I picked "other". Zaino is my favorite out of all the waxes/polishes/whatevers I've tried.

Used to use PINK WAX but found DUPONT LIQUID WAX far superior to even Mothers carnuba wax in a can . This **** REALLY works on pewter paint !

Consumer Reports July 06' gave Black Magic Wet Shine Liquid Wax their (CR Best Buy) mark.

Their Top 3 Liquids (score out of 100) were: Black Magic Wet Shine Liquid Wax(84) $7.....Turtle Wax Carnauba Car Wax T-6 (84) $7.....and Eagle One Nanowax(75) $12

The 4 Pastes in order rated were (also out of 100): Nu Finish NFP-80 (71) $8.....Turtle Wax Platinum Series Ultra Gloss T-411R (67) $9.....P21S Concours-Look Carnauba Wax (61) $32.....and Meguiar's NXT Generation Tech Wax Paste (50) $15

I tried the Black Magic and I think that is works great. I apply by Porter Cable D/A, and the obvious hard to reach areas with applicator sponge and remove with one wet and one dry microfiber towel.

Sorry for the long post Just my 2 cents

Am I wrong to assume that different waxes and sealants look better/worse on different colors?
I have a Black T/A that's only been waxed once in 18 months!!
Which ones really make black look nice?

Edit: I can't believe I admitted that

by the way, if you use the clay bar with the 3m wax you will be amazed at how easy the wax is to remove(any brand wax)
