Guys i wanted to give my 320 a good wax buffing before winter. What would you recommend for a good lasting wax.

I use Collinite 476- probably one of the best long lasting, and durable wax I know. I have a had jar for almost 4 years and I think I have only burned through half of it.

When it comes to waxes there are a million choices. What's your budget?

I've tried so many I can't count (including Butterwax and Collinite)! I keep returning to Zaino (www.zainostore.com) as it lasts and lasts. As long as the instructions are followed, easy on easy off. I also got addicted to using it as the more coats you add the deeper the shine looks!

Make sure you heat it up to a liquid. It should be pretty watery to work.

there's so many waxes out there it's crazy. for me I use Chemical Guy's with great results. but the best thing that's going to work well this winter for me is letting her hibernate in the garage until the snows gone

Dude, your car is sick. I am not a huge fan of Chemical Guys but i have a few CG stuff myself, but their waxes are not that great. I use CG Slate for washing as it removes waxes, and sealants but other than that I stick with Detailer Domain, and Autogeek for my detailing supplies.

I've had great results with CG during my paint corrections with awesome results!

I wasn't too impressed with CG Butterwax... went on well and the shine was not bad but I swear it barely made it through a single rain storm. My cheapo NXT Gen TECH wax produced beautiful beads after tonight's rain. I can't wait to try the Pinnacle I just received through Autogeek, love shopping there.

I tried to link my pics but for some reason they are either too big, or something else is going on.
