Any of you ever use wax with color added? I have an older John Deere that when I bought it used the guy had waxed it with some green tinted wax. I'd like to do that again but am having trouble finding it.
Thanks
Jim

Can’t see the benefit. Wax removes oxidized paint through heat and abrasives, then you wipe it off. Unless it helps blend in what you don’t wipe off? 😆

You may be thinking of a polish or cutting compound. Straight wax goes on and, after buffing, a thin film is left behind, protecting the paint and making it look shiny. FWIW I have used a tinted wax, which had the effect of minimising the "bush pinstriping" on the vehicle. It did work, though the effect was of course only temporary. It has been a while though.

Wrong, wax may leave a protective coating but it polishes the same way as buffing compound. The abrasives just aren’t as coarse. Polishing compounds also leave a coating, they just may not have any UV protection

Straight wax (carnauba or synthetic) doesn't contain abrasive. It bonds to the paint and protects it, leaving a thin protective layer.

That’s why when you wax a single stage paint the color color comes off on your rag? Whatever, I’ve never done this before. 😆 You win. I’m out

I use black wax on my pickup twice a year. It fills brush pin stripes well. Not sure it works any better at protecting the paint better than others. My pickup is 2008 and still looks good.

Hell, I am just impressed that you got an argument about wax.
These are my opinions, feel free to disagree.
