I use "Mothers California Gold Carnauba Wax", btu on my pyroglazed milk bottles, not the car.

The wife washes and waxes my car, so I'd have to ask her.

I agree with the Mequires part - never let anything get bad enough that it needed to be clayed. I've also learned the best Mequires is the paste - not the liquid that you squirt out the bottle.

What Twitch said. I use it on guns, too. I was sold the first time I didn't leave any fingerprints on a nickel-plated gun that had Meguiars used on it.

Mother's polymer car wax.
It cleans a Rifle bore like crazy.

I use Carnauba Wax in car washes when I'm not waxing, and use Carnauba Wax from Mothers once every three months.

I use both, but not on my farm truck! I gave up trying to keep it clean about six years ago, after we settled into the place and I had some spare time. I did a numba ONE job on it, and drove to town. When I got out and looked, it looked just like it did BEFORE I did the job. I'm done wasting my time! But I still use both on gun work, and they both work GREAT!
