Default It's my DD - only want to wax it once a year...

....OK - maybe twice a year at most

Bought a new (to me) ATS - gonna wax it but want something that lasts-and-lasts. Don't care about all the wax-war weaponry about polish, carnuba, etc.. - that's for Vettes..

Nufinish? What else?

Zaino z5, wipe it on, wipe it off. That's it. Don't buy in to all that Zaino hype, the numerous steps, hardeners, enhancers blah blah blah...

My DD (and Vette) always look great, and it's all I use

I just started trying a product the detail shop suggested. They did a test on the front end of our DD's for us to see. I'm very impressed so far as the bugs don't even stick .

The C6 does in Monday for the complete deal, it's a no Driver I don't want to touch it for a few years.

It's not cheap so if you are no need for me post up the product, if your are interested & can handle the cost I will post up.

My 3X Blk C5 is on the radar for a detailed detail so it may see the same product. Paint needs to be corrected prior to the application.

I don't even bother waxing my DD, it's a 2006 Civic, and the paint still shines pretty good still! I guess it depends on the color, this one is a light to medium blue. I rarely even wash it actually! I enjoy having one car that I don't worry that much about, this is the car we take when we're going on a long trip to a possibly sketchy area (like Detroit or NYC) I save the waxing for the C6 and our BMW (and even then, I only wax them once per year, with Zaino Z2, I'd rather drive than polish)

It's still out there and a lot of people swear by it, but honestly it's old school technology. And I don't think it's good enough to last one solid year (in fact, very few products will last that long through all 4 seasons here, especially with all the road salt they dump)

I have bought my Zaino from Mike in Guelph (both online and directly at his tire shop) and also from Tom in Burlington. My last order was from Tom and I placed the order online but he ended up delivering it directly to my house in person the very next day! That was a nice touch!
