mothers. i'm very satisfied with the results. i like being able to go down the street to pick some up when i'm out rather than waiting 6-8 weeks for delivery (zaino).

Re: WHICH WAX DO YOU USE? (yellow 72)
I painted my car 6 years ago and it's never been waxed. It's only been wet once when I was caught in the rain at a show...Polished yes. I've tried about every polish out there. Meguiar's product line is #1 in mine opinion :cheers:

Liquid Glass.
Goes on and comes off easy, yet shines extremely well and lasts a long time.
I bought several cans a long while back. I hope they still make the stuff.

Re: WHICH WAX DO YOU USE? (ddecart)
I've used quite a few different brands of wax over the years and I have to say that Zaino not only gives an excellent shine but it puts most of the others to shame in the endurance department. I was a die hard Meguiars user for about 10 years doing the 3 step method. The problem I had was that within a few weeks the car would start to dull again. With Zaino the shine hasn't really ever dulled and I usually just put a coat on every 2 or 3 months for the hell of it. If you compared the shine of Zaino with the shine of Meguiars after their 3 step process, or even one of the many other brands, you will see little difference. If you compared them after a month or two the difference would be night and day. This has been born out in other independant tests, the last I read being from the BMW club. Check out the posts in the Car Care section and do a search on
BMW. You might find it there.

Meguiar's Show Car Glaze and once or twice a year an application of Zymol (love the smell of the stuff).
For those of us that do not use Zaino beware the Zaino police, there out to get us and turn us into Zaino Zombies. :lol:

I use Mothers. It smells good too.
My dad gave me an old can of Liquid Glass that he used to put on the boat. Maybe I'll try that next time.

Re: WHICH WAX DO YOU USE? (gq82)
I asked the infamous "which polish" question in another thread. The most popular brand was Zaino. A friend who owns a body shop, however, recommended Zymol. And that's what I've been using on my bikes and Vette.
I wanted to try Zaino but couldn't find it in stores. If the product is so damn good why don't retail stores sell it? And why didn't I see it for sale at Bloomington Gold? :confused:
