Best wax for my yaris? - Toyota Yaris Forums

You want to buy 'Black Magic' car wax. It is inexpensive (about $7.00 a bottle) and outperformed almost evry other car wax on the market. It's been rated #1 by Consumer Reports too. I put 2 coats on my car last August, and it is STILL beading up when it rains. It is easy to apply, and very VERY durable. Don't go by price...just because a car wax costs an arm & a leg does NOT make it better. Stick with what CR recommends.

Phew! Static 808, after I wrote my post, I was struck with the notion that you might take offense. I'm so glad you didn't. I have a white Subaru Forester, and that gets dirty faste too. Silver seems to be somewhere in-between. As I said, I like the black and probably would have bought one if they had had a manual with the options I wanted. It was only when I saw the metorite metallice in person that I recongnized how beautiful it was.

hahah, no worries pete! to the other poster's regarding the black magic brand, i havent used their waxes, but their wheel stuff works very well (wheel cleaner and tire shine) and its one of the cheaper brands out there. i use all meguiars stuff, but its because i have a porter cable orbital polisher. since i bought it i might as well use it! one meguiars product that doesnt work well in my experience is their 3-step line. i get good results with their professional series stuff...
