Hey guys,
I have a WRB WRX and I want to make it look extra shiney. I was wondering what the best wax is to get that amazing shine. I dont have a buffer or anything like that (if people still use those i dont know). So i am looking to kind of not put in that much effort either. I dont know if i can get that shine without putting in much effort though. Any help is greatly appreciated. I have seen some pictures of people's cars in here and they shine like none other so i thought i would ask you guys.

I have heard the best stuff is this http://www.zainostore.com/ but it is very expensive and it will take a very long time to do. Don't cheap out though do it right the first time. I will be buying this stuff in another month. I have heard so many people say its the best.

^^ Zaino for the win. Check out pics of my car in my links to see what Zaino can do. And as for being hard, it really isn't. The first time application of any good quality wax or sealent is going to take some time because you do need to claybar and prep the paint finish so that the product doesn't seal in any contaminants. But after you claybar and prep the paint adding coats is easy as applying the Zaino, letting it dry, and then removing it, which takes me about an hour all together. I probably still claybar my car every 6 months or so, or whenever it doesn't feel so baby soft and smooth, but again, the claybar process probably only takes me about 30 mins.

Hey can you give me a link to the zaino kit that you ordered? Someone suggested to get the show kit but I was just wondering which kit you have.

dont restrict yourself to Zaino.
Try:
Poorboys Nattys / Nattys Blue
Trade Secret
Pinnacle Souveran
FK1 Pink Wax

I have been extremely happy with the Menzerna stuff. It lasts a long time and really makes her shine.

Klasse is what I use and it's great stuff. I've also heard some very good things about Sonus, Zaino, P21S, and Menzerna.

I just love Sonus and Rejex with my Porter Cable buffer to speed things up. Autopia.org has the stuff you need.

Zaino - www.zainostore.com
Formula113 - www.formula113.com

both awesome

Nxt is a great wax for two reasons 1) it goes on easy 2)it looks pretty freakin good with minimal effort. However, it doesn't seem to last as long as other waxes I've used.

Mothers gold or whatever never looked very good when I applied it. Maybe I did it wrong or something.

zymol is good stuff, but expensive and a pain in the backside to put on.

Also, your car is an 04 so it probably needs a good clay bar run. This takes some time to do, but you only have to do it every once in a while and it'll make the car look awesome.

I've been sticking with the meguiars Nxt because it fits the amount of time I get to do things like wax the car. I guess its just how my lifestyle is right now.
