As the title says l am need of a wax for my new car, something that's easily applied and removed with little residue and quick curing especially at this time of year, it's just for the interim, as l am going to get the car ceramic coated and the front covered in xpel

Ps not paying more than £60 lol
 
Collinite is great for the winter.

Farecla G3 wax is easy on and off and comes with the applicator sponge around £27. Buffs off with a MF with no hassle.

Lower budget: FK1000p (cheap and hardwearing)
Higher budget: Swissvax Mirage (probably wasted for winter though)

@jassyo06

you won't go wrong with any of the waxes from here & @Bristle Hound will hopefully back me up :yes:

http://www.obsessionwax.com/

Have a read through all the types of waxes & pick one which you think suits your needs best.

I've tried most of them and they are all excellent.

I won't use any other brand now.

Yeah mate was looking at them last night, l liked the one you can customise to suit yourself, l will get some thing special probably for Xmas looking at the kamikaze hybrid wax that contains carnauba wax and ceramic coating in one, think l will just go with a few pot samples from dodo juice as l need the kit for the weekend as the weather up here is going to start getting colder

I’ve got the customised wax from Obsession Wax. Fantastic wax, can’t fault it. I got the limited edition Phantom infused with Si02. Love it!

How much was this kit mate
Click to expand...

Was £85, I got it a deep purple colour and smelling of bubble gum because why not:tearsofjoy:
It would of been cheaper if I didn’t customise it.
Not sure if he’s still selling the Si02 infused one but if you email him he’d be more than happy to answer any questions.
Was another reason I ordered from Obsession Wax as well as the recommendation from @Bristle Hound

@jassyo06 - As your looking at an interim treatment prior to a full Pro Detail I would advise using like a Ceramic/Si02 QD
I would recommend Infinity Wax's QDx
https://www.infinitywax.com/infinity-wax-qdx-ceramic-quick-detailer-500ml.html

Check out their Facebook page as Mike the owner, often post's some decent discount codes up on there
I got a bottle of QDx but haven't got round to using it yet
May well my winter 'go to' QD

If you must have a ceramic/Si02 infused wax my wee scotch friend, check out Detailing World (if you dare) as there is plenty of these type of waxes popping up all the time

Like @Snake Pliskin I'm a huge fan of Obsession Wax
Can't recommend Jay's products enough

I particularly like Evolution V2, but like Sanke says there ain't a bad 'un

Few good winter waxes are good old Collinite 466s/915 or the 845 any are good, Bilt Hamber double speed wax is also a great long lasting winter wax, i use this over winter the most as it last for months and very cheap, comes as a kit for £15 i think it is retail, if you're looking for a great caranuba wax use Raceglaze Signature 55, one coat will last for 6 months (subjective or washing & use)

Do any of these cure quickly mate?
 
Yeah they all do mate, I tend to do half of the car at a time with them then remove it

I’m liking the sound of the Evolution V2, but I see they also have this wax but with some Si02 - what benefits does this give?
