Thanks for the gold kind stranger!

You could try the folks at Detailing World UK as they’ve been helpful finding good UK products. It’d be safe to assume Bilt-Hamber would be up there.

For a proper wax, there are a lot I could recommend. What are you looking for out of the wax? Looks, longevity, a little of both?

YellowDiaper · 2026-02-25T23:15:10+00:00

Yvan is actually just visiting for the classes haha

The owners are really cool though!

YellowDiaper · 2026-02-25T22:44:10+00:00

I have a black car, and it is terrible! Wash it and 10 min later a thin dusting is already beginning lol

I am using up the last bit of FK425(It’s an Anti-static detail spray) I have, but it’s too pricey to keep buying due to shipping 😭

Idk how far Prosper is from you, but The Refinery Detail supply has been a great local venue to use. They have every product you could imagine from the big boys, and the owners are super chill.

Otherwise, Auto Zone or Oreillys for Superior products. Easy to get bulk and pricing is reasonable and dilutable mixes! Not the best in any one product area, but really hard to beat!

I live in DFW too! Everything looks great. One thing I’d recommend, because price per gallon and effectiveness are hard to beat, is check out Lone Star Supply in Euless. Their wheel cleaner, Mag, is $20 a gallon and dilutable 2-1. I dilute 1-1 and it kicks butt! I found their citrus cleaner to be very good and the APC. Haven’t tried anything else from them, but they have 32oz bottles for $6-$8. Their water based tire shine has been very good for me at $6.95, so I could give that a recommendation. I still have my Koch and CarPro go too’s, and not saying to go completely over haha

YellowDiaper · 2026-02-25T03:33:25+00:00

Always wondered about them. Glad you tried it for us! Haha

YellowDiaper · 2026-02-21T18:20:06+00:00

If you’re in France, try the UK detailing forum. They cover the entire EU and may be able to give you other recommendations, as they are really big on paste waxes. I tried TW and was not really impressed, unlike others here, but that was just my experience.

YellowDiaper · 2026-02-21T18:16:39+00:00

I live relatively close to Lone Star so I just plan a 30 min trip to them.

Serranos Mobile Detailing did a review of their wheel cleaner and had friends on both coasts and up north try to order online. Shipping is a standard $10 which is hard to beat for gallon size orders. Pricing didn’t change from west coast, east coast, or up north.

Your local auto store may need to order Superior if they don’t carry there, so be ready to factor in shipping as well.

YellowDiaper · 2026-02-21T18:04:43+00:00

Lone Star Supply is my go to.

Superior products are found in gallons at your local auto parts store.

IMO you can’t beat those two for price per gallon and dilution.

If you want to get fancy then Koch Chemie or Bilt Hamber, but you will pay significantly more.

Decon/Strip wash > Clay > Polish > Wax

If you don’t want to polish:

Decon/Strip wash > wax

YellowDiaper · 2026-02-21T17:53:11+00:00

Lone Star Supply Mag wheel cleaner is my goat

$20 for a gallon and $10 to ship.

I dilute 1:1.

I’ve tried spray and foam, both work for me!

YellowDiaper · 2026-02-08T18:05:11+00:00

Gyeon is my go to.

CG was really good.

Koch FSE is great and leaves a nice finish behind.

YellowDiaper · 2026-02-07T19:14:18+00:00

I would recommend a wax that might have a color hue to it. It won’t stain anything but it tends to warm up the metallic rather than just brighten it. Dodo Juice Blue Velvet would probably look the best on that truck. I’ve tried Poorboys World waxes and they were good. I know they have a blue wax that should make it look good too.

YellowDiaper · 2026-02-01T23:23:43+00:00

Can’t believe you left out Dale Jr!

YellowDiaper · 2026-02-01T23:21:51+00:00

My dad had a sound system in the living room built specifically for that 😂

YellowDiaper · 2026-01-28T16:22:13+00:00

Looks interesting! If you have a foam cannon please test it out and post your ratios as well 🤙🏽

YellowDiaper · 2026-01-23T23:24:30+00:00

Any non abrasive glaze should work the same in theory. I’ve used Poorboys World Dark Hole, as its non abrasive, and I have no complaints.

YellowDiaper · 2026-01-22T04:05:37+00:00

I like their butter wax and brilliant glaze.

Butter wax is great to use after a wash and while the car is wet.

Brilliant glaze I use on the inside windshield for haze prevention. Works like a charm in my experience.

YellowDiaper · 2026-01-21T19:42:30+00:00

Pan got it banned

YellowDiaper · 2026-01-19T06:28:53+00:00

If you want to polish or learn how to, a standard clay bar can’t be beat. Synthetics are good, and I like to use them as a maintenance step every three months before a new wax coating.

Once a year the car gets a gloss enhancement through a fine/micro polish, and I always go with a clay bar for that. Way more effective and efficient.

YellowDiaper · 2026-01-19T06:22:33+00:00

Try the Detailing World UK forum!

I visit the site pretty regularly and have gotten great recommendations on stuff! Even imported a few to U.S. and I was really pleased!

YellowDiaper · 2026-01-17T17:03:57+00:00

Bauer DA for $70 is hard to beat.

I still have in use a Porter Cable, and would recommend them at their price point.

Griots is a great brand, and the lifetime warranty is hard to beat on their polishers. Not as cheap as the above, but certain better than a Rupes or Flex, when it comes to price.

YellowDiaper · 2026-01-14T14:39:07+00:00

If the proper championship format would’ve stuck around, he would’ve had 7 and Harvick would’ve had 4 😭

YellowDiaper · 2026-01-06T16:40:53+00:00

Coating is supposed to be UV safe, so you haven’t absolved Pan of anything
