How long should I wait to wax a new Tundra?
What's the best wax to use?

Thanks!

I personally like the results I get from Zaino products, from the claybar to the polish. It seems to last much longer than other products.

Got my silver Tacoma last month, it was built on the 14th, and I picked it up 3 days later, I claybarred it and waxed it the day I picked it up.

Used Mothers clay bay and Mothers new F/X wax, turned out great.

It's being said that modern finishes don't need the two or three month curing time that older automotive finishes needed.

Best wax? How much work do you want to put in for that shine? For least work and very good, long lasting shine, I like Meguiar's NXT wax. Clean with a clay bar if needed and polish first.

Zaino.

I use it on my 2002 SS and I highly recommend it. It will go on the Tundra as soon as I get it home.

Griots all the way. Easy to use and smells good!

Good Stuff. I used to use Zaino but I'll sacrifice a little bit of shine for the time, lol!

3M Imperial Hand Glaze (recommended by a lot of detailers and classic car/motorcycle enthusiasts.)

Zaino: Great shine and lasts a L O N G time.

Another Zaino nut here. It really doesn't take that much time and it lasts and lasts! It goes on so easy...

I have used Griot's and many others as well. For me it's Zaino hands down.

Love the Zaino products but recently tried Rejex. Even easier to apply than the Zaino with same high gloss. Still use the Zaino Detail spray.

Richard and Co. just came out with a "paint sealer" and a "spray wax" which is supposed to be geared more toward the daily driver who uses auto car washes etc. True, the "Best of Show Wax" can be a pain-even with the Porter Cable, but man my truck looks fantastic. I have even had people accuse me of repainting it. (I'm talking about my '94 Z71, not my Tundra) I'm a Griot's fan, but you need to take a second mortgage to afford everything and have it shipped.
I ordered the paint sealer and spray wax kits. I just bought the Tundra last week so as soon as it gets nice.......For now the Tundra stays in the garage and the Chev gets mule duty. Hey wanna buy a Chev? (Didn't think so)
