I use Meguiers for the price and results are pretty good. Zaino is too much for me. Maybe one day.

Not really much of a Zaino fan. Not much depth.


I use Victoria's Concours Red on my black WS.6.
I use RejeX on the daily drivers.



Prima polishes.

i think turtle wax products are the best...i have both mothers and turtle wax and it seems like turtle wax is 100% better. it removed lots of minor scratches...
(Turtle Wax Scratch and Swirl Remover)
also Turtle Wax "Zip Wax" washes your car and doesnt take the wax off that much...

I am okay with Mother's.
I would be okay using Meguiars.

I will NEVER use Turtle Wax products on my car....ever.

For the most part, if I can buy it at AutoZone...I don't use it.

I have seen the ICE products used.
They will never get used on my paint/clear.


We all have what we like though. If it works for you, use it!

After every wash I use the Ice spray wax and it seems to work really good.

I use Adams products. I've used Turtle wax Ice before, it's easy to use, but I prefer the shine from Adams, it lasts longer, and looks better longer. A buddy of mine here locally swears by Zaino, and uses it for his detail jobs, but he was impressed by the Adams stuff on my car.

I used Zaino on my 2000 WS6 for years, I now use Mothers and it looks so much better now, the Zaino left the paint cloudy and dull after years, I switched to Mothers and now the paint is deep and dark like it was just sprayed....

I would more than happily put my process up against anything with Zaino...
