never used anything but Zaino and I think it does a fantastic job. It definitely looks better the more coats you have on.

First wash it well with car soap. Feel the paint if its smooth as glass. If not polish it then wax it. I've tried many named brands like Mothers,Meguiars,Black magic which are good.

I think that stuff removes the wax. Its the oil in the wax that makes the paint shiny.

Ah... Mr. Clean strikes again. There have been a few posts about it in the detailing Forum but I don't recall if anybody mentioned what they used to strip it off. Most were not impressed after using it for a while, they reported that it appeared to dull the finish like there was a film left on the car.

You can always try the basic wash in Dawn dish detergent. It will strip most waxes, etc.

I'm not sure what is recommended to remove Mr. Clean but if the Dawn doesn't work, you might try a mixture of alcohol and water or some mineral spirits.

Once you get it off, the Zaino should make it shine again.

I've been using Meguiars NXT since I got mine last September. Seems to do a great job and doesn't dry white, so it doesn't leave white stuff in the molding and such. I use the spray touch up wax to keep things shining... it's quick and easy.

Seriously, NXT gen wax by meguiars is pure grease and it will make your car shine like no other. No protection but it will be shiny as hell.
