Meguiars NXT Generation Tech Wax 2.0 is good, or if you're looking for something more high end and don't mind spending a little more then Blackfire is some amazing stuff. http://www.detailedimage.com/Blackfi...ct-description

If you have a PC or similar machine its great stuff when you need something to stand up to outdoor exposure. I personally use it on all my lower rocker panels and wheels since my ride doesn't see a whole lot of harsh winter conditions here in SoCal.
would have went with you guys but i need something that works by hand. i think im gonna try the meguiars next weekend. i heard the standard turtle hardshell wax is good, any opinions?

Not sure about Turtle Wax, for waxing done by hand we use the Meguiar's. My husband is very particular about what detailing supplies we buy... after detailing for a living we're both kinda OCD about it, lol.

That is what you need! Adams is by far the best product out there and i have used everything including the Mcguiers and nothing compares!

When it gets warm again, you should use some Blackfire on it. Your paint color is awesome and Blackfire would really bring it out.
