Default Du Pont Teflon Wax?

Anyone hear of this stuff? I saw it today at Autozone.... says it has teflon in it... Carubana wax with teflon so that almost nothing sticks to it =P


I was gonna get the NXT liquid wax but then saw this and coudlnt decide.... so i went home =P


Any opinions

you mean teflon, the non stick stuff.

id like to give it a try, if it shines well and keeps dirt off then its a winner in my book.

imo turtle platinum wax sucks! i used it and it didnt do that great of a shine or cover up on swirls. Im gonna go back to meg gold glass, it does the trick.

I'm using this wax now. It's ehhh...I don't really like it. It's not as good as the Meguiars stuff I had before. NXT is pretty good..I like it better then the DuPont stuff.

Everytime I see Teflon listed as an ingredient and it's not in the context of cookware, I just cringe. Teflon is a coating that must be baked onto a surface at very high temperatures. It's not something that you're going to spray on your paint and have everything just slide off of it. Afterall, if Teflon is so slippery, what makes it stick to your cars surface???

Bottom line - it's marketing hype, a buzzword.

/\ thats all i needed.... if its crap its not worth it... i rather spend like 10 more bucks and have something good



I assume that the NXT isnt a cleaner wax as 3M™ 39006.... im using that now and am pretty satisfied with the results... but i cant find it anywhere =(

I've never used their wax, but their wheel cleaner is excellent!

NXT is a cleaner wax. It has a very light cleaner in it, not nearly as strong as the red bottled stuff. I've had the very best results with NXT by just using it twice in one sitting. It is very good at filling swirls. In fact, that's my single biggest let down with switching to Zaino from NXT (my car's paint being junk after a Colorado winter and 2 Texas summers outside).
