I use zaino mostly. If not I will use meguiars nxt paste, eagle one or mothers. If I wanna keep the car protected for a while, say winter, I will use Blitz wax.

Meguiar's 26 is nice, but I would have to go with Adams Products.

Get Zaino and ignore the rest. Their products rock. No Marketing $'s to promote their product means more $ go into their formulas...and it shows. Nothing else compares.

I beg to differ, for durability I admit Z is #1, for looks though Pinnacle Souveran,Jeffs Werkstatt, and Poorboys Blue Nattys look just as good if not better.

For my opinion look in my sig.

I would have to agree with DarkSti. I use Poorboys Natty's blue myself on my OBP STI. I like the depth Megs 26 gives, but personally love the wet look of Natty's. Pinnacle is also very good but is a bit expensive. You have to remember though, a good wax is not good for anything if the car was not properly prepped for it (full detail with swirl removal IE polish, sealant and glaze then carnuba wax). I can send pictures of my car if you would like, but DarkSTi has many pictures of his wonderfully detailed STi. Good luck!

+1, prep work is key, and in general, the materials you use like microfiber wax applicators, microfiber towels....working in a nice cool shady area.....be prepared to spend a few good hours.
