Last year I wrote an article talking about all the things I like about Meguiar’s Deep Crystal Carnauba Wax<\/a>. It was my favorite car wax at the time. I haven’t changed my mind – it’s still an awesome car wax – specially for the price. But I do have a new favorite.<\/p>\n Fast forward at few months and I found myself at SEMA in Las Vegas. I visited the Meguiar’s booth and spoke to a gentleman there by the name of Mike. He’s been with the company for more than 25 years. I told Mike how much I liked Deep Crystal Carnauba and the reasons why. I presented him with solid question, “Knowing why I like Deep Crystal Carnauba so much, what do you have that I might like better?”<\/p>\n Mike then suggested Meguiar’s Gold Class Carnauba Plus Premium Wax and Meguiar’s Ultimate Wax<\/a>. Gold Class being natural carnauba wax and Ultimate being synthetic polymer. Let’s focus on the Gold Class Carnauba Plus because it’s the closest to the Deep Crystal I have been using and it’s also natural carnauba wax rather than a synthetic paint sealant.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Since then, I’ve used Meguiar’s Gold Class on my NC Miata<\/a> all the way until I sold it, on my NA Miata<\/a>, Toyota Tacoma and black VW GTI. I’ve been using both the premium liquid wax that comes in a 16oz bottle as well as the 11oz tin Gold Class paste wax. I usually prefer liquid waxes, but only because I find them easier and quicker to work with. When I’m feeling inspired I’ll reach for the tin of paste wax. I can’t really say one is better than the other – It’s just personal preference. But paste wax is cooler, just so you know.<\/p>\n The thing about Meguiar’s Gold Class Carnauba Wax is that it’s more advanced than the older style Deep Crystal. I found them both just as easy to work with. Both are just as easy to apply and remove – which is hugely important for me because I like to wax often. The Gold Class wax is just better. Meguiar’s does market it as a better wax and aims it at pros and enthusiasts that also like to apply wax with a dual action polisher.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n On my small cars I prefer to apply it by hand although I have used a Porter Cable DA to apply it. On the truck, I prefer to use the DA polisher to make the job quicker. Another thing to note is that while I have used Meg’s Gold Class wax on my truck often, this one usually sees the Meguiar’s Ultimate synthetic. The truck sleeps outside under a car port so I prefer using the more durable synthetic there.<\/p>\n The thing I like the most about Meguiar’s Gold Class Carnauba Wax is the way it looks. It’s clearly a wax designed to offer the deepest paint looks and a very silky waxed surface. I love it when I wax a car with it every two weeks and the time comes to wash it instead of a quick detail. Dirt just glides right off. Also, you can feel the surface is clearly slick even when running your hand over the soapy car in the middle of a wash. Truly awesome.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Now the best part is this. The difference between standard Meguiar’s products such a the regular red Meg’s Quik Wax and the black Ultimate Quik Wax<\/a> is usually twice the price. With Gold Class Wax it’s a little different – better. Meg’s Deep Crystal and Gold Class Carnauba are roughly the same price. Gold Class being maybe $2 more for the same 16oz bottle. The Gold Class Carnauba does come with its own applicator where the Deep Crystal does not. So you do get more for your money.<\/p>\n I wouldn’t hesitate using Deep Crystal Carnauba at any time, it’s still an awesome wax. But given the choice, I’ll go for Gold Class – specially knowing it’s not really going to cost me that much more.<\/p>\n For your convenience, you can order Meguiar’s Gold Class Carnauba Plus Liquid Wax in the 16oz bottle from Amazon.
