I bought the wax free ring and it is a great, simple to use, and mess free product. I highly recommend it. That being said, we did have to use a wax ring on one of the four toilets we installed because the tile floors in our house are an obvious DIY job by the previous owners, and they were too uneven in the master bathroom to use anything but a regular wax ring. I bought bolts, but didn't need them because the bolts in place were still usable. The toilets don't come with a toilet seat, but I preferred it that way because I was always going to buy the Bemis toilet seat with the child's potty traing seat built in (we've got toddler twins and it's a great toilet seat for anyone with small children).

We used a standard reinforced wax ring but I understand other users have gone with the new foam ring and have had good luck. It comes with all the hardware and was pretty easy to install. We are glad we made this choice rather than going with a standard big box toilet. Easy to clean - two flush options (press lightly for a smaller flush and hold down for more water flush)...came packed really carefully. We also bought the no slam seat. A little more pricy but cleans easily and fits beautifully. We've changed all three toilets in our house to the Toto! Yvonne B

We purchased a standard wax ring, if I recall correctly, and it works fine. Otherwise, yes, it does come with all needed hardware. By the way, we're delighted with the flush, the preset water level, the full porcelainizing of the entire toilet, and everything else about this product. We purchased it for about $240 plus $45 shipping (not $85). I don't have the paperwork handy, but check not only Amazon but the web for better shipping costs. Good luck.

I looked through Amazon's wax rings but didn't see the one I used. I did use a thicker than usual wax ring and it worked perfectly. I decided on this by speaking to several people who were familiar with this toilet. Right? Wrong? It worked. Just... letting you know I am not a pro, and just passing on what I heard and how it worked. Ask around at one of the big boxes or standard hardware stores for the thicker wax ring, and heck, ask them while you are at it. (A lot of anti-foreign stuff going on, so... watch for that too, a bit... grain of salt and all. I just tell them that our unions are why I have gone foreign... even to my vehicles.)

Colleen, Buy this kit it works great. Depending on what state the finish of your car is in, I might suggest you stop by an Auto store and get a liquid polish instead of a wax (the polish finish will last longer) and a couple of good polishing cloths. It's simple to use, but make sure you use a corded drill and not a battery powered drill as the battery power don't usually have the spin speed to maximize the operation.

No, I didn't use one. A good microfiber pad/towel is the best at buffing the wax out. That first over buffing towels if by hand. The only problem I had was knowing if I got all the wax off. White wax dried on a white car Do much more smaller sections at the time to make sure you got it all off

I did invest in the little Parissa wax warmer and I love it. It heats the wax evenly within 30 minutes, and it brings the wax to the right consistency. I have used the little pan of wax placed in another pan over low heat, but I found it gets messy and I got wax in the other pan. Much easier to do the wax warmer. So convenient. Good luck!

The wax ring, bolts and seat are included if you buy this combo at your local Home Depot - and it's only $149.You'd have to re-use the water supply line if it's long enough since the new tank sits higher or buy a new longer one.

I bought unscented wax to replace the scented wax that was lost through continued use. Any wax works with this unit.

I apply wax by hand and use the AutoSpa to remove and polish. I have used it for applying wax, but gets the head full of wax and you cant remove it to clean.

Yes most definitely I have a detail shop and I have one it's the best for applying wax and removing it!! Great all around its variable speed Which is very nice

No wax ring came with this unit however my plumber simply used a standard ring on his truck.

My order did not include a wax ring, so I ordered a Fernco FTS-3 wax free ring that works great with no sticky wax.

I don't know. The 7500 worked great for me. It is the only waxless I will use. Wax rings - especially the ones with the built in cone - are crap and cause other problems. JP

No, you have to order it seperately, and it didnt even work for us. We ended up buying a regular wax ring, which worked perfectly.

It will attach to your existing flange. , no wax ring , it takes a rubber gasket ! Toilet I recommend the toilet . Easy install . Seats a little cheap but other wise great product !

The wax is very very good. I don'tt know if you need something to get it off but im so impressed when it's on! Try it you'll love it!

I don't really think it is necessary unless the finish is really bad. I have a 02 and it looks great after waxing.

You don't need wax. The end of the didge is shaped for your mouth. It worked for me, but some people may prefer to custom-fit it more comfortably with beeswax. So just try it first, it should work without wax.

This is better than a wax ring in several important ways. The best feature in my opinion is that it can be re-positioned as often as desired. With a wax ring, you get one go at it. If you somehow mess up the toilet alignment, or need to take up the toilet or even adjust it---to square it up with the wall, you will destroy the wax seal. Wax does not "bounce back" once it is squished. This will bounce back to shape as often as you pick it up and put it back down. For a novice or DIY, that feature alone is invaluable. Another great feature is that it does not make a sticky mess on the horn of the toilet or the floor toilet flange when you eventually do pull it apart. It is much more like a rubber gasket than a glob of wax. I will never use wax again.
