Default Wax On, Wax Off

Now that I've cleaned the shop dust off the Silver Bullet, I'd like all your opinions about what products you like to wax your cars. Got a hot-rodder next door who gave me some wax -- says it the best to use. Think it's called "Z Best." Appreciate all your opinions.

Cheers,
Steve

Steve, try the new Meguiar's Tech Wax. Easy on, easy off, no dust, and slicker'n s*it on a door knob. Also much less $$$ than Zaino Bros. You can get it in either liquid or paste at your local friendly Checker Auto Parts-aria without having to wait to get it through the mail. That's my 2˘.

I have used Meguiars in the past with amazing results, But a Corvette guy down the street kept telling me about Zaino. I finally took the plunge and bought a " show car kit polishing kit" from Zaino bros. The results are much better than Megiuars { for me and I will still use Meguiars for all of my other cars}, however it is expensive at $90 for the show car set.

Jeff, did you try the Tech Wax? It's much better than the other Meguiar's I've used. They were good, but this stuff is super. Another 2˘

From Gurue Reports:

"Zaino is the only product to obtain an A- rating by gurue reports. The top 5 are:

Zaino A- GPA 3.53
P21 Concurs look Carnauba B+ 3.18
Klasse All in One & sealant Glaze B 2.94
Armour All Protective Barrier B- 2.73
Pinnacle Souveran Carnauba B- 2.60

Lowest of the 41 tested had a score of 1.00 D "

Have started the Zaino process, looking good,

Zaino seems to love dust...

Some of the exotic waxes are hard to come by here (unless you like to pay
excessive shipping costs) but the Meguiars Tech wax is here and is great -
easy on and off and adds a lot of depth to the shine.
