Best wax to use

[Yu1234]

Now that the weather in the UK is starting to pick up, what do other ZsEv users use after washing car, to give a nice finish to paintwork and give protection?
I have the black pearl Zs, and have been looking online at various wax and spray protection products, with varying reviews.
Opinions from Zs, notably the black coloured one, users would be greatly appreciated

I just let the dirt build up until it fully coats and protects the paint

My dad swears by Autoglym stuff.

I use autoglym aqua wash .really easy to use .the car doesn't need to be completely dry and you apply it with a damp cloth buffs off easy and its ok to do the glass and plastics without any problems .i don't do the windscreen ,but maybe you can i just prefer not to.

And it can be applied in sunlight ,forgot to mention that

I use turtle wax - wax it wet. spray on the wet car after washing and dry it off!

I have tried MANY different waxes and polishes over the years, but some how I always return to Auto Glym.
The resin polish with the red label is the favoured “Go To” option.
All detailing products is a massive subject on its own.
Wax polish can be hard work on a sunny day.
The Auto Glym resin polish can be used in all conditions with out to much hard work.
Their glass polish is good also, better than the fast glass spray.
A lot of their stuff is pretty good to be totally honest.
You can’t go wrong with it really.
A micro fibre applicator pad and a couple of large good quality polishing clothes.
DON’T - Use a sponge to wash your car either !.
Contact washing with a low setting on a jet washer first, followed by a snow foam if you want to go the full hit !.
I find the paint on the MG to be a little on the soft side, it can scratch and mark fairly easily.
It really depends on just how far you want to go really !.
Oh ...... Avoid the car wash at your local super market as well.

I’m told the best polish for a black car is;- Meguiars G18211 ultimate.

Meguires ceramic spay wax in the blue bottle.

Thanks for all your replies, so much choice!

Dark colours including black can be a nightmare for swirl marks. These really need professional polishing - or polishing by someone who knows what they are doing. Most cars come new with some swirling to the paint - most people either don‘t notice or find it acceptable. It all depends how far you want to go with your polishing and detailing really.

I also have a black one. I have used MER for many years on motorbikes. Have used it on my 2019 car. This can be used as a wash between polishing. Application to a wet car on a dull day. Applied sparingly on a damp cloth then rub off with a miracle cloth. Sounds difficult but I only do the full polishing twice a year. After that a bucket of soapy water does the job. Not a cheap product which you can get online. Guess you get what you pay for!

 

[Cocijo]

Can you still get the blue bottle of MER?

I have some of this German polish in my garage...

Let me guess it must be an MG ZS EV Black exclusive thing!!

 

[Cocijo]

I like it but I don’t think it’s around anymore.

A neighbour uses a waterless car polish on his car and I'm impressed with the result.

 

[Srp111]

Pro kleen snow foam then g3 resin superwax.
Or autoglym polar and resin wax

 

[Dodger]

I'm thinking of letting the pigeons completely cover the car in crap and see if i can buff that up, i'm fighting a losing battle!
