Is there really a difference between the brands of car wax?

Question

Whats the difference between the off brand carnuaba wax and the name brand?

Why is one wax more expensive than the other when they all are basicly the same?

Answer 1

some waxes and polishes are better then some. myself, i like either mothers or maguires.

Answer 2

YOU NEED A WAX not a polish.  read the label.  you do get what you paid for.  you'll need one that comes in a can.  and a little elbow grease and do it regularly every three months .  the water needs to "bead up" on your car to know that you are protected !!

while you're at it, put some rain x on the windows too !!

Answer 3

I believe they are mostly the same, but some products are waxes while others are polishes.   Just check the label to see if you prefer a wax or polish.  Generally speaking, a wax provides great shine and protection but will need to be re-applied more frequently than a polish.  Also check your owner's manual to see if you can use a petroleum-based product on your car's finish. Some are petroleum based.    I've used all these types with great success, so I think you may just want to experiment over time to see what you like on your car.  Good luck!

Answer 4

I guess that question would go under the "personal preference" area.

Personally I use "turtle wax" ,only because my grand-dad used it years and years ago.

It will take some elbow grease, but you get a workout and a shinny car!

Answer 5

they r not all the same...some have almost no wax others have 2 or 3 kinds
