Default Best wax for a truck

While sweating in the 70 percent Arkansas humidity, listening to The Best of Tim McGraw Volume 1 on the CD player, and waxing my four-wheeler I got to wondering: what is the best wax for a truck? I use Maguires Cleaner Wax on my but could that same stuff be used on a big rig? :?

yeah you can used it on a big truck. But to do it right you have to used the 3 step wax. But that takes a long time. So cleaner wax will do just fine.

Default I use Black Magic

I remember reading a article last year about waxes on consumer reports. I couldn't find the exact article but here a article talking about it. Black Magic isn't very expensive and can be bought at any wally world for about 6 bucks.

I used the Nu-Polish at Wal-Mart for 8 bucks. I have a 1985 FLC, and the paint job on it was very old, paint fading real bad, and some chipping as well.

I saw the Nu-Polish and thought I would give it a shot, MAN WAS I SHOCKED!! It really brought the paint back to life, not looking like a brand new paint job, but it put some shine back in it.

I bought the liquid type, and had my Truck done in 1 1/2 hour. It is easy to apply and easy to get off as well.

I just started using Turtle Wax Ice on my cars and love it . It comes off easy and leaves no white residue anywhere. The only downside that I have seen is that on light colors it is hard to see where it is at so you can take it off
