I use meguiars nxt wax followed by griots carnuba wax.

When I'm really detailing (once a year or so) then I use griots fine hand polish to start with followed by the 2 listed above.

I use the complete Zaino Show Car Care Product line. It's a lot of work but the results are top-notch.

Im getting a little tired though of the wax Battle---I got sucked into the Turtle Wax Ice fetish and here i sit with a bottle of it collecting dust. Always open to new things but u have to relize the advertising agencys are pros and u have to beware. Mcguires has proven as has Zymol----Best to avoid silicones

I've been happy with it. I've heard it compared to Zaino with a little less longevity. I got mine for $11 at Wally World.

Cool

WOOOOOOOOHOOOOOOOO, 1st time posting here I run a detailing business out of my garage, I use nothing but Mequiars #26, Now I also know there are better(and more expensive) products out there, but in my personal opinion, for ease of use, along with shine, its HARD to beat Mequiars.

NXT gives a pretty good shine and is pretty durable.

For ultimate in shine and protection, I use BlackFire www.properautocare.com
