Best wax to use on clear coat paint - 986 Forum - The Community for Porsche Boxster & Cayman Owners

I just purchased my first Porsche, a 2003 Boxter S. I was wondering what is the best wax to use? Thanks.

Zaino products are excellent. The first application is a bit time consuming, but after that the products are very easy to use. I've been using them on my black '06 Nissan 350Z with outstanding results: deep luster with a minimum of swirls, which are a problem with black cars.

I certainly hope when I get my new '07 speed yellow Boxster next week I don't have swirl problems. (I think black cars are beautiful when clean, but they are a pain to keep that way.)

I've had great results with Meguiar's NXT...of course I've only used it on silver cars (NO BLACK FOR ME!!!)

much cheaper, easier and looks great.

Menzerna products to buff out scratches, Klasse all in one for the acrylic glaze base and S100 Carnauba (buy it at any Harley dealership) and man oh man, what a shine!

Worked for 8+ hours on my 95 Lexus LS400 and it looks like a new car. Amazing products!

I would suggest meguiars yellow 21 or something. Dont know the name for sure, its in a crappy bottle and not very appealing to the eye (from what I recall) but its the best wax they make, like pure caranuba or something. Better shine than the gold class though.

R-
My car is black. On my shelf I have Klasse All One and Zanio. I found myself reaching for the Zanio products and watching the dust collect on KAO.
Go with Zanio, you won't be disappointed.

This is a very good product. I used this on my wheels until I discovered Rejex. Works really nice on reds.

Rangriff, did you buy your car at White Allen?

I've used the Zaino with great success, and as the others have said it's easy once you get over the initial pain. If you order some, you might ask them if they could take 5 minutes out of their time counting money to write directions that are readable.
