Can anyone suggest a Wax please

I got a new Ibiza that I was looking to wax up. I have a very minor scratch on the hood that I wouldn't mind hiding either. Price doesn't matter on this one either.

Anyone have an idea for a hard wearing wax that may even help fend off the nasty road rocks, bugs, tar, ect....?

I hear Mags have a nice range. Maybe the Gold Wax, or the NXT gen wax?

I would love to find something that doesn't leave the white behind as well. I'm always hitting the trim and it stays white forever.

Have a little search, there's lots of recommendations in this section.

I have done a search, but with so many products and different paints and uses I thought I should ask.

I would hate to use a hard abrasive on new paint, or wax that would discolour clearcoat.

you cant wax a scratch out you need to polish it out with something like T-cut or scratch x by hand.

if you want a hard wearing wax the collinite is the way to go

Collinite 476s is the daddy IMO, last up to 6 months.

As for polish, dont use T-cut as it is very harsh and sucks

Menzerna Intensive polish is a very good polish that will take out light marks by hand, and medium to heavy swirling via a buffer [like a Porter cable]

Follow the polish up with something like MEguiars #7 show car glaze and then the collintie and your on to a winner.

But first dont use a sponge or a chamois as the damage the paint badly. GEt your self 2 buckets and s decent wash mitt and a waffle weave towel for drying.

have a look at the site sponsors for some great deals.

Cheers
