meguiars has several different types of 3-4 stage stuff that is as good or better than Zaino for MUCH less than Zaino costs.... NXT isnt all that they make

the cheap zymol stuff is good for me. It seems easier to take off then meguiars step three wax. I like how it dries in seconds. You must have been in the sun or put it on right after you drove it cause no wax is that hard to get off..

Another vote here for Zaino - it's worth the extra dough! I've used Zymol and it looks nice but too hard to get off the car, just not worth it.

I like my Menzerna IP/FP followed by Meguiar's #21 pure carnauba. It looks great and lasts a good amount of time. Everyone has been ranting and raving about NXT but it never lasted even remotely long enough for me, although it does look great. I did recently just pick up another bottle of it to try out. I just fully detailed the car and used NXT and put it under cover for a while as I moved across the country, but we'll see how long it lasts this go around. How it looks all in the prep, but how long it lasts is all in the quality of the wax/sealant. My next purchase will be some type of sealant as I have yet to use one (although NXT is considered more of a sealant than a wax).

I'll see that and raise you this....

done with zymol. Yes it is a pain in the butt to remove but I think it works well for the price. I like NXT, but it just does not last long enough.

All these reflection pics in the shade or setting sun are great, but any car can look like that in the shade with a simple wash and clay bar with no polish/wax/sealant on it at all. Direct sunlight never lies.

i never drive around then wax a car b/c you just got dust, dirt, and a bunch of **** on it. i waxed it in the garage and then put it out in the sun after i was done taking it off. another bad thing is it leaves white powder everywhere i thought my car was on coke

No no, like sun directly reflecting off the paint and into the camera, kinda like in Disturbed's 2nd pic.

Another vote for Menzerna IP/FP / FMJ combo. Even more critical is halogen lights on a paint. I had the paint on my wifes black Saab as perfect as I could get and with a halogen light, I could actually tell where there were light and heavy sprays from the factory. But, I didn't see anymore swirls.



That's with flourescent lights, which are pretty accurate on showing the quality of the paint. Obviously, I'm kneeling taking a picture of the t/a reflecting int he door of her car. I agree that the prep is critical. I spend hours doing the intensive polish.

Megs 21 is a good product. IMO Zaino is in a leaque of it's own-especially CS.
