Just wondering what you guys and girls swear by in regards to wax and tire dressing?

 

Lots of opinions on this, but Zaino has proven the easiest for me, with the best results. As for tire dressing, I like the look of Zaino's tire stuff... ...as well as the Fruit-Loop smell.

I'm not really impressed with Zaino's leather care product. I've used better and will likely switch back to something different for the leather and the vinyl dash, doorpanels, console, etc. It smells pretty good, but it just doesn't seem to condition or moisturize as well as others I've used in the past.

Very happy with the other Zaino products and strongly reccomend them (Z7 Carwash, Z2 Polish w/ AFX accelerator drops & Z6 Gloss Enhancer Spray). More than that, I urge you to spend the money on some good towels (100 USA cotton AND Made In The USA). Wamsutta's 100% USA Grown/USA Made cotton towel line has worked perfectly for me (avail. at Bed, Bath & Beyond). Just stay away from their line of Eqyptian cotton blends. It's supposed to be more luxurious, but they will F up your finish. Very harsh blend!

Hit www.zainobros.com and look at the product and, MORE IMPORTANTLY, read the suggestions/FAQs on towel selection. It's the best thing you'll ever do for your finish.

 

For wax I have been using Zymol...works very well for me and lasts a ton longer than Meguairs.

 

How is that Mr. Clean stuff? The spotless wash?

 

tire dressing = meguires hot shine i think thats what its called
wax = i used mothers carnauba last time.. wasnt bad at all

 

Haven't tried it but am curious as well.

 

I use meguires nxt polymer-based. It lasts longer than zymol did for me and doesn't produce the 'white powder' residue after buffing that zymol did either. It's a cake to put on and seems to do the job.

GeeWillikers has used quite a few. I'm sure he could chime in on a new product he had ordered.

 

Wax/polish = Zaino
Tire dressing = No Touch spray

 

Wax/Polish............Zaino. Period.
Tire Dressing.........Black Magic "Tire Wet."

wax--zymol
tires---meguires
Not a fan of black magic tire dressing. It browned my tires after a short amount of time. It also seemed to excessively collect dirt.

 

+1 .

 

Wax: Meguiar's NXT Liquid
Tire Dressing: Meguiar's Endurance High Gloss

Also, I've recently tried the new Meguiar's NXT Glass cleaner. Given, I'm a huge Meguiar's fan, but I've tried several others including Stoner's, and this stuff beats them all hands down. Bug stuff comes off very easily. No hazing.... Seriously give it a try.

 

Zaino all the way.

As for Mr Clean. It still leaves spots worthless in my opinion, I only used it twice and tossed it in the trash.

 

I use the stuff that detailers use. I haven't bought wax or interior/exterior dressing from a store in 10 years. Since I use to detail cars, I realized how much better the professional grade is. When I moved to CA, I called local detailers and asked them who they use for their products and called their dealer. Prices are a lot cheaper and the products are better.

 

If you are talking about the Mr. Clean Auto Dry, I think its the best thing money can buy. I've been using it for well over a year and I love it. It really depends on how hard the water is in your area. Its really nice to not have to dry the car.
