It's that time of year to fine tune the Z's appearance. I'm tired of all the foul weather mucking things up all winter and need a recommendation on a car polish/system. Any professionals out there that can make the call?

Here's how I would judge my selection:

#1 priority: Looks/Finish
#2 Ease of use. multi step is not a problem.
#3 Long lasting
#4 Cost

Whats your favorite? Do you also have a favorite buffer?
I'm tossing between Meguiar's and Zymol.

 

Before this thread is moved....one word:

Zaino (at least for me and my ZR)
Porter Cable

 

Porter Cable with Klasse polish and sealant.

 

Porter Cable...FTW~!

 

How much better would a result be if you used the porter cable polisher vs. the (variable speed) high speed polishers that they sell at pep boys for like 40 or 50 bucks? Im not talking about the orbital buffers that use the 10" pads, mind you. Im talking about the angle polishers that look like the porter cable one.

 

+10 on the Zaino!

 

autopia.org

search for your color, or something similar if it doesn't return anything. Different products will do different things to different colors...different. <---just wanted to say it one more time.

 

Zaino gets more votes than all others.

 

I've been using Turbo Wax for about a year now, and I absolutely love it. It leaves the car very shiny and gives it a deep reflection, and the shine lasts for a long time (even after rain). Its easy to put on and take off. You don't have to wipe hard to take it off. A quick wipe will take it off easily. Turbo Wax is also a sponsor on these boards, and its nice to support the sponsors that help to keep the boards running.

 

Zaino goes on and off by hand so there's no need for an P-C or orbital buffer.
