Personally I tend to use a sealant rather than wax mostly due to ease of application.

Anyone have any opinions?

Used it today and remembered I need to upgrade my wax. It attracts dust. Drove 3 miles and the car was all dusty.

The doo doo juice I had didn't do that and was just about as easy to use. Little bit more effort to remove.

Really? Mine wasn't dusty after driving over 150 miles. Lol.

I don't know if i am alone here, but i find myself resisting the urge to taste it lol. Best comment ever: "Oh my god you smell good" - my wife when i came in the house after applying tech wax 2.0 (personally i probably smelled terrible) Maybe start using as a cologne?

The title should be "Paint Sealant, Natural Wax, or Paint Coating - Which do you use?" :thumbsup:

Things be changing in the car care world, though you may not know it unless you frequent the detailing forums. Each of the above have their pros and cons, but as of lately I am all about paint coatings.

A few articles the touch on some of my favorite's for each of that categories:

I have the paint protection on my car, and when I was in the dealership they said to not put a wax on. What should I be using instead? Also, there is the 3M cover on the hood to protect from chips.

I was wanting to use - Nu Finish, the Once a Year Car Polish
