edit: forgot about the 3 step, if you have the patience for it

Metallman56 · 03-28-2006, 11:22 AM

what about mothers?

traingeek087 · 03-28-2006, 11:33 AM

meguiars by far. i have found practically all of their products work well in comparison to other products. only product i was unhappy with was the scratch X, but the cay bar was so outstading it makes up for what the scratch X lacked.

Metallman56 · 03-28-2006, 11:55 AM

i agree about the scrath x, that doesnt work at all.

thecollegekid · 03-28-2006, 12:32 PM

Scratch X will take out very fine scratches but if u're expecting a huge difference it will not make you happy. My favorite wax, since I have a black car, is the new line from Turtle Wax that is color specific. Most of the time I found there was a slight haze left over on the car that would come out with a microfibre towel. With the color specific wax, I get no haze and beautiful shine. It also comes with some b.s. chip filler, lipstick thing but that's crap. Pay no attention to it. My $.02

Metallman56 · 03-28-2006, 12:35 PM

have you or anyone else tried the new turtle wax ice i think its called? its $16 for a bottle at wal-mart i havent picked it up yet. also i used to HATE turtle wax, but here in the last year or so i think they have really picked up there pace. infact there $5 a can tire shine is one of my favs. i wouldnt have bought it if it wasnt on sale, but i am glad i did.

Zaino. End of discussion.

Scratch-X works well for minor imperfections, but you can't Zaino over it.

Metallman56 · 03-28-2006, 12:44 PM

^^lets say i didnt have time to order off line, then what would i get?

Mother's three step is really good, but it's a conventional carnuba based wax so it can change the colour of your paint a bit (espeially with red) Plus, it's extremely labour intensive.

I've heard Meguire's is pretty good along with Zymol.

Zaino really is worth the wait to order it. It's almost effortless to use and it outshines anything I've ever used.

Metallman56 · 03-28-2006, 12:52 PM

i get ya i have used zanio swirl remover and i was more then impressed. i was just throwing that out there to get you to say what else you like. carnuba wax can change the color of my paint? i didnt know that. is it true also that in 30 day 50% of the wax is already off the car?

alero14 · 03-28-2006, 01:06 PM

Jax Wax

Metallman56 · 03-28-2006, 01:08 PM

wtf is that?

edit: sorry didnt mean to sound negitive but i have never heard of that. do u have a link or something?

SkiZZor · 03-28-2006, 01:39 PM

Meguiars Gold Class works very well, and is probably my favorite. I just bought Meguiars NXT wax and am yet to try it yet.

coupe · 03-28-2006, 01:53 PM

zymol hands down

Metallman56 · 03-28-2006, 01:58 PM

zymbol is great stuff. i saw it bring red out of my dads big work truck cab. it was the differnce of night and day. the neihboor came over and asked him what he was using.

i love the turtle wax wheel polish, and ive used a few other product of their's here and there. i actually have to pick up wax for thursday so what the hell, ill get a bottle of that ice stuff and give it a try.

Panacea · 03-28-2006, 03:07 PM

Zymol is second best to Zaino. Though Zaino is the king.
