I find mequires products to 'greasy' feeling. I also hate all the dust that zaino leaves, although I do use their show car polish for car shows....sometimes.

I have ALL the mothers products and use their stuff almost all the time for my weekly washes.

Their carwash soap, claybar, 3 step way, spray on gloss enhancer, mag polish for the muffler tips, back to black for the trim....ect.

The one thing I dont use is tire gloss, never, i just wash the side walls of the tires with soad and water....and let them dry.....sometimes when I drive I need the grip my sidewalls provide!!!!

Hmm, perhaps thinner coats on the zaino, I have found zaino to be the least dusty of any other wax I've tried.

Yeah, I have found meguires to be greasy also, I think they're oil based or something.

Its not that its a lot of dust, its about the same as other wax, but its just a super fine powder and gets into the little spaces and hard to get out. I find myself washing the car, then waxing it, then give it a quick rinse to get the dust off, then buff it dry...super shine!!! :cwm27:

I do like how easy zaino comes off.

I like Vanilla Moose hand glaze then apply Vanilla moose wax!
If more duability is needed I will apply a coat of Collinite 845 insulator wax on top.
If you want a sealant then Klasse or zaino are the two to use.

Zaino, the best I ever used

Klasse is the way to go, especially on black and red,and the darker colors. i even use it on my yellow.

Zymol is the only way to go!! Check out the website if you are truly anal. Also, Griots Garage has amazing products...

I use Poorboys SSR 2 for my polish. Then apply a coat of NXT followed by a coat of Pinnacle Souveran.

Turbo Wax, NXT, or S100/P21S Carnauba

If you were going to buy a buffer what type and make would you buy , also are they hard to use? How long did it take to get use to it ?

Avalonstar 01-08-2006 01:48 PM

Also, where do you guys buy Zanio?

RotaryNoob 01-08-2006 09:18 PM

Buy a porter cable 7424 random orbit polisher and a pad set from http://www.autopia-carcare.com/pcdepot.html.

It's really easy to use. You can't really hurt your paint with it unless you drop it on the car.

I suggest doing some reading on www.autopia.org.

I'm a diehard Zymoler too (smells edible). Keeps the reflections deep on my black 8
A good orbital polisher makes it swirl-free.
I go in between with Zymol Spray Detailer and a detailing sponge.

I've tried them all between 5 cars, nothing works like Zymol!

I usually buy her dinner and a bottle of wine.
