Default Long Haul Truck Wax?

Saw an ad for this stuff in Popular Science today. Lotta stores seem to carry it, anyone tried it yet? I don't need show car quality or anything, just for the tow vehicle/daily driver truck. Any opinions?

They are the same products as Race Glaze.

Know anything about this new Dupont Teflon stuff? I really wish every now and again something new would come out in polishes that isn't a gimmick.

Teflon wax is a gimmick.

What are you using now?

Put a coat of NuFinish on it when I first got it just to get something on it since it was laying around and went on quick. Honestly I haven't polished it in about a year now, I know I know lol. That's my main thing, is that I want it to look respectable (and frankly it still does) but I want minimal maintenance, so a long lasting polish that goes on quick would be very nice.

Zaino and Klasse are the longest lasting products out there.

Yeah, I have some Zaino sitting around for use on my 'bird when it's done. Both those take forever to apply though! I'd like one application if at all possible. I work slowly lol.

One coat of Zaino shouldn't take any longer than one coat of anything else. Klasse is a little tougher to remove.

The only thing I know about the Long Haul stuff is that their cardboard ad in Truckin' magazine was right in the middle of a two page spread.

I like my liquid glass. Goes on and off real easy and made for a very slick finish.
