Turtle Wax

I ran out of Zaino a while back. Washed my car today and waxed with with the good ole standby Turtle Wax

I swear it shines just as well as with Zaino and a lot less work. Don't know about the durability of it but it shines great!

Shines better but won't last as long.

Syth wax last longer with less shine (zaino)

Real wax shines better and last less (turttle wax)

Been there done that. Sold the zaino on the forum and refilled the Turtle Wax. It does look better. You can go to good ol' walmart and get all of their stuff including a bunch of micro-fiber towels, tire cleaner, chrome polish, interior cleaner/conditioner plus anything else you can think of to clean for $45. Can't beat it. P.S. If you haven't tried micro fiber towels, do yourself a favor. Just unbelievable.

Saw a black vet at Pep Boys last week. Had to ask the guy what he used on the finish. Turtle wax Platinum. Never heard of it but it sure didi shine.

I think all the wax producers are finally feeling the heat from companies like Zaino. So instead of sub standard products their getting their act together. But I'll stick with Zaino because I use so little and get a great shine that lasts. My .02

Good to hear how good the micro-fiber towels are. I have not tried them yet but I will. Can't beat this Forum for the best tips on shining up the ride!
