forget abt turtle wax product.. if u can spend more a bit, i suggest u to get Meguiar's #16... is more lasting than most OTC wax... however, their NXT2.0 has rather short durability.

most probably ur car is already out of factory more than 90days.. unless it is really less than 90days, then is not recommended to wax as the paint needs time to cure in..

and remember, surface preparation is the ultimate-must-remember-and-do-well step before u start waxing a car.

and, ur washing technique too..

enjoy car life! biggrin.gif

lol..turtle wax not good? it appears that they have good reviews on the net. plus they are not entirely cheap either. haha...
eh, car already out of factory more than 90 days? then why the hell i don't get my car now. grr..

depends on how u see... if u search around detailers' community, u dun see 'turtlewax' pops up in the discussion.. try google for collinite, finish kare, menzerma, wolfgang, poorboys, mothers, duragloss, DP, 3M or maybe pinnacle.. then u will know turtlewax is cheap in terms of pricing..

if u wan to be safer side, just wait another 90days...

remember, washing technique is important to ensure there's no scratches and swirls.
