Well. . .
After hours of researching, I have decided to go with Zaino Bros. car wax on my MM!
Embassy was kind enough to provide me with a distributor not 5 miles from me.
I am meeting Kevin tomorrow to purchase everything needed to get a show car shine out of the beast.
:banana: :banana:
This should be good for a least .40 sec. off the clock. :D
Now, where the hell did I put those leather driving gloves? :rolleyes:

Is it expensive? I use Maguires NXT. Worked great on the (black) Cobra. Whats good for a silver MM?

Yeah....it's a "little" expensive....but the end results are soooooooo worth it!!!
If I remeber correctly, the Zaino kit I ordered was around $100+ dollars. That was last year!

I like to use Collinite's (No. 845) "Insulator Wax".
www.Collinite.com (http://www.Collinite.com)
I was using the Meguir's NXT until I tried the Zaino. (The first week in December)
Nothing I have used in the past last's as long as the Zaino. (FYI, my MM is garaged 4-5 days a week)
The leather treatment is also excellent.

The whole "kit" so to speak, cost me $86.00. Kevin threw in a couple of applicators for the purchase.
I cannot wait until spring. His '02 SS looks great with the Zaino treatment!
What I bought will last for about 14 applications. This includes the clay as well.

You can check on Contour.org soon, they usually get together and do some sort of Group Buy.
The SVT Contour owners have used Zaino extensively and it makes the car's paint finish shine like GLASS...
FYI, they are located in Central New Jersey, for all of the East Coast Members.
Their prodiucts and service have always been First Class...

I have been very happy with Zaino products. If you are just starting out, go full boat and do the clay bar treatment. What a difference. I recently switched to their ZFX additive instead of using Z1 and was very pleased with the time savings and the results. I did up the interior last month with their Z9 & Z10 leather products. So nice. Works great on the vinyl too. Now if they can do something about the rain...

I use both....zaino on my shelby cobra and nxt on the black marauder.
No particualar rationale for which one on which car.
Zaino ... you just need the temps to be above 40 ish so it drys.
NXT for a one step is outstanding
