Meguiars Yellow Wax # 26 review
#2
#3
I had no reason to use it other than it was in front of me on the store shelf and it caught my attention. I shook the bottle vigorously first [it is liquidy] and I applied a very thin coat with a micro fiber cloth, left it on for 30 minutes and then wiped it off with a fresh micro fiber cloth. Easy on > easy off. I did not use a polish or a clay bar before. I was impressed with the depth of shine that it produced. I have no idea whether its a finish wax or not. That is beyond my knowledge of waxes. Here are 185 positive reviews from Amazon: https://www.amazon.com/Meguiars-Mirr.../dp/B0002SQZR2

The gloss will always look better the following day after the product bonds into the paint surface, and water beading is fantastic.
You will find no disappointments using this product. Another great product for consideration and easy to use is "Blackfire Crystal Polish and Seal".
The Blackfire is one of my favorites when I detail custom or classic cars.

We all have our favourites but I have used just about every wax available (except for a certain Swiss wax - I am obsessive about my cars but I am not dumb enough to pay literally hundreds of dollars for a small jar of wax. The very best I have found, in every way - clarity, depth, durability, ease of application and buffing - is Victoria Wax in either of their formulations; high carnauba content and a mirror finish. I have no affiliation with this company but people ask how I get my car to look the way it does.

I know it sounds odd, but it is pure coincidence, Although it is called Victoria Wax it is made some distance away. Kidding aside, it is a terrific wax, formulated to be smoothed into the paint surface by your bare hand; the heat from your hand melts the wax into the micro scratches...a couple of coats and you are looking at a black (or silver, or green, or red, or blue....) mirror. Because there are no abrasives in it, you can build up coat after coat of crystal-clear gloss. It leaves no chalky residue, it buffs with no pressure, using a microfibre cloth. Really excellent, and particularly effective on dark colours. My Racing Green XK looks fantastic with this wax.
And to repeat, I have nothing to do with this company other than using its product.

Sadly, I don't have an employee discount to share with anyone, including myself. Moving on from that tedious point, the price quoted by a poster above is higher than any I have found and higher than I have ever paid, but much more important is the fact that a 6 oz. jar of this wax will wax your entire car approximately 50 times. So it is effectively INexpensive compared to the more commercial waxes like Meguiars. The reason for this is in the correct method of application: the wax is applied very sparingly and spread by the bare hand and to repeat, it is the heat from the bare hand that melts the wax into the microscratches.
These thin coats can be built up layer upon layer with no loss of clarity but with an increase of gloss with each application.
I use the yellow wax for my (appropriately) Pale Primrose Mk 2 and the red wax (which has an even higher carnauba content) for my XK (Jaguar Racing Green). In either case the shine is unbeatable - actually, it is unmatchable in my experience. And if anyone wants to know what that experience is, I'd be happy to share.
