I now use a great deal of zaino, but no matter what i do, I always top it with NXT Tech Wax. Go to http://forums.corvetteforum.com/show....php?t=1314861 and you can see how my car turned out. If you want the best of the best nothing can beat zaino though. Just be prepared to spend the time doing it, and you will never regret a min of it!

Congrats ...and welcome to the Forum!

The Car Care Discussion section of the Forum is the best place to go for all your questions on this topic. Several very knowledgeable people and a few professional detailers hang out there.

Good luck with the new ride!

They also have leather treatment and cleaners.

Welcome aboard


Check out Meguier's full line of NXT products too.

Congrats on the new Vette. I like yellow too. Kinda wish I went yellow because black is so tough to keep up. Especially if you're **** about your car! I just ordered the Zaino kit per the recommendations of this site.
