Post Meguires Gold Class vs Turtle Wax

I have been using Meguires Gold Class since i bought my Z. But im just about out of it, but i do have a full container of turtle wax. The turtle says it supose to last like 12 months. IS turtle wax that good of a wax? Fbody quality? I dont want to be stooping down to a lower level of wax quality just to save some time, money.

This is just my opinion, but Turtle Wax is about the lowest quality wax available. It's not what serious detailers would ever use on their own cars. That being said, I'd NEVER let that stuff touch my paint. There's no way on Earth that TW would last 12 months on 1 application. Do yourself a favor and just buy more GC or Medallion, and save the Turtle Wax for a beater.

I agree with the other guys...Turtle Wax sucks in my opinion. My dad used to use it. I've used Gold Class from day one...and I love it.

As far as wax goes, use Gold Class. Turtle wax is worthless. Back in my waxing days, all I used was gold class. I still use it on clients cars and they love it!
