Total Newbe here, which wax?

I recommend Adams buttery wax, and i do it every time i wash my truck ... HTH

 

Zymol user as well. Easy to use, but can still stain black plastic. I tape up my black trim though. It smells great too! hahaha

 

Kristi:
What is your budget and what color Tacoma do you have?

 

Report back when you know decide on the color truck. I would recommend different products for both of those colors. If you're not terribly concerned w/ matching a sealant or wax to bring out the most in that color, and just concerned w/ putting some protection on the paint, then any standard over the counter wax (ie: meguiars) will do just fine. Reapply every 4-6 weeks.

 

Keep in mind that the easier a wax is to use, the less you will dread using it, meaning you will likely talk yourself 'in to' instead of 'out of' doing it several more times a year.

Ease of use matters...

 

Amen.
