vinegar is good to get hard water stains off your windows..... IDK if I'd use it on my paint. :/

mothers wax is amazing $7 at wally world, I use it on boats that I detail and it removes a good amount of oxidation so I know that is good wax

I have used every product out there (almost) from turtle wax, to "ice" to meguiars, to Mothers. Zaino beats them all hands down. Get it, it will be the best money you ever spent.

I currently use Zymol Japon. How do the others like Zaino, Menzerna, Enszett compare?

Also, since I already have the Zymol, is there any reason I would not be able to polish first and apply the Zymol afterwards? Will the wax still bond with the residue from the polish?

Zaino works great.

my OBP loves meguiar's #26

Griot's Best in Show wax

I use the claybar with detail spray/speed shine, then the wax

The wax is expensive, but I can go a long time without waxing the car. In between waxing I just use the Griot's speed shine after washing the car.

meguiar's

NXT ( cleaner wax) or S100 (pure carnauba- when I use a sealant first)

luvracn · 05-19-2008, 04:39 PM

collinite insulator wax. it's used for high tension power line insulators. nothing else like it on the planet, very easy to use, shines like nobody's business, and water just sheets off your car for months and months. your car won't even look dirty after driven in the rain. it's like rain x for your whole car. google it.

P21s

Althought, I heard good things about Zymol creame wax (for light coloured cars)

NuFinish. 2 applications within 30 days of each other keeps the water bead'in all year round! Not a bad shine either.

**boxtwo** · 06-03-2008, 10:11 AM

I tried the Meguiars #26 this weekend. Three coats. Not too bad, but I didn't notice much of a difference compared to the Megs Cleaner Wax. It is a LOT easier than my Zymol though. Still think I'll try a few coats of the Zymol Japon when it needs waxed again.

Today I used Zymol cleaner wax followed by Megs Quick Detailer mist. Looks awesome... We'll have to see how long it holds.
