Thank you for your informative review on Prestone Wax.
I have relatively short experience with waxing and have some questions.
I found that a really time consuming job is preventing and removing stains on rubber, plastic trims and crannies.
So I am looking for wax that stains trim less. I considred TurtleWax Platinum Ultra, but I have no information about its durability.
How was Prestone Wax in trim staining?
BTW, does Meguiars #20 stain trim? Meguiars products usually have "keep away from vinyl. . . " warning. I feel that the strength of warning has to do with strength of trim staining.
When I used TurtleWax Super Hard Shell liquid, I had powdery stain on trim the next day, but the stain mostly disappeared naturally after a few weeks. It has milder warning than Meguiars products.
TurtleWax: "Not intended for . . ."
Meguiars: "Keep away . . " or "Do not apply wax on . . "
How does #20 compare with Prestone in durability?
I heared #20 does not beed water by design. Then how do you know whether you still have protection or not?
I recently bought $0.99 Prestone Wax (one time use package) and applied it on my hood. It felt thick and had light cleaning ability - I felt the cleaning ability was similar to Turtle Wax spray wax, though I did not do direct comparison -. It beads water very well now but I do not know yet how long it will last.
I have to choose a wax for next week's waxing. I will not be able to wax again until about next Spring, because it is too cold outside until then.
My car is always outside, there is a lot of salt on the road in this area in winter.
My car is 1992 Mercedes 300D white, 239000 miles. It has tens of touched up spots - these spots do not have clear coat -, but the paint still looks nice if seen from some distance away.
