I went with NAPA SS-7716-X @ $73.00. Stopping is about the same. I had about 1500 miles when I changed pads. I had installed NAPA ceramics on the '02 I traded in, so I knew the benefit of having NO brake dust.

Thumbs up Re: Best Wax

I use mostly Adams & Meguire's products.
But, you can get a claybar anywhere; like Pep Boys, Autozone, and and O'Reilly's - no need to order on-line. Just be sure it comes with a wetting agent; our use a "detail spray" to keep it a little moist.

Thanks for this info. could i ask do you think the ceramic last as long as the other brakes or do they wear down just as fast?

Wax is a personal preference. It's like what kind of hard alcohol do you like.


I've probably tested over 150 different products. I've done pre-product testing for more then a few manufacturers. I use different products for different applications (whether the car is covered, stored outside, etc). But the one product I use on my PERSONAL vehicles is P21S

love it
