Default Pls recommend a non-abrasive wax

I have an '02 and do not need a polishing wax, as I garage my car. I have been using a carnuba wax called Malm's which contains no abrasives. I would like to switch to one that was easier to buff off though. Any suggestions? Everyone seems to love Zanio but I think they all contain abrasives.

Thanks!

3m wax is good, gold class has mild polishers, but it is not a cleaner wax, pinnicle sovueran is also a good wax, but mind you its very pricey! go check out www.autopia-carcare.com and www.proper-autocare.com for more info

P21S is awesome and is also available as S100 from Harley Davidson dealers. The former lists for 25 and the latter 15. EZ on/off and no residue on trim. Looks better than Zaino when new (according to the guru reports folks) and then experiences the usual natural wax slow fade over the next 2-3 months. For older finishes an undercoat of 3M imperial hand glaze works wonders filling swirls and adding zing.

Just about anything out there that says it is not a polish has no abrasives in it. A good polymer or carnuba wax is good.

zaino does not contain any abrasives. it is easy to apply and requires no porter cable to remove. very easy to use - the more you use the better reflection and more protection you get.

I'll second the zaino being non-abrasive. Absolutely none in the line - except for the glass and plastic polish - and they are item specific and not intended for anything even resembling paint.

easy on - easy off - no machine - great durability and shine - and protection from sun with UV40 . .blah blah blah . . . sorry for the commercial, but we all have opinions . . .

Try RaceGlaze, it is THEE easiest to apply and remove. It gives an awesome finish and you don't have to wait so long between coats. Just buff to a haze and wipe off, no waiting necessary.

Currently, I use Klasse which lasts much longer but it takes a bit more effort to remove in comparison. You actually have to buff it off. The RaceGlaze on the other hand is a wipe on, wipe off application, very little physical activity required..
