Question Help! Whats the best 'in store' wax?

I'm a zaino nut, and I normally don't use anything else.

BUT I have to wax my car in the next few days, and I just realized I'm all out of zaino . What's the best stuff I can buy at target, autozone, kmart, etc, etc? Basically something I can pick up off a shelf.

Long term quality isn't a high priority, as I have more Zaino on the way.

Thanks for the in the right direction!

I've used Meguiar's Gold Class myself and it gives the G a nice shine even if I haven't waxed in 6mo. I hear Meguiars NXT is good stuff as well but it's just a few dollars more than the Gold Class. Hope this helps...

Go to your local NAPA and see if they have Meguiar's #21 synthetic sealant or #20 polymer sealant, both come in the beige bottles from the professional line. Those are arguably meg's best sealants, and last 3-6 months from personal experience. If those are unavailable, pick up some NXT like Ahero said, its their best product from their consumer line. If you want something with carnuaba in it, Meg's #26 high tech yellow wax is also a great product with slightly less durability

i personally love the eagle one nano wax...gives a nice deep shine and IMO fills in the swirls a lot better. i have both nxt and eagle one and prefer the eagle one

I like the turtle wax ice after a clay bar treatment. Easy and suuuper versitle hot in direct sunlight and no residue in all the crevaces. Meguirs has some nice products as well.
