Mothers Brazilian Caranuba Gold Wax
I decided to wax my car with a cheap $14 bottle of Mothers 05750 California Gold Pure Brazilian Carnauba Wax Liquid from amazon.com
The wax is very easy to get on and off. It will probably rain tomorrow so i will get to see how well it beads water. It looks really nice from my perspective. Here are the results:

I've used crazy expensive wax, and cheaper wax like Mothers....I cannot tell the difference. I always use Mothers Cleaner wax, good stuff!

I don't think anything will beat 845...I haven't had it personally but there are plenty of reviews to prove it. That's not to say I wouldn't try more expensive waxes

I prefer P21S Concurs..easy to apply, easy to remove and nice gloss that last a decent amount of time
I like Mothers wax/cleaner for quick touch ups |

I apologize but I'm going to have to disagree with everyone here. Mother's Wax on a $70k car? That's ridiculous. You should be applying something like Swissvax or Supernatural.
Read up on the contents of Mother's Waxes compared to the expensive stuff. There's a reason why it's cheap and found at Wal-Mart. |

Right... because there's such a big difference in cheaper waxes and expensive waxes.... The most important thing is to find something you like, and use it often. Cheaper wax used every month or two>expensive wax used every 3 months. I think I'd know OP: Kudos for taking good care of your baby and keep it up so she continues to look like-new. |

There's a big difference between most off the shelf waxes which are "cleaner waxes" and pure waxes. Cleaner waxes have some polish in it and are designed as a "one step" product. It's not designed for frequent use. Pure waxes have no cleaning properties and you can layer it to add protection and depth.

Any liquid wax (like Mothers) is not going to last or shine as well as a paste type pure wax.
As others said nothing wrong with using Mothers..imo its a wasted effort... when there are so many other better products out there |

Professional/enthusiast grade waxes generally do not contain such things, as they're made to only protect and add gloss (these are made for the >1% of car owners). If you're the type of person that clays and carefully washes your car (and potentially polishes your paint), you can benefit from these higher grade products as they'll typically last longer. In the end, you're always better off using products in a way that you apply an additional layer of protection prior to the last layer wearing off. In this way, using Mother's Gold 'nuba wax every month is better than using any professional grade wax every three months. While over the counter waxes don't tend to layer as well (slight abrasives can remove previous layers during application), pro-grade waxes don't truly layer either (the fresh application of solvents can weaken the wax underneath). Layering wax is about having uniform protection, not more protection. |
