The fact that wax is pretty harmless and can be applied by anyone is the big selling point. They offer great durability and the DIY element. They are a fantastic compromise and even proffered in most cases.

Another great Guru video, much enjoyed, thanks 😃 This Yaris is the first car for years that made me consider buying s brand new car, love it. Wax definitely is not dead, has its place for the enthusiast and I really enjoy using it, very therapeutic. I do use spray coatings and ceramics on some vehicles, there are some great products out there these days, horses for courses...

[@TheDopeNessMonster]

Thank you for this! I agree with everything you said here. You can't replace the experience of spending the time applying a paste wax to a car. At least in the driveway/garage scene where time isn't the most important thing.

[@markopolo9936]

Wax definitely has a place in my arsenal, nothing more therapeutic than applying a nice buttery carnauba wax and standing back to that lovely warm glow after that most synthetics won’t apply!

[@gazgandalf4854]

I enjoy the process of waxing a car. It's the first thing I do when I buy a new (to me) car, as I get to know all the ins and outs, and any areas which might need attention. It is a form of therapy to wax on then buff off. Also if you have a sedentary job, it's a good 'work out' if you take your time and enjoy it ... perhaps with a little music. I always use Bilt Hamber - it's not expensive, a little goes a long way and the finish is superb.

[@iProvisionals]

I've been slowly adding Bilt products to my collection at home. Just waiting for a good day to get out and wax the car without having the panels be red hot!

[@gazgandalf4854]

@@iProvisionals Bilt Hamber are excellent and consistent products and not expensive, and British. I was introduced to them by Jon. I just find old fashioned waxing a therapy. I can put music on or chat to passing folk. And wax seems to add a warm depth that silicones/sealants can't. But - I also use Turtle wax spray Sealant, in-between waxes, because it gives a lovely slick waterproof feel and great shine.

[@alex_and_cars_175]

[@jayrain1836]

I'm with you on this one, whilst i have tried some of the modern hybrid spray on jobby's, I have returned to using paste wax for pretty much all the reasons you mentioned in this video!

[@vetteboy1024]

I wish we could get the GR in the US. What a great little car. Hopefully the GR Corolla comes like it’s rumored to. I have been tempted to go back to paste after going into sprays, and coatings. It’s certainly more enjoyable to do a paste. You are 100% correct about the glow that pastes give off.

[@bloatedtonydanza7798]

I waxed my black Montero a week ago, with Sonax Black wax. It was so worth it! I’ve used silica/polimer based coating products, even ceramic. But wax it’s so good 😊 great vid mate

[@jasoncrandell2467]

The slickness of the new tw wax is almost unmatched. Used it today as a topper. The tin waxes will always be used by enthusiasts and warriors.

[@bazs2k567]

I agree that a paste wax has something much nicer about it and in my head it feels like I'm adding more protection if I'm working it in by hand haha. Fusso coat is one of my favourites, mainly due to its longevity

[@lukesteel9013]

10 years of car cleaning, i love a wax! Still a huge fan on the autoglym HD wax, although i have tried many many, some incredible. Some, unfortunately for me, i have had too machine off 😂

[@fdu6]

Decontaminated and liquid-waxed my mom's car today in the abnormally hot and sunny morning. Respect to those who do this every day for a living lol

[@tredfxman]

Waxing a car is easy. Maschine Polishing it much harder. Esp if you wanna do it correct like these experts with the 4 pre-steps. What i do myself each year is: degrease, ironiser treatment (to prevent rust), during ironising you could clay bar using the ironiser as liquid, shampo wash, then some does a full IPA alcohol wipe of the car before polish (i would probably do this IPA AFTER polish & before seal protection / coating instead as it makes more sense to me) and then Maschine Polish full car (some people do this in several steps, but its recomended to do only 1 polish of entire car, as your removing thin layers of clear coat when polishing) then when its finally polished 4-6 hours later, perhaps the next day you use coating or in my case Angelwax Ti-22 seal protection that specifically works with a wax. It needs high temperatures to cure & harden, 20-25 degrees recomended i have a garage tent where car stays in to not expose to direct sunlight. If around 25 degrees, it will take just 1 day for coating to cure! If under 20 degrees it can take up to two weeks for curing! Then lastly apply your favorite carnauba paste wax: in my case the immaculate Bilt Hamber Finis Wax for a staggering mirror shine! When done car looks better than from factory! 👍

[@YA-ee9zf]

Best detailer on KZbin.

[@Gary.Holmes]

I'm a bit late to comment but just picked up this video. I have a white pearlescent finish on my Merc E350 and NOTHING brings out the glitter better than a Carnuba wax. I'm halfway through a tub of Meguairs at the moment and very happy with it but also keen to experiment with other types. Great video. Sometimes the old ways are the best.

[@jeffabbott463]

Yaris looks awesome. I have some Fusso to use on my M140i, just need a dull dry day to apply it!

[@ant647448336]

The GR Yaris is an amazing car and I'd love to own one. No better feeling than going through a manual gearbox which leaves you feeling utterly connected to the car.

[@naiemar222]

Nice to see you again Joe keep up the wicked videos

[@davidgalloway6574]

Nothing like the intimacy of washing and waxing your car. Memories of my 1960 Imperial Crown comes to mind.

[@RJ-lk5pj]

I believe you get more results & appreciation from a paste wax and would prefer this as my application when needed(paste wax). I like to soften it up prior to use with some heat. One definitely gets up close and personal when the wax is waiting to flash. I grew up in the same city where they produce collinite wax and still prefer it- I like the results it brings. However, I like seeing these videos and the items others use to keep up to with the times. The white Yaris definitely came out nice.. white paint is truly a challenge.

[@jackhutchison7308]

I just find waxing therapeutic. That turtle wax ceramic+graphene mix is an epic wax! I've used it on 3 cars including my own and the protection and finish is incredible!

[@tiny19892]

great video, some very valid points. nice one

[@subarubrat]

Great video. Brilliant analogy with music.👍 The Yaris is mega!😎 Old skool all the way for me. I regularly wax my '04 Impreza STI PPP with Poorboy's Nattys blue paste wax.

[@craigwhitehousedetailing5797]

Great video buddy 😁 Absolutely nailed the point across too. Synthetics are great & ceramics are even better when it comes to longevity, but there really is no school like old school 😉

[@benhook1850]

Can’t beat a lovely pot of quality wax. It’s much more fun than a spray on sealant

[@Pennsyltucky84]

I've found they both have their own uses. For carnauba I use that last. It only lasts a few days, or maybe a few weeks, but you can't beat the pop of some warm carnauba.

@@rasch19785 I've never used 476. I'd say that possibly 915 just has the edge for durability over 845....just. Bonds beautifully to a panel wiped panel.

[@crocoman776]

I used a nice Paste wax (White Noise) on my cars spoiler and wing mirrors last night when it was dusk, and it was extremely satisfying. Far more involving then the usual spray waxes I would use. And as you say, a lot easier to see your application of it, and where you have missed etc.

[@andrewmarsden1970]

[@rasch19785]

Gearing up to wax mine, it's sat for the most of 6 months and 800 miles in the Garage, summer wheels on and now time for a clean and wax (it's clean, hasn't seen rain or snow)

[@eppyz]

I agree and think you are spot on by suggesting wax's give a sheen and shine all their own. Modern "nano" coatings are durable, and that's about it. Wax's and polymer sealants are much more forgiving, and due to the simplicity of application? You simply don't mind applying them more frequently. Nano coatings have their place, but they do have their con's. Water Spot issues in particular and the prep time takes more time than most have available. If you want to try an inexpensive synthetic wax that lasts a good 6 months, easy to apply and take off try DuraGloss 105 with their 601 Bonding Agent. You do not have to use the bonding agent, but it does double the life of the wax. On Amazon (USA) runs about $12 a bottle. Best bang for the buck that I personally know of. Well worth a try. Enjoy your videos, and your unbiased opinion towards the products you use. Great Job Guru👍😎

Wax every time for me. I like to be able to get to my clear coat whenever I like, whether it’s to polish or apply a different wax. As you say, there’s nothing like an application of a quality wax as a way of getting to know your car. Swissvax Best Of Show applied by hand is a simply stunning wax.

[@johnnytank944]

I'd love to drive that Gazoo Yaris. I used Autoglym Ultra High Definiton hard wax on my 1999 Passat before the winter came last year, and I'm thoroughly impressed by the lasting protection. Even through the harsh Norwegian winter, and despite me driving three times as far this winter as I normally do, the wax coating is still beading the water off like I applied it yesterday. I still have enough wax for a few more full applications, so I'm going to use it all up before I consider going ceramic or carbon.

Awesome video mate!! Autobrite direct sell a mini EZ version brush that’d be perfect for them huge callipers!! I much prefer waxing over ceramic coatings, as you said. With waxing I can test out new products whenever I want really, with ceramic coatings they’re just a nuisance to remove!!

[@CarAndMechanical]

Great video - GR owner so was interested to see how it responded to a good wax job - I've been using Meg's hybrid ceramic on mine and it's been years since I've had something worth a good wax - I baulk a bit at the cost of getting the car ceramic coated and and happy to detail myself so think I'll be exploring some wax options - will need to see how you tackled the rear plastics as they don't half mark/swirl/spot easy.

[@ATV-Grace]

Another good video! My paste wax of choice is "poor boys Natty Wax" brilliant stuff is that but I've recently been using "P&S Bead Maker" now that stuff gives my car some unreal shine and slickness! The only down side to the P&S is the dust in the air tents to be drawn to the car. Pretty annoying when you put the effort it to apply it.

[@piratezippy]

For my clients cars kept outside/daily drivers, I use BH double speed. For metallics i like G3 Pro SuperGloss Paste Wax. Megs NXT is another i like. older cars i use auto balm as sealant. I just love Carnauba wax. They have a place still.

Interesting narration. Great video. Great little car. I prefer an automatic over a manual myself these days. Especially given all vehicles will eventually be autos anyways. I find ceramics provide a better cost and repel water better. But waxes provide a warmer gleaming more pleasing to the eye finish. Whilst ceramics look super slick and make the paint look slick there is just something missing that a wax has.
