I've heard a lot of good things about that NXT stuff! I guess it's easy to buy over there too! That seems to be a key element in folks' decision to buy car care products.

It isnt a key element but its part of it...

Personally i would like to use zaino on both T/As but the black one is under cover now till she is ready track again... and the white one is in dire need of a wax job... cant seem to find my zaino.

IMO, Zaino looks great on white. The only good thing you're likely to find locally is NXT, which I found to be so-so.

Alot of people like to use a Klasse AIO basecoat topped with either:

Wolfgang twins sealent
Four Star UPP sealent

topped with a good wax such as

S100 wax
Souveran wax

NXT seems to be a new popular product for white as well.

From what I have used, the two above sealents seem to have some of that depth that only a wax can provide so the wax that is layered ontop really brings that feature out.

On white, Zaino is amazing. I have a few coats of Z5 and 2 coats of Z2 and the shine is unbelievable for a white car. When you can look into white paint and see your reflection perfectly, you found a good product, imo! I recommend spending time claying the car though. It makes a big difference in the final result.

I know you are looking for something other than zaino but i don't think there is a product that will be easier to apply and give the same results. If durability is an issue for you, zaino will last a really long time... but i'm sure you know that.

Nice car but you need outside shots, I'm sure it'll look alot deeper.

My recommendation here...

I've heard zaino is really good on light colored cars.

I use NXT on a red car, and am super impressed with it. I haven't seen it on a white car, but it's worth a try I think. It's available at your local auto supply or Target/Wal Mart.
