I want a wax that leaves a black haze

I use a spray wax called Nano Wax. It's available at the auto parts stores like AutoZone. It's easy to use. Just spray it on and wipe it off. It can be sprayed over windows and black trim without causing any funny whiting or hazing. I use it on all my vehicles. It leaves them shiny, slick, and the water beads up nicely. An added bonus is that the bugs just wash off easily instead of sticking.

I invented one! Comes in an empty 5 gallon pail for $500.00, just add wax. Or buy a new one every year.

Wellllll, I've been driving my van for 16 years so I must be doing something right. we have this nasty thing here called winter, complete with salted roads. I also haven't wasted thousands of hours washing and waxing during those 16 years. Like I said, it looks as good as most any other 16 year old vehicle.

Along the original topic, there are colored waxes already. Back in my youth, I had a red sports car and I did wax it a time or two with red wax.

Yeah. We just got killer sun

What do you do to keep them shiny and slick? I know some spray on chemicals can make them look shiny, But do not make them slick.

I wash the RVs once per year with bleach and LA's Totally Awesome. I wash the other vehicles several times a year with an automobile specific soap product. The occasional wash keeps them shiny enough for me.

What is the benefit to being "slick", doesn't seem important to me.

My brother is the type that waxes his car monthly and washes every couple days. He finds great self worth in having a clean vehicle. He is a very shallow person. It has always seemed silly and a waste of time to me.

Being slick does ac few things. One helps with MPG, 2 helps keep it clean, things don't stick to it as good, and easier to wash off.

You don't really wash them with bleach, and Awesome, and not put any protectant back on do you? That stuff takes all the wax, and shine off. Leaves a very rough finish. Dulls the decals as well.

I wash my vehicles on a regular basis. I wax my entire TT once a year, and the front cap twice a year to help keep bugs off.
I wax my truck, and car when the finish feels rough, and no longer beads water.

I have a lot invested in our vehicles, and want them to last, and I want the finish to last as well. My truck is 11 years old. The paint looks as good as it did the day it came off the showroom floor.

My previous TT was 10 years old. and the paint again looked like it did the day it came from the factory. They both sat out in the weather 24/7.
It's not about being shallow. It's about taking care of your stuff, and making it last. Oh and for me. Waxing a vehicle is in fact relaxing, and takes my mind off of "stuff"

And as I have had to scratch, claw, skrimp, and sacrifice to get, and keep the things I have. I have to take really good care of them. The truck, and the TT are at this point not replaceable, at least not by me. If they fall apart, they are just gone.

I have had that problem for 30 plus years. Even spoke to Barry Maguire about it at a car show.Thought of using food color but haven't yet.

Works great. It's fiberglass anyway and hasn't rusted yet.

:? rust??

That's ok Terry. My wife doesn't get my jokes either....:)

Well believe it or not. I fell for it, and looked it up. and according to them. certain types of wax CAN cause rust. Although I have never seen it in 50 years of waxing cars.

I want a wax that goes on and comes off by itself.

I've got that. For around $100.00 per car. I can make that happen for you
