The problem i have with wax is it gets in the few paint chips i have and turns them white which makes them very visable on a red car... Is there a wax that wont do this or is there a way of getting rid of this problem?

I know Turtlewax used to make a colormatch wax paint chip stick. It was basically close to the color of your car and you wiped it over paint chips to fill in before waxing. Worked pretty well I thought.

turtle Wax is the worst. Meguires Gold is my Fav. I am big on detailing and have tried a ton of stuff so far its the best I have used. Keep in mind my car is black it is the worst color to keep clean and it is very hard to wax because if you use cheap stuff it will streak all over the car and will take hours apon hours to get out. look at the shine in these pic I love it. it like a mirror image. the first is the rear door on the passengers side of the car.

I lied. I guess that didn't work. Go to Exterior and detailing, then to detailing gear.

My car is almost always spotless. I wash and Wax it every tueday or wednesday. If its raining ill wash it in the rain pull it into the garage dry it and wax the next day. Here a a couple more. I think my camera does some picture magic as well. But black paint when its clean it the best
