20 Best Wash And Wax For Car (2023 Updated)

dont listen to the 1 star guy, been using this for years and it works great, can use it in the wash water, and use it as you dry after washing, can use it instead of washing, can use it as a quick detailer, a glass cleaner that works like rainx, use it on rubber to restore shine and plastics instead of harmful armorall, on tires to give that clean look without the super wet shine of the tire sprays.

i use this on everything and never has an issue.

Average customer reviews are not particularly positive. Many, who have been using this wash-and-wax all-in-one product for decade, claim that the original desirable formula has been undesirably changed.

Many others complain about the adverse effect it has on glassleaving a foggy residue and streaks that are it very difficult to remove. Pay attention: Drying after rinsing is imperative; otherwise, spotting will occur.

Overall assessment: Probably a combination wash-and-wax liquid added to clean water for a double-duty function is not a good idea. Best is to return to the old-fashioned method of washing with a respectable car shampoo and then waxing with with a different respectable ingredient.

Besides, waxing every time you wash your vehicle should not be necessary. A double-duty product panders to lazy peopleincluding me.

I have been using this product for decades and have always had good results with it. A week ago I had my wife pick up a bottle when she went shopping with her Mom. She came home with Turtle Wax Max Power wash.

I have to return it and get the regular Zip Wax Car Wash I have been using for years. The Max Power wash soap scares me cause it says it can strip wax and even clearcoat from your car. Be carefull it says, be sure to mix the proper amount with the proper amount of water.

No , I’ll stick with the old fashioned zip wax wash.

I was advised it by a fellow whose family had owned a dealership. They would use it (& child labor) to detail the cars. It saves labor compared to “wax-on wax-off” rubbing / wiping around. I had been able to buy it at the store for years before.

This time, I searched all over town and could not find it. You only need to use a little bit diluted with water; so a bottle lasts a long time. Not that shiny, but good enough for the cars you want gone.

I really like Meguiar’s Gold Class Car Wash and I have been using it for years. It goes a really long way with only a capful into a bucket and the suds just last and last. I have only recently started using it with my newly acquired snow cannon.

I initially tried another brand of snow cannon product not knowing at the time that Meguiar’s Gold Class Car Wash was also suitable. My Meguiar’s appeared to perform better than the other brand and was a lot thicker foam.

My only gripe which has nothing to do with Meguiar’s is that the snow cannon uses much more product as opposed to the old capful into a bucket. Guess it comes down to time and effort. I definitely give 5 stars to Meguiar’s Gold Class Car Wash.

This product exceeded my expectations! I usually purchase the ‘Armor All Car Wash Product’ but it was out of stock so I decided to give this a try since it had decent ratings and I’m glad I did! My car is a 2007 and it made my car look cleaner and shinier than ever! I’m not sure how some people aren’t getting results.

This is how I wash my car for great results: – Park car in Shade (very important). Leave car to cool if it’s been in direct sunlight. – Use two buckets (one to dip the sponge in water product and the other bucket to squeeze the dirty water into it.

Make sure to only use a few oz of product into the bucket. Afterwards, spray water into bucket so it can get nice and sudsy. I use two buckets so that I’m not pushing around dirty water around the car.

– Rinse entire car with water – Wash car in sections and rinse off immediately. Start from the roof of the car to the bottom. – Leave the wheels and rims for the very end – After washing, dry with clean towels.

This is important. This will make sure you don’t have any hard water spots Don’t take shortcuts when washing your car. If you do, you won’t get the best results! Highly recommend this product. Will be buying again in a couple of months when I run out.

I keep my camper on a large lake that has frequent bug hatches and those bugs leave deposits that stick like tar. I put about 3 oz. of Gel-Gloss RV heavy duty concentrated wash & wax with about 2 gallons of water in a 5 gallon bucket.

Rinsed the camper off with the hose and using a car wash brush applied the Gel-Gloss and used average scrubbing and I was amazed at how effortlessly it removed those deposits! Also the camper has a wonderful shine.

works great, lots of lubricants and doesn’t scratch fiberglass, smells good too

I tried using this from a previous TURTLE WAX CAR WASH purchase that was made. However, this is worse! Again, this seems to be a watered down product and after being burned by TURTLE WAX for a second time, I’m moving on to a new product manufacturer.

Something different has changed for TURTLE WAX and not for the better.

Used it on my Dump truck at work at first I did not believe the hype have been using Turltle Wax Max Power but this stuff is all that an than some I used to wax truck Bi- Weekly I now do it once a month and it still gives me that show truck- shine I am looking for even on an off- road truck.

Can’t wait to try other products. Andrew Coatesville PA.

Unfortunately I couldn’t take a picture of it but definitely will next time when I test another product but this soap honestly amazed me! it worked even better than I expected cleaned well and gave me a amazing shine glossy reflection on my Paint for sure !.

I’ve used turtle wax rinseless car wash several times now and am pleased with the ease of application, it’s cleaning ability and the resulting slick shine. It leaves a mirror like finish on my 2014 Tacoma.

I live in a dusty environment in western colorado. My truck is not garaged. This product does not attract dust. Rain sheets off of the finish for weeks. I will usually coin op car wash a quick spot free rinse to remove any heavy dirt.

Then I use one bucket of 2 gal. water and 4 oz. TW rinseless car wash. I’ve got a 15 pack of microfiber cloths. 7 cloths are folded, soaking in the bucket. I use one soaked cloth per section, wiping one direction in a back and forth straight line.

When it is dirty I put the cloth in another “to be washed” empty bucket, not to be reused. I dry the washed section with one of the other 8 clean dry cloths. and then place them in the “to be washed bucket”.

I usually use 5 cloths to clean the paint and 2 cloths for the tires and wheels. This product does a great job of cleaning and shining the paint. Scrubbing is not necessary except for bugs. You won’t scratch the finish if you use one cloth per section, in a light back and forth motion.

OK to wash glass and plastic trim. Just wipe it off before it dries. I save any unused solution in empty plastic jugs for next time. Since you never put the cloth back into the solution once it touches the car, the solution never gets dirty.

When you wash all the used cloths you don’t even need detergent because they are already soaked with car wash. Thanks to Gary Dean for this method.

I’ve been testing the waters of a rinseless car wash method. The more I practice it the more I’m really liking it so far. Since this was my first time using this methode, i hosed the car down first. I used 4oz of TWRFWW in 4 gls of warm tap water.

I placed 5 or 6 very plush microfiber towels in the solution. Rung out slightly and folded the towel in 1/4. Then gently wiped from the top to the bottom of one panel then refolded the towel so a clean part was showing and moved on the the next panel.

One towel took care of one side of the vehicle. I did the top, trunk & hood/bonnet with the first towel. One towel for each side and one towel each for the front and rear of the car. After each towel was used i set it aside to be washed.

This way I aways had clean solution in my bucket. After the car was done I gave it a final buff with the clean soft polishing microfiber towel. I still have enough clean solution left over to do my next wash.

I think Turtle Wax has a winner with this product. KB in MD.

This stuff works great! Plus, you can wash your car at night in your garage, in cold weather (within reason) in your insulated garage, or during water restrictions. That’s a big chunk of my weekend I just saved.

Use your noggin though. Its not for really really dirty cars. Even there I like it so much that I’ll squirt some plain water on the car at the coin operated carwash to knock the dirt off then go home and do this.

Also, take the time to really measure the water and product–don’t guess. This method called the “Garry Dean” method works even better than the official instructions. You can look it up on youtube: 1.

Get a bunch of microfiber towels at Wal-Mart. The cheapest they have. Honestly, one of the really big bags at Sam’s Club are even better. I’d get at least a dozen. 2. Mix a spray bottle with this stuff at 8X strength.

That means putting two ounces into a pint spray bottle. 3. Get two five gallon plastic buckets. For a car put in two gallons of water (measure!) For a truck put in three. Mix your product according to the label.

Mark the side of the bucket so you can just fill it up to the line in the future. 4. Put a bunch of your microfiber towels in your bucket of hooch and reserve a few. Spritz a panel with your spray bottle.

Toss a soaked towel on and swipe it around lightly. Toss it in the empty bucket as soon as it looks even a little dirty, or when the panel is done. Whichever comes first. Take a wrung out towel and wipe lightly.

Follow with a dry towel. Never return a used towel to the bucket of solution. Put your wrung out towel and even your drying towel in the “to be washed” bucket once in a while too. Repeat until the car is done.

5. Wash and dry the towels by themselves. I run ’em through the washer twice just to be careful. Finally, if you get a lid for your bucket, you can mix this stuff in advance, put your towels in and have it waiting for you in the garage when you are ready to go.

It is VERY safe. I scrutinize my car pretty hard. Not a single scratch of any kind on it after two years.

Good value car wash solution. I have bought other brands at Canadian Tire and bought this one because it was on sale. It works, pretty much as expected and compared to other products at this price range.

Not too bad. Not roo bad at-all. I’ve had good success with Turtle Wax Zip wash and wax. It seems to clean well, and the fleet of two 10 years-old cars and a newish bike have a little shine_sheen to them without much effort.

Great for removing bugs and sap and the worst of all bird doodoo! It easy to use it leaves a silky feel to the panels, it dosent drying up and leave stain marks as you are cleaning. After you rinse the vehicle of the finish was amazing, and the comments i have had! What polish have i used? Highly reconmended.

Excellent cleaning, leaves no streaks and a great finish. Rain water beads off my car, looks really good. Great shine, highly recommended. You really don’t need a lot either, so the 4L will go along way.

Will definitely buy again next time I need car shampoo.

I wouldn’t use this on a car that’s recently been waxed, it’ll probably remove the wax. I wondered how strong it was so I tried it neat on some very grubby wheels and it cleaned them quickly. Definitely has its uses and I’ll use it mixed pretty strongly to clean my car before I wax it next time.
