Wax on cement

is there a certain kind of wax that would look better than others on cement color? Or all they all basically the same?

 

There will be as many opinions as there is wax. I like Eagle 1 myself

 

Just never done a wax before so needing some ideas! Lol

 

ZAINO

 

Get a sealant. It will last longer than a wax. Typical carnival wax will melt off during the summer.

I recommend Opti-seal. If done right is a wipe on and walk away product. Expensive but a little goes a long ways.

 

Auto wax

 

Im with Ace in recommending a paint sealant as opposed to a wax. I'd recommend Duragloss 111, with a coat of Duragloss 601 applied first. The 601 is a "primer" of sorts and it greatly increases the longevity of the sealant. Super glossy stuff and it looks great on flat/lighter colors like cement.

If you want something easier, yep opti-seal is a great option. Meguiars Fast Finish is another good option and probably available locally.

McKee's 360 and McKee's HiDef Paint Sealant are a couple more that would look nice on cement. 360 is an all in one (clean, polish, seal). The HiDef is a straight up sealant, and a very durable one.

 

Zaino is polish not wax but it's good stuff! I used to use it when I detailed my muscle cars, it used to take two days to do everything the right way but worth it.

I use mcguire's on mine now

 

Not quite right on Zaino. Zaino is not just a polish. Some of their stuff is an AIO...Cleaner, Polish, protectant

No wax, use a sealer.
It gives a glass like effect and will last much longer than a wax.

Waxes should be used on black or dark cars for a depth look. Lighter cars look better with sealers.

 

Colinite 845 is best I have found. Alittle goes a long way and it last on the vehicle through snow, rain, and extreme heat.

 

Is sealer the same way to apply? I don’t have much room or tools to work with. Live in apartment complex lol

 

Sealer will apply the same as wax.

 

There’s not a spray sealer is there?

 

Sure is. All sorts of options. I use Optimum Opti-seal which is a wipe on and walk away product. Also, Adams Guard and Gloss is a sealer you apply while vehicle is wet. Both super easy to use.

 

Meguiars Ultimate Fast Finish is a good one that's often available locally.

 

i go to the park, under a nice shady tree nobody pays u no mind

 

You try that in our park and a bird or 2 will shat on your truck while you are waxing it. I do mine right in the carwash self serve bay early in the morning. Sometimes I'll pull out in the city parking lot across the street.
