best products for waxing/detailing?
Id like to wax and detail the outside of my silver gs soon, and was just curious as to what some fellow owners find works best, I know everyone has their own opinion, Ive only used turtle wax before and would love input on somnething else. thank you!

Collonite 845 insulator wax is the best stuff I have used. Easy to work with and protection last a good solid 6 months. Sonax has some good Quick detailer stuff. Optima wash is what I use for washing the vehicles. This will probably get moved over to the detail forum. Check there

There's gonna be a hundred opinions and there are a bunch of great threads in the detailing section. If you don't want to spend a lot bit want better than most otc stuff I've been really happy with Poorboys products.

If the only thing you have used is Turtle Wax, than pretty much anything is better than that hahaha.
There are so many good products out there that it's hard to say which is best. That's like asking a public forum which potato chips are the best; everyone will have their own preference and opinion.
If you are looking for long term durability, than look at nano coatings like Wolf's Hard Body, CarPro CQuartz, 22PLE, or Opti-Coat 2.0 (which is a permanent coating).
If you want to stick to a regular wax or sealant, I recommend Blackfire Wet Diamond, Collinite 845 or 476, or Menzerna Power Lock.
Obviously these are just my suggestions, but you will not be disappointed with any of the products I listed, they all completely blow Turtle Wax out of the water.

I hope that when they say the right tools they don't mean any power tools. Power tools and fine finishes don't mix.

And one time I did go a little crazy and did the wax application using my fingers.

Having a closed mind about using machines is not only holding you back, but also costing you a bunch of valuable time.
I can provide personal examples of how "power tools" and fine finishes play very nicely together... I've got tons of examples

There are some great articles and write-ups out there for step-by-step instructions on how to do this. Everyone will point you to one, but I'm pointing you to www.detailedimage.com and "wes_r" of Orion Detailing in Ontario, Canada.
Google search: wes-r detailing and read his articles. He is a magician.
