Best wax for our Kona?

I haven't waxed it yet. I'll do it in the next few weeks. Let's hear some feedback.

BlackFire Wet Diamond! It is AMAZING for dark colors... And light colors... And everything between.

Hey Jaybertx,
actually she is a 2003 and I remember the color code came up as trublue.

I think the sonic blue was a bit lighter this one was leaning more on the dark side.

I actually was trying to get another color for my 2012, but i kept seeing all the konas and i finally told the wife, Honey, if i get any other color, i know ill regret it.

And i have to tell ya bro,since pulling the trigger and getting the Kona blue I dont have any regrets to this day

+1 for Blackfire Wet Diamond. I've also topped it with Natty's blue paste wax, but the sealant by itself is fantastic.

Glad to see so many people using Blackfire Wet Diamond. I've been recommending it on these forums for a while now. I found out about it from one of the top detailers on the Autopia car detailing forum. It's also highly rated on their products page.

Hey, jcodestang! Nice pics!

This is off topic... but I just wanted to say that you have superb taste in options.
We have identical Mustangs except for the gears...and I switched from 3.73s to the 3.55s at the last minute.

Very cool.

This year I went with a few coats of Klasse followed by Pinnacle Souverin wax. Only time my car looked this good was after a weeks worth of applying Zaino Z5, Z2 layer after layer.

It's not Kona but Lava Red (I know I know wrong forum) But I *JUST* put a coat of Blackfire Wet Diamond on it... it's dusk here but I put her in the garage for the night and can't wait to get a picture of her in the blazing sun... I think the key to Blackfire is to make sure you spread it very thinly. If you put too much on you end up scrubbing for no good reason.

Dang Overboost, your stang always makes me green with envy

Online only most likely. Look for Blackfire Wet Diamond All Finish Paint Protection. It's a synthetic sealant. Give your car a good wash and clay first.
