I like something that goes on and comes off easy, and none of this white residue between cracks. I haven't waxed my car in a while, so I need to find a good one. So far this Zaino and Meguires sound popular. But which Zaino? I just looked at some web site describing, and they have like 5 formulas or "versions".. let me know.

couldn't be farther from the truth .. and you are correct, a lot has to to with personal preference.

the main thing is to pick something of good quality, learn how to use it correctly, then use it.. often.

I have used both Mother's and Meguires and liked the results but I voted Meguires... slightly better than Mother's.

That's because you spell it "Meguiar's".

Found a great little site which has a fantastic collection of different waxes and polishes, complete with all the marketing mumbo jumbo and explanations on each product.

I've used 3M for about the last 10 years. I did get some spray Meguire nxt the other day to try it. So far I'll continue using it as well. I dont think 3m makes a spray detailer or I'd try that as well.

Mequiar's here. I usually go with one coat of their cleaner wax, then 2 light coats of Gold Class. If its been awhile and have some swirls and water spots I might go over it first with some of the professional glaze fine cut cleaner.

zaino.

-easy on and off
-no residue
-very durable and long lasting protection
-almost optically perfect

This is only one coat of z-2 and one of z-5...best part of Zaino is the more coats the better it looks.
