Tech Wax 2.0
- Turtle Wax Ice Spray Wax

Also I've seen people have good results with Liquid Glass - although it seems to be an older, lesser known product and I am not sure as to whether it is designed to be more of a polish that is waxed over or a standalone wax.

Lastly, the car has never been clayed, something I also may look into. There seems to be the option of claying regularly, or using a paint cleaner like Mequiars Ultimate Compound or Turtle Wax Ice Liquid Clay bar, or both; are the liquids good alternatives to clay itself or should I use both?

Thanks in advance for any help.

I personally use Mequiars NXT Tech Wax 2.0 on all my cars. good stuff IMHO.

I use mothers. I got a clay bar too.

I personally use Mequiars NXT Tech Wax 2.0

Same here, but I sometimes will use Meguiar's Show Car Glaze before waxing with the NXT

I use Griot's Garage Best in Show wax: http://www.griotsgarage.com/product/best+of+show+wax.do?sortby=ourPicks

I used all kinds of stuff before going to the Griot's stuff and would never go back to anything else.
