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.





Silverstone 35th Anniversary............bone stock, FOR NOW!!

NXT gives a pretty good shine and is pretty durable.

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