Default Good Wax

Anyone out there know of a good wax that does not leave all the white residue and get into cracks that it is almost impossible to get out. I have used several great waxes, but still hate the white stuff that is left in those areas.

The only wax that I know of and have used that doesn't leave the white residue is the Turtle Wax Ice. It isn't the best wax out there for protection and shine, but it is the easiest I have ever put on.

Get a good detail brush from a parts store and all the wax will go away.

I agree with turtle wax ice as the easiest to apply and remove, however as was posted it does not last long. On the other hand since it is so easy to apply and remove, it can be done after every wash,
I would also reccommend after washing and drying use a claybar then perhaps a cleaning polish like Meguairs step 2, deep cleaning polish. Once that is complete, then the Turtle Wax Ice works pretty good at maintaining the lusture. At least it does for me.

The stuff one apply's to the painted surfaces of the JK to keep it looking good, and prevent it from rusting, since the sheetmetal is very thin and in alot of cases the painting isn't all that good. But the best defination I can think of is The stuff one apply's to the JK to keep it looking good, which makes the wife happy.
