Zaino Bros is the best in the business. Anyone who says different has never tried Zaino or used Zaino wrong.

That has all you need to know.

Even I will probley say Zaino is the best (although NOT the easiest to use)

But if you want something you can buy down at the store then Meguires Gold Class wax works very well.. for a polish I use a stuff called black ebony <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="gr_stretch.gif" />

Not bad for a wax huh?

Steve... i was a Gold Class junkie <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="gr_stretch.gif" /> I had so much of it on my car it was insane. My paint looked awesome. It is great stuff.

You are right. If you can't use Zaino, use Gold Class.

Actually Zaino is very easy to use. It applies and is removed easier than anything I've ever used before in over 30 years. The only "hard" part is prepping the surface, removing the old wax with Dawn and claying the car. But this should be done regardless of the product you plan to use, the prep work is NOT just a Zaino thing and the prep is basically only done the first time.

This is what I use to clean my paint (remove old wax.. clean up small swirls..

<img src="http://members.aol.com/steven0932/polish.jpg" alt="" />

Couldnt you Zaino junkies use this to strip you car down as well? Over time it really produces a mirror finish.. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="gr_stretch.gif" /> Oh, and is cheap, that big bottle runs $10.. (have to get it a an automotive supply story)

With Zaino, after the initial prep, you apply the polish and remove it when it is dry, how is that more difficult than wax, especially when wax is harder to remove than Zaino is????
