Recommend me a Beauty Wax, $50 range

I think you should seek a wax from over the pond! - Something different to what you already have. The next gen SIo2 wax`s. Sure it blows your budget.. but I don`t think you`ll find happiness seeking another natural based wax.

AngelWax - Enigma
Fireball - Fusion
PowerMaxed - Tsunami

Intresting waxes! I wonder how they compare to Synergy?

Agreed. It is very bright, but not wax bright.

Thanks for the comments about P21S Ron and Accumulator. I`m all about the depth/jetting so it`s good I didn`t pull the trigger on it.

...Now for the pressing million dollar question I and surely other Autopians are wondering: Of the the waxes that you DO currently have, what is your favorite (or favorites) and why??
Click to expand...
I could go on for days, but I won`t. ^_^ In no particular order, I love the following:
Blue Velvet Pro (looks and good longevity)
915 (looks on certain colors and longevity++)
Bouncer`s Vanilla Ice (great beauty wax for 2 months)
Natty`s Blue Liquid (huge impact and longevity in a liquid)

Almost ALL the other waxes I like very much, even ones that aren`t highly touted here, such as Adams Buttery, which pops like nobody`s business and fills nicely, for "both days it lasts" to borrow Ron`s saying about S100.


Anybody used those "Soft99" waxes from Japan?
 
Took a photo of my P21S to show how the inner and outer tubs separated:

See how the 100% P21S jar looks in comparison?!?

That would help!

I currently have (whether "beauty wax" or not) Lusso Oro, DoDo Blue Velvet/Purple Haze/Rainforest Rub (and many sundry panel pots), Victoria Concours, Bouncer`s Vanilla Ice, 915, 845, Pete`s 53, Natty`s Blue paste & liquid, Adam`s and CG Butter waxes, Griot`s BoS, Sonax Carnauba Care, most of the Megs waxes except 16, Mothers Carnauba, Zymol Carbon (but not used yet), and I also have sealants by CG, Poorboy`s, Sonus, Finish Kare, Klasse, CarPro, and Wolfgang.

I have tons of spray waxes and QD`s, so not looking for sprays at this time.


Anybody still a fan of P21S?

Use the Zymol Carbon. One of my favorites for ten years now.

I also use Creame.
 
To answer the Soft99 Fusso question above, I`ve been experimenting with it of late. Similar to FK1000p but more tight beading. What I like most about it is how slick it is. Better than FK in that category. If it lasts half as long as claimed, it might dethrone FK for me, which nothing else has yet. It`s a glossy look on white paint, which is the only color car I have, so can`t comment on any other colors. Forensic detailing channel on YouTube has an in depth review.

I did a swipe of the Carbon on my motorcycle, which is a deep maroon with tons of flake, and it seemed to mute the flake, which I`m fine with on the bike, and will be completing the bike with Carbon, but I was skeptical how it might look on my black metal flake car, whereby, if the flake is accentuated, actually starts to look like a dark charcoal color, which is nice, as is the proper use of commas, which, as you can tell, this sentence does not demonstrate, per se.

Well then, wow, THAT sounds tempting. But FK is "sealanty" looking isn`t it? Is the Soft99 a "Shine & Bling" wax and opposed to "Depth and Glow"? (maybe hard for you to tell on a white car).
 
RMD- Thanks for that post about the Soft99 Fusso. If it *does* last longer than FK1000P (I`m assuming it equals/exceeds the FK with regard to dirt-shedding since it`s slicker and also equals its antiu-etching protection, right?) I`ll be the first to see if it`ll be my new fave. FWIW, I`m getting well over a year out of the FK, and that`s on year-round daily drivers that see Ohio winters, and I`ve even tried leaving bird bombs/bugs on the paint for *months* and had no etching/LSP compromise in those spots. IF something else can beat that I`d love to know about it :D
 
Another vote for Souveran. It`s the one I always go back to when I want the best. I bought an extra when it was on sale a year ago even though I doubt I will ever finish the original jar. If I could only have one wax it would be it.

Its definitely a hard candy shine as opposed to a glow on white.

Accumulator- you have to give it a shot. You are the reason I first tried FK, and have been a devotee ever since. There is no such thing as excessive proselytizing about FK, it`s that good. But the water behavior of Fusso is crazy, definitely on par if not better than PNS, but way easier to use. The only knock of Fusso that I have heard is that you can`t let it sit too long or it`s hard to remove, but I haven`t deliberately let it sit to test this out. I let it sit for about 5 minutes, and instructions call for a bit more in winter, but the definition of winter certainly depends on location. Environmental conditions may be more of an issue when weather returns to hot and dry here in SoCal, but so far no issues. I still have the passenger doors to do, so I`m going to give it about 15 minutes this time.

I bought it from eBay, which came from overseas I believe, but after I got it I found out there is a US distributor who happens to be 10 miles from my house, and is selling it for $20. PM if you want the link. At that price why not pick up a tin? I haven`t yet seen how it deals with bird bombs, that is another great benefit of FK. On YouTube there`s a good video comparison with FK by Wax mode, who might be a member on the PBMG forums, not sure, but his reviews are great. He shows the sheeting of Fusso really well.
Fusso comes in light and dark, but per reviews I read out there in cyberspace the only difference is that dark has a little tint in it. Even if I had a dark car, I would prefer a clear LSP.
 
RMD- Thanks for the offer regarding the US distributor, I`ll keep that in mind. Heh heh, won`t be trying it at present though, I`m not gonna buy any potential FK1000P replacements until I`m nearly out of it...I have way too many, uhm...accumulated...LSPs around here as it is and, other than its look on the `93 Audi, I`m simply 100% satisfied with the FK.

And part of that satisfaction is the way it`s Accumulator-proof as long as I don`t try to speed up the layering too much. (Just FWIW, I always let my LSPs set up unless doing exterior trim, so being able to do it that way is a significant personal preference for me.)

I *will* be interested to hear how your ongoing experience with the Fusso works out, and if you ever let it set up for a few hours before buffing it off I`d like to hear how that works out. I suspect it`d go fine as long as the application is nice and thin but that`s just a guess.
 
I haven`t used quite as many waxes as you have, but a nice one I didn`t see on your list is BLACKFIRE Midnight Sun Carnauba Paste Wax.

Also love the Pete`s 53 that you already have...

I don`t know why Blackfire doesn`t ring my bell. Maybe it should. It just seems a bit expensive for what you get.

Yeah, CG hasn`t been getting a lot of love on the forum (for a few good reasons) but Pete`s 53 is really good, as is 50/50, which I had but traded a few years ago. Blacklight is also very good, for what it is, which is a glaze with a bit of acrylic sealant, or as some detailers use it - a mild AIO.
 
RMD- Heh heh, a day later...You *have* piqued my interest with the Fusso, but [darn] it I`m gonna keep resisting until I at *least* think I only have a couple years worth of the FK left ;)
 
Waxaddict do you have anything else besides wax for trade? I have a jar of autofinesse desire for trade if you are interested .
 
I tried the Zymol Carbon on my Black metal flake, and got around the muting by
sealing with PA first. Made my flake jump off the paint. Application was a pleasure.

LOL!

Yeah, guilty of the same..

I usually use waxes on solid colors, but not always. The last time I used it on a metal flake paint finish, I couldn`t discern any muting of the flake.

For a "clearer" wax, maybe Megs M26?
