That "which wax is better line" could go on forever! I just tell people that ask me "just make sure you whatever was you pick often" Key is to keep the car waxed.

Now me I use Ardex products:)

I think the key to a great shine is the prep before you wax. Clay bar the surface after washing to get all impurities. The surface should feel smooth as glass. I've used many "waxes" over the years. Was a huge Zaino fan till '08. Since then it's been Meguiar's NXT.

Tech wax 2.0. Simple to use and the shine is outstanding. Black box is a PITA and the shine don't last as long.

I use Meguiar's NXT after a good prep.

I agree with the clay bar method first, wax alone will not clean the paint like the clay bar.I do it once a year myself and then finish with meguiars wax.

Wash, clay, polish, glaze and polymer instead of wax. I use ReJex polymer. It is serious stuff. I use it on all my glass too.

I was a diehard Zaino fan until trying Croftgate. I still have an application kit with almost full bottles; if interested, I'd sell, PM me.

This is the best IMO. I've tried it all over the years and this is the easiest to put on and take off. I get asked all the time if I've had my car painted and I have not.

I've used this stuff before. It goes on like wax but once it cures it's like getting concrete off. It powders up like crazy and the rubbing is aweful to get it all off. I wouldn't recommend it.

I've never used Zaino but just used the NXT Tech Wax 2.0 applied with a porter-cable buffer last weekend. Comes off easy. Very impressed with it!
