Default Car Wax Question....

I have always used the Mother's 3 step waxing process (prewax cleaner, glaze and seal, then pure carnuba wax) with great satisfaction over the past 10 years. However, I am intrigued by McGuire's Gold (polymer wax) -- they claim it to produce the best shine of any wax they have created. I don't know if I should experiment with a polymer wax or stick with ol' carnuba. Has anyone used this wax and what are your opinions?
Thanks for your input.

Default I'd be very careful about "waiting a day" during the process you describe...

The dust/dirt that accumulates during that time (even if you don't drive it) can cause a lot of scratching when you go to wax.

Default Waxes

Based on my experience
Mothers, Mcguire's produce equal results. Ive used Mcguires high tech yellow paste wax on my nice cars, until i found Blitz by 1 Grand. Goes on super easy, basically falls off when buffing. Very nice application. From what i hear, good durability as well. Stick with non polymer wax in my opinion. Everything i've heard about these types has a negative associated in one way or another. Try the Blitz!

i wash it before i wax again. the day is to let the wax set. a must to do multiple layers.
