So what's a good product to use on chrome plated items?? I had my Moroso tanks/covers plated and they are a pain to keep clean. I may try some wheel wax and see how that works.

Not sure if this has been asked before but do colored waxes make a differance? I have a Redfire gt and was looking at dodo juice orange crush but not sure if my money is better spent on other waxes.

not at all
you are waxing clear coat not paint. They're a gimic. Just buy a quality wax and you are set. Typically if you can buy it at pep boys you don't want it. Try a site like detailed image or detailers domain.

colored waxes are a waste :D The best waxes contain #1 White Carnauba and have a hefty price tag to go with it. Your better boutique waxes are typically refined Ivory waxes.

High content Yellow Waxes (Zymol Concours, Swissvax Concorso) are also steps up from the $50 wax category.

Carbon lasts longer and looks wetter. P21S 100% has a glow to it.

I like Carbon.

Thanks bro. Im going to try one of the $50ish ones on my black GT in the next week or so but if I dont like them, Im going to purchase Zymol Glasur. Would that be your next step? I think I wont go above $150.

Dude, this is pretty awesome. Is there one of the $50-$100 and one of the $100-$200 that you would recommend for a black Mustang?
