VERY nice. What kind of wax do you use? This is probably another thread somewhere, but just wondering. I use Meguire's products. I really like their wax and quick detail spray. I use the spray in between waxes to keep the shine up.

Anyone have suggestions on what products to use?

Im kinda sketchy about Zaino, its not 100% carnuba from what I hear. No matter what they claim, nothing but 100% carnuba for my car.

In the reflection in the last photo, you look like Jason Biggs from American Pie. Stay away from my apple pie!

Looks very clean. Spend an extra 5 min to blacken the tires. It will look much better than brown tires.

You do realize that that one tub of wax which costs about $2,000 only has like 60% carnauba right?

You do realize that was white carnauba wax??? The common cheaper form is yellow carnauba.
