Car Wax Comparison Test


Just read the July 2006 issue of Consumer Reports. They tested car waxes in the "old stand-by" paste in a can, liquids and the newer Spray types.

Very interesting in that the top rated waxes were the liquids and not the paste wax in a can! See below – numbers in parenthesis are CR ratings based upon tests.

Zymol and P21S did not do too well in the tests which surprised me. Also, Turtle Wax had eight different products. One was rates a Best Buy … others were spread from the middle to the bottom.

Liquids
1) Black Magic Wet Shine Liquid Wax BM48016 – Best Buy (84)
2) Turtle Wax Carnauba T-6 Best Buy (84)
3) Eagle One Nanowax (75)

8) Zymol (68)

Pastes
