Waxes: Liquid vs. paste Used zaino and I loved the shine but it's just too much of a pita to get on short notice. I don't mind waxing my car often (it helps me relax actually) so I've switched to mcguire's gold class lately. Love the shine, it's just obviously a little less durable. My question however, is which is better on a black car...paste or liquid wax and why do you prefer one over the other?
Thanks!
Thanks!
Re: Waxes: Liquid vs. paste I like liquid. IMO paste is harder to put on. I too use Gold Class since I don't have extra cash for Zaino. I'm pretty satisfied with the results though.

Re: Waxes: Liquid vs. paste Stick with the Zaino. Most folks when they send in an order get extra supplies and since you pay shipping for each order, minimize the number of orders by getting extra supplies, then you never run out.

Re: Waxes: Liquid vs. paste I prefer Liquid waxes. Less buffing means less chance of ruining your paint. I put a quick coat of Meguires Gold Class on every two weeks from May through November, and I'm in Chicago. The shine never goes away, and I do think I have a pretty thick coat on it by now. If you enjoy waxing, I think that's the way to go. Just my .02

Re: Waxes: Liquid vs. paste I prefer liquid wax products, and just switched from Zaino to 3M products, and i'm pretty darn happy with it. (Uh oh, here come all the flames)
3m is much easier for me to get my hands on, and I love the way it looks after I'm done. I polish and wax my car pretty often too, so even though I'm sure that Zaino may last a little longer, it doesn't matter to me since I re wax every 3 weeks anyway. (and before every car show)

Re: Waxes: Liquid vs. paste I have a black z too... but haven't been able to get my hands on Zaino yet... just out of curiosity, how good do you rate the 3m products? How easy is it to use or do you pretty much need a machine polisher?
Re: Waxes: Liquid vs. paste You don't need a machine polisher for 3M. I use the swirl remover, hand glaze, and liquid wax and do it all by hand. The swirl remover kicks a$$. Best product I've ever used.
Re: Waxes: Liquid vs. paste Dunno how it compares, but that Meguiars stuff is pretty nice! We use the car wash, and wax/polishs @ home, and they work pretty nice. Wouldnt mind getting my hands on some Zaino to try it out tho...

Re: Waxes: Liquid vs. paste Does anyone have a first hand experience of how the 3m compares to Zaino? 3m is a lot easier for me to get here... but on the other hand, I have barely heard anything about how good their products are compared to the number of people that rave about Zaino.
Re: Waxes: Liquid vs. paste pimpmaro-
I switched from Zaino to 3M. that's about as first hand as you can get. Don't get me wrong, I think Zaino is a great product, however, I can drive down the street and get 3M products. So far, I love the shine(just as good as the Zaino in my opinion) and am very happy with their products.
