Car Wax
On the topic of the Best Car wax ever, this was reccomended to my by the guy who sold me my car and it is Zymol. It is a carnuba wax and can be found at Napa Auto Parts Stores and Advanced Auto Stores, I can speak for personally. I drive a 99 Chrome Yellow Anniversary Edition, and it looks like it rolled off the showroom floor. This wax is WELL worth the money.

Just to tie the two threads together, here is a comparison done by a die-hard Zymol guy that I found interesting:

BlueOvalBolt thanks for the link, I found it pretty informative. One question for anyone that uses Zaino on a regular basis though, how how is it really to apply and how long does it take to do your entire car? I just bought a new F-150, and being black, I know it's gonna show a lot of dirt. I'd love to go the Zaino route, but I don't have an entire day to devote to waxing it. Looking at the Zaino site, it looks like there are a lot of steps involved in doing a good job.

No problem Harry. I use Zaino on both my vehicles and, as a former Mequiar's fanatic, I can say that all the good things you read and hear about its shine and durability is true.
Once you get the vehicle clean (strip with Dawn dishwashing soap and use the clay bar preferably), just like you would before starting the process with any other product really, applying and removing Zaino is extremely easy and fast, especially with the new zfx additive which eliminates the curing time and the need for the initial Z-1 step. I think you will be surprised how easy it goes on and comes off. The first time is the longest when you include prep time. Usually I will wash, clay, and do 2 coats of Zaino for the first round (maybe 6 hours) and add more coats at another time. Each of the additional coats will probably only take 45 minutes to an hour apply and remove Zaino on your truck. Multiple coats is the key here to getting that deep wet shine. Also, use the Z-6 gloss enhancer each time before applying the Z-2 or Z-5. It does make a diffference as does using the 100% made in the USA terry towels. Hope it helps. |
