I am comparing this product against the Chemical Guys Instawax and Carnuba. Has anyone compared and what would you recommend?

Sorry not me, but a carnauba wax works diferent from the meguiar wax. The meguiars I think is superior, the main reasson is the wax only protects the paint from water by sealling the surfase, but the meguiars go one step up by adding a substanse thats repells water no only guards againt water.

I have not used the Chemical Guys wax, but will say the meguiars works great. It is very easy to apply and holds up well.

It runs in well, though it is a physical sunblock and not nano, so will obviously be a bit more noticeable than chemicals. Have not had any problems with it on clothes. Have not tried the other product, sorry. All in all, we love this -- in fact, my wife and I now use it too usually, as well as our daughter. (The only difference between this and their "adult" product is what it's designed to smell like, I've been told.)

With this and other pure (non-cleaner-type) carnauba paste waxes I find that it works best if you use a very thin layer. I don't use the applicators that come in the package because they tend to apply it too thick. I use an old cotton sock cut off at the tip so I can place it over my fingers. I spread a VERY thin layer on the sections of the car then let it dry for at about an hour. Although most carnaubas can be buffed almost immediately after applying, I find it best to let it dry completely before buffing. To remove I use an old soft cotton towel folded up with just a little spritz of water sprayed on one side. I buff with the dry side first, they go over the area again with the slightly damp side. This levels the wax as well as removing any wax dust residue that may be left behind. After buffing several sections, just re-fold the towel to get fresh clean sides before continuing. For a deeper shine I will 'layer' more coats on top of the first waiting at least a day between coats to allow the previous coat to 'cure'. Again, I find the thinner the coats, the better. One other thing - be very careful not to get any on the black plastic or rubber as it can leave a white residue that can be very hard to remove. If your car is exposed to the elements you will want to re-wax with another layer fairly often as carnauba wax is not known for its longevity. But for a deep shine you cannot beat a good carnauba wax. I find Meguiars Gold Class is easy to use and very inexpensive for a carnauba wax of this quality. Hope this helps and happy waxing!

I have used every brand at some point. Some work better than others. The best are Metallica and one coat cremes. Have fun!

I am very satisfied with this product. It suds up better and softens dirt and grime quickly. I use it on the household windows in the spring, wet the windows use a clean car mit and the window is done in less then a minute.I would not count on the wax component for the car you will need to wax. Ultimate is my favorite wax but NXT works great too. You owe yourself a trial of this product you will like it, if you don't go back to the other. $8.00 through Amazon

The one I have made best experiences with for this is the one for chemically treated hair. It worked really well for me. I can recommend it.

I wouldn't recommend this one. I am African American and Perfect Image glycolic acid peel 30% are way better and give lasting results.

this is the same one i tried. If you want something simple try Baqua spa chemicals. It does not have the bromine odor and its very simple to use. The spa stick i have tried twice,the problem with it is it cant keep up if you have numerous ppl in ur spa. Try baqua spa chemicles, i like it better than Anything else i have used :-) You still have to use chemicles with the "stick"

Windex, BarKeepers Friend, or Ceramabrite all work great. Ceramabrite seems to last longer than the others. Probably the wax coating it leaves behind.

I use Shout Advanced and let it sit on there for hours or overnight. Works well. Yes, it's a chemical... but in this case- I think it's worth it! Got red melted dye candle wax out of a vintage white table cloth!

Well, this wax is carnauba based and he NXT is more of a synthetic wax. I find synthetic waxes from meguiars harder to apply and buff out. They do last a little longer though. You should still see water beads 3~ months from the Gold Class though.

This stuff isn't bad but Meguire's ultimate black works better. Or try linseed oil although it becomes a little tacky at first.

Try to stay away from products such as "7 in 1" type products. 1. The 2 Minute Miracle Gel is smaller compared to the Cure exfoliator. I have had my Cure exfoliator for about 2 months so far, and i haven't even used a quarter of it. 2. The Cure Exfoliator is free from preservatives, fragrance, artificial coloring or alcohol and it contains natural plant extracts from aloe vera, gingko, and rosemary. 3. There are no beads in the Cure Exfoliator, which is good for your skin. As an unbiased opinion, i would defiantly go with the Cure Natural Aqua Gel Exfoliator. It is 250ml which is 8.45 oz, where as the 2 Minute Miracle Gel is only 2 oz. You get more for your money. I have used 2 Minute Miracle Gel and it broke my skin out horribly. Read as many reviews as you can on each product and try to make a decision. :) It never hurts to try something.

From what I understand I'd go with the super mud for pores and blackheads. That's what it's primarily supposed to do. I haven't tried the other one though so I can't say for certain. Good luck!

I agree with the others on this thread. I am pretty amazed at how long the finish holds up. I've detailed cars professionally off and on for about 20 years. This is hands down one of the best wax products I have ever used. Not just spray waxes, any wax.

It is not any better, they are both excellent products. Give them both a try is my recommendation.

You can top 845 with OCW (Optimum Car Wax) if you wish, but in my opinion, 845 is tougher and longer lasting, and good on it's own. Some reviewers think it outlasts many sealants. As with all waxes and sealants, it is always best to apply as thinly as possible, especially with both 845 and OCW, to avoid streaking. You really can't go wrong with either, though I am more partial to OCW because it is faster and easier to apply and still gives great results.
