i'm looking to change the wax i've been using on my 8. i have been using zymol for a while, but i want something that really makes the car shine. what do you folks suggest?

 

if you want to spend the cash, zaino. otherwise i would suggest meguiars NXT or mequiars 3 step (cleaner, polish, carnuba)

 

I've always used turtle wax.

 

Zaino. Amazing stuff.

This thread is going to get moved.

 

i just used Mother's Liquid something. came out quite nicely. isn't a big bottle and cost 18 bucks, but i think it works quite well.

 

I use mothers.

 

i use Meguires Gold Class i love it

 

nxt works wonders applied my first diy wax, came out awesome.

 

i use mothers as well

 

Zaino. I just did my car last week and it looks great! Just wish the orange peel wasn't so bad.

 

meguiars tech wax...it's great! i have over 60 coats on my car....i'll bet you my car is smoother than anyone elses!

it is a little long, but worth the read. It made my decisions easy. Be prepared to devote the day to it.

 

One word - Zaino.

I've previously used Mothers and Mequiars (#5 Glaze and #26 Wax) and recently applied Zaino. While the others are good and provide nice results.....Zaino is definetely a step above.

 

I use Megauires.....~$5 per bottle and you can get it at Walmart.

 

Zaino Z2 Pro gives you great gloss, and you only have to do it twice a year. The durability of that stuff is incredible!

If you want to stick to a carnauba wax, I'd recommend S100. It is so easy to apply and buff off, and the shine is tremendous. It will make your color appear just a smidge darker, if that is to your taste. You need to re-apply S100 (or any other carnauba wax) every other month or so.

 

without a doubt NXT

 

another Zaino vote

 

Zaino without a doubt, I'm a Meguire's NXT convert

 

Zaino, you won't regret it

 

where can i buy zaino? is it sold in a particular store or do you have to buy it online? i would use it myself but i don't have any so maybe someone can point me in the right direction

 

I'm a zaino convert myself. Great stuff!

Can be ordered online only at zainostore.com.

You'll love the results.

 

and the winner is....zaino. thanks everyone.

 

Zymol 'Japon' wax.

 

Klasse is the best product out there, followed by a couple coats of P21s pure carnabu wax. I've found the German's make the best exterior paint products around.

 

NXT all the way
