Default So what's the wax of choice for harsh winters?

I love Blitz Grand wax but I know it doesn't last very long during the winter months.

I was waxing my car today, just thinking about what I can do to protect the front end of my car. I'm thinking something durable, along the lines of a synthetic wax.

I could do a search, but I know with this forum that the wax of the month is constantly changing.

Default Interesting, that stuff is pricey.

But I'll give it a try. All the reviews seem good.

$40 for 16 oz
$50 for 32 oz

The 32 oz doesn't come with the applicator/towel. Do I really need them? I always wax by hand. It just seems economical to buy the 32 oz for $10 more.

You'll probably waste less product waxing by PC instead. To each their own, though

Not only that, but you can do the car about 8 times with a 16oz bottle.
