Default Best Wax

I was wondering what wax everyone uses? I just pulled my car cover off today and found several light scratches on my car. I tried using 3m hand glaze and the gold series wax by meguires but I can still see some of the fine lines. What will take this out? I hate seeing that on my car, what makes it worse is that my car is black, which shows everything.

Guess we can't call Zaino a wax, but give Zaino a try.

this will be moved to car care section, but you may want to look there and also ask the same questions. good luck. black does show everything.

Try Zaino Z5 Pro polish. Helps hide swirls and fine scratches.

But they are going to happen...... Just try not to stare at the car with neon lighting or you will go nuts..... I almost did, but saved myself before I had to get checked into the nut house.

Try Zaino All in One (Z-AIO). It is almost as good as the standard Z2/Z5 but you only need the one bottle. Once you see how good that is I bet you "graduate" to the full product line.

Try Meguaires Cleaner Wax, it should remove any small scratches in your paint.

No Vette yet but I use Zaino on all my cars.

It's the way to go.

They all have fine scratches in them, usually not visible under normal lighting. Just stop stop looking at them under flourescent lights and obsessing over it!

Asking what is the best wax around here is like asking who has the best cat.

Seriously though, check out Rejex. It's one of the best sealants out there.

3m finesse-it finishing material, part no. 051131-05928. last part of the paint process before your car leaves bowling green. not cheap but very good.
