I might try one of the sprays after each wash to help maintain the finish. Like I said, the Meguairs 3-step seems to last a really long time.

Klasse Twins. I've tried NXT, Rejex, and a few other over the counter waxes, and Klasse kills them all. Best of all, Klasse is acrylic and does not contain silicones.

Klasse AIO (all in one) is a cleaner, light polish and a light sealer. Do this once/twice after a clay.
Klasse SG (sealant glaze) is a sealer which also acts somewhat like a glaze, so with every coat your car *pops* a bit more.

If you do this, and use 2-3 coats of SG on top, you'll get 6 months out of it (in the summer at least). I made it through winter here in PA/DE on one application w/ 2 coats of SG. If you guys are interested I'll post some links on application tips. You can also use diluted SG as a quick detailer in between applications.

Ok, I don't want to hijack Stargazer's thread (and it might be too late), so here are links. It takes some practice to get the SG off (it took me about 1/4 of the roof until I realized you really can't have too little SG.) A good trick is to use a light solution of distilled water and SG in a spray bottle to moisten the SG applicator.

Search on autopia.org for other application techniques, but it is worth it. I bought the applicators that Autopia-carcare.com suggested (and a few others) and it's working great. Cheaper than Zaino and I'm happy w/ it

Out of the products listed on that CR article, I'd use Eagle1 before the others. I use the quick detailer sometimes and it's great, the nano wax is supposed to be great too. I have black magic tire shine and I'm not thrilled, I'm sure the wax is different, but CR has been known to favor certain products that aren't better.

again, sorry Stargazer. Back to the awesome photo skills and a car that shines like crazy.

I was bored this afternoon and since it was raining I couldn't wash to car, so I just took new pictures of the Auto Taser in action. These photos are un-retouched except for resizing:

wundej · 07-14-2006, 08:30 PM

That thing is so awesome, and it's fitting that you have the

air freshener right above it in the picture. I wouldn't want to be the guy that gets caught touching that.

My only guess would be to hope that someone was selling one off e-bay. Years ago there were some places that still had stock after it was discontinued but I don't know if any do now.

When I switched vehicles I asked Taser International if they even had just any more of the window warning stickers but they didn't so I had to have them custom made on my own.
