I am sure a mod will move this to the car care section for you.

Zaino is excellent, but you will have to order it. I use it on my car. If you want something that's readily available, Meguires NXT is very good and you can get it at any auto parts store or Walmart etc.

The Car Care Discussion section of the Forum is the best place to find answers to your questions on this topic. Several very knowledgeable people and a few professional detailers hang out in that section.
Good luck with the detailing.

I agree with the guys who say Meguires NXT is great. Excellent spray on wax and leaves a remarkable shine. Best car car product line in my opinion is Adam's car care products. Every Corvete owner should have their Detail Spray in their garage. That stuff is awesome! And the VRT (Vinyl Rubber Tire) product beats anything else I've ever used.

C3, I do like Adams products also, but I switched to the rejex to try it and really like it. I do use their detail spray after every drive to get the bugs off.

Zaino or Maguires NXT are going to be the best and most popular on this Forum. Maguires NXT is my choice simply because it can be purchased just about anywhere $15.99.. One thing to remember is that you need to start with a cleaner wax, which has a mild abrasive to remove any paint oxidation. I use Maguires Cleaner wax.. You may also want to consider a Clay Bar too. Maguires makes these also.. Now you are ready for the NXT or Zaino or whatever else you choose. You will be astounded by the results, no doubt... Black is hard to keep up,but looks awesome when its done right... Maguires also make a detail spray and a NXT detail spray to use in between waxes... I highly recommend these also,especially with black... Take your time and do it right and you will be able to see the buggars in your nose in the reflection of the paint!!
