Bright sunlight pics are going to tell the difference between a good wax and a crappy one. A car can look reflective as hell after just a clay bar when the sun's only striking dimly at an angle, or it's in the shade.

I (like many others) have tried damn near every wax out there over the years, but I started using CarBrite's "Easy Off" carnauba wax and won't look back. Anyone else using this product?

I actually have a can of that stuff... works pretty good! Although nothing tops the Chemical Guys 5050 that Ive used.

Here is how you tell if youve done a good job removing swirls.... dual halogen lights before and after.

Before:



After, without wax, only polish:



After, in the sun, with wax:

DP Premium Surface Shield Paint Sealant
Then a top coat of Pinnacle Liquid Souveran Wax

Looks amazing especially on darker cars.

Zaino is not a wax.


I prefer Zaino. Its a longer process, but the optical results are just stunning. Slapping on a wax and sealant is quick and easy. Zaino also goes on and off easy, but with a little more time and more coats, the results are superior. As far as wax goes, the Megs line has several good ones.

Recently did my motorcycle with NXT paste and it looked and felt very nice. Although outside in the summer heat it lasted only about a month. It still beads, but it doesn't feel smooth.
