Wax On Wax Off

I've owned a number of cars with a number of paint jobs and love to keep my car clean. Even in the Winter, you can catch me at the car wash doing the self wash and hand dry thing. Well the other day I decided to wax my G35. I went to Advanced Autoparts and decided to try the Meguiars Tech Wax.
Well lets just say I waxed my car on Saturday and it is Tuesday and after driving around the city and to and from work even my rims are still shinning. I swear this is one of the best waxes that I've used on my car. What do you think is the best wax?

i highly recommend it, specially if you have a dark car, now it doesnt really last as long as zaino but it gives the car the wettest, slickest look, gotta remember though its all in the prep



^^^ waxed with s100

I did 2 coats of Z-PC fusion, 1 coat Z1, 1 coat Z5, a coat of Z8 and one coat of Z2 followed by another Z8.. took about 4 hours to do the whole thing and WOW! I am blown away... this blows meguiars out of the water.. I posted in July I did Z1, Z5 and Meguiars... this weekend was very much the better route to go.. I am hooked on Zaino ...

I have Zanio on my IP and its truly the best I have ever used. It made the pearl stand out more and even my frineds have noticed a huge difference in it. I will never use anything else again.

So you're telling me that if I put 400 coats of wax and polish it for 4 days it will look great?

Order it at www.zainobros.com, remember to get at least the Z1 (the "primer") and Z2 (the shiny coat).

I've been using Zaino for at least 10 years and I recently sold my 1993 Sentra SE-R and can attest that the shine on that car was unbelieveable after 12 years. The guy that bought it couldn't believe it was the original paint.

I can vouch for Meguires. I have been very impressed with them. With all the hype for Zaino, I am interested.

Zaino is a polish from my understanding. I use zaino to get rid of swirls and wax over it with Meguire's nxt tech wax. i like the nano waxes.
