I use either Meguiar's NXT (summer) or Collinite 476 (winter). Shine for the summer; protection for the winter.

McGuiars NXT.
I posted pics of today's wax in the multimedia section if you want to see it.
I love that wax.

EDIT: Or you can just check out my garage. They're almost all in there anyway.

I can't seem to say no to Zaino!



I might be experimenting with a "topper" though. Probably P21s S100 carnauba wax. But I have some reservations with how it will react with the Zaino.

Zaino!!!!!!

I got caught in a torential downpour last night. I pulled into my garage expecting it to look bad in the morning. It looked like it was just waxed! I still washed it and another coat of Zaino (Z2). Now it looks AMAZING!

Did you get the more expensive stuff (and if so, where did you get it??) or the cheaper version, which you can get at Wal-Mart, Target, etc.? I hear the less expensive version does not work as well as the more pricey version, although I've never seen the pricey Zymol anywhere.

Markd...I bought it a Autozone. It is blue in colour and cost $13. The car looks awesome. It was a little messy. The entire waxing process took me 4 hours!! But the end result is awesome.

Damn. I just use a generic brand of Carnauba wax from Sears. It sure hella works though. I should wash my car and take some pics.

I bought my 8 one month ago and I waxed it for the first time today with Meguaire's Tech Wax. The stuff was awesome! It was very easy and my black black 8 looks like it was just painted.

Was using Meguiars NXT Tech Wax for about 3 months, recently switched to Zaino. Zaino definetly stays cleaner than the NXT stuff, which gathered dust religiously.

Why not the Auto Glym when they are roughly the same price. They have a few products just for wax, namely the resin polish and a harder high gloss finisher. I am most impress with their cut and polish (paint renovator).

I love to try to Zaino if I can get my hand on those. Not in Ozland although I heard someone is importing it
