Which professional products do you use? Since most regular detailers use Maguiars, saying "what the professional use" doesn't really say much.

Arer you talking about Klasse? P21? Pinnacle? 3M? Which products?

I would put 2 blacks next to each other.

One done in Zaino the other in machine applied (porter cable) NXT and would toss a C note if anyone could tell the difference.

The only difference is about 6 hours less with NXT and many $$$ more with Zaino.

IMO for tire dressing there is nothing better than Wheel Wax Extreme Black. It doesn't have the overly glossy or oily look that most tire dressing have. The bigget advantage is that it doesn't fling off all over the car and it hold up well even after a couple of washes/rain showers. It gives the tires more a a brand new look, sort of a dull shine. As fax as wax goes Zaino all the way. My .02

I can tell the difference. The difference comes into play a few weeks after application. 4 coats of Zaino (done over 2 weeks, about 10 hours total) = 6 months without polishing/waxing. NXT on the other hand takes 1/4 or 1/2 of the time to apply, but please post up pics of your car after 6 months after your last NXT application. This comes from someone who used to swear by NXT and who used to used it once every 2-3 weeks on my old car. Where's my C note now?

The Mr Clean thing seems to work alright on my white truck but it leaves spots every where on my black G. I used it on the G once and never again. I swear by the Zaino products also and have just started using their Z-16 tire dressing. It soesn't leave as much of a shine but it seems to repel dirt better than anything else I have ever used. The new grand finale Z-8 is great too but a bit expensive. I havent hardly touched my Z-6 since i got it. All the zaino products have a great addictive smell to them. A bit of aroma therapy mixed in.

I used Maguiars Gold Class the last time I polished the car. It applied easy and turned out well, but it seems most of the water bead is already gone. I'm probably going to try Zaino or something next time.

For Tire dressing, I use Turtle Wax Tire Wax. It looks great, not overly glossy, and it doesn't spin off onto the car panels. It seems to last a lot longer than any sprays too. Tire Wax after spraying on Bleech-White and brushing the tires is the way to go.

I use clay, followed by P21S paintwork cleanser and have had great success with both Klasse ALl-in-one and Zaino Z1-Z2 polishes.

Zaino is cake to use and relatively cheap. The only issue for me is the shipping, shich I always split across a group buy
