.....what makes zaino better then says mothers, or McGuires ?...


Hi UmX.

There has been much discussion on this forum about which wax is better. I wouldn't dare risk my life and recommend one over another .

I can relate to my personal experiences:

I use Meguiare's NXT2 on my Cadillac, and Rejex on my C6. Like Zaino, these are Polymer's and I find them both to be excellent for shine, depth and longevity The NXT2 is also readily available and inexpensive - a big plus for me. FYI I do all by hand.

My brother has a black GN, and he is a Zaino user. He admits that the shine on my black C6 is as good as his. Some guy did a very detailed test on Zaino and NXT2 - half the hood with one, the other half of the hood with the other. Under bright lights he saw no difference.

Zaino is only available on the 'net.

IMHO, any of these 3 (and there are others) will give you a pretty awesome look.


Hope this helps.

M....

Nothing, you just pay more. I don't care what anyone says. The best finish I have even seen was a dark blue Camaro and he used Meguire's paint sealant and NXT wax.
