    I looked at PepBoys for a wax that will last as long as possible through
    touchless car washes and I'm confused. Who makes the longest lasting car
    wax, Nu-Finish, Mothers, Turtle wax 2002, Kit Carnauba, Prestone, Zaino,
    Meguiars, Zymol, etc?

    Does anybody have information or an opinion on a good wax?

    Thanks,

    Zaino, with two coats I get all yr protection, as long as you don't strip
    the polish off with a harsh soap,I usually wash once a week all yr long.

    You're comparing apples and oranges...Nufinish is not a wax.

    Prestone High Protection Wax. Does it last as

    Nu Finish. Optical waxes are good for auto shows and that's about
    all. Trick with Nu Finish: don't rub, leave the polish alone until
    COMPLETELY dry, about 1/2 hour (most people don't let Nu Finish dry
    sufficiently and try to rub it off prematurely). Tough as nails against sun
    and elements. The fewer times you "rub" your car's finish .. . the fewer the
    scratches and rub marks. Read C.U.'s Consumer Reports on auto wax &
    polishes. A fool and his/her money are soon parted.

    Too bad 3M rates so low in durability.
