Hello all,

First, let me say, I am in no way affiliated with this product.

If you are not familiar with Jax Wax products, I would suggest them to anyone. http://www.jaxwax.com/ (http://www.jaxwax.com/)

This outfit makes some of the best auto finish wax I have ever used.

I first became familiar with it when working with a Hooters Cup Pro series race team this summer at Jennerstown Speedway. I was working with a race team out of Columbus, Oh over a weekend this summer and when we were prepping the car for the race that evening we gave it a going over with Jax Wax liquid carnauba paste wax. It had the consistency just a bit thicker than water. The stuff went on easy and came off easier and made a car that had spent the afternoon running practice laps and a qualifying session like great. Two of us waxed the entire car in about 10 minutes.

I have just purchased the Jax Wax swirl remover wax which is recommended by Jax Wax for black finishes.

I just got done waxing my 2 week old G8 sedan that is Panther black with the swirl remover and as God as my witness, I have never seen a black car look like this. I could almost reach down into the paint.

I think I pee'd my self a little when I first stepped back to look at it. :D

It is the by God best wax product I have ever used in my life and I HIGHLY recommend it to anyone that want a quality wax job with minimal effort.

It is a bit pricey, the 16oz bottle was $15, but worth every penny in my opinion.

If you have a black finish, you really need to try the swirl remover. It is absolutely amazing stuff.

I will never by another wax product other than Jax Wax as long as I can wax my own vehicles!

I cannot recommend it enough.

I've used many different types of wax and nobody can hold a candle to them.

You won't regret it!! :D

I'm not knocking the Jax Wax or anything, but I found some wax that will blow anything away. It's what they use on the exotics at shows and even at the Concours. Most of you have probably heard of or even have seen Zymol, it's carried at most auto stores. But if you ever check out their website that's where their real wax is. They can have up to 50% pure carnuba in their waxes, but that means it can be VERY expensive but the shine and protection it offers is unbelieveable. I only use it on MY car (I'm selfish with it. Lol!) 1 or 2 times a year and the rest of the time I just use some cheaper stuff. If you are like me and you love to get your car as shiny as possible and don't mind spending $50 or more on wax then you should definately try it. They also sell every other type of cleaner, but I've personally only used the wax and leather cleaner.

Here's a link to their site: http://www.zymol.com/zymolcreamewax8oz.aspx

Use proper material for washing your car which wont effect the paint of it.
