Wax Anyone? - Nissan Murano

truonyxrose · 03-17-2011, 02:42 PM

ive never been a big waxer but with a new car you want to keep it pretty as long as possible... and im starting to notice little surface scratches etc... and i was wondering will wax minimize or eliminate these scratches... and if so which kind.

im a novice at this stuff.. i usually just go to a hand wash place and thats that.. but with gas prices where they are I need to start doing this myself.. so any help would be much appreciated.

i guess i should add i WILL NOT spend 2+ hours waxing my MO... no matter how pretty she is

Ziano is the best in my opinion. Zaino Store
However, it will take some work the first time you use it. I don't have the time for it, but I've seen it used and it's simply an amazing product. It looks fantastic on dark cars and gets better with each coat.

I've had the best "easy" results from my local hand wash/spray carwash. They offer a spray wax. I can usually wash my vehicle myself for about $4.00.

Although, for my Murano I just stop by the dealership where I have free car washes for life.

After reading through various threads on this forum I eventually got Collinite Insulator Wax. I waxed up the MO in mid-December and it is still beading up quite nicely. The thing I like most about this wax is that it does not take a great amount to wax the car, I can apply to the entire car before beginning to buff it off, and it buffs off easily. An added bonus is that it doesn't leave any residue on plastic or rubber parts. I waxed the MO in under an hour.

i took my car to the hand car wash place and within an hour stupid seagulls had pooped all over it

so i went home and re-washed it and used some Maguires quick wax i had in the garage from last year.... i guess it will do for now.. and i will look into collinite... cuz if Zaino's takes long.. im out of the game before i even get started lol

Didn't you notice the guys on the roof of the car wash feeding bread to the seagulls?
