Zaino & NXT seem to be the most popular among people here.

Just ordered the zaino 'show car' kit and can't wait to put my new Z through the process. Can't go wrong with this system according to the many testimonies and pics from people on this site. Do a search for "Zaino" and all you questions will be answered. Thats what I did.

Most people use the same stuff that they put on their cars. Wheel Wax is supposed to have some magic power to repel brake dust - I'm skeptical of claims like that but a lot of people swear by WW.

My local Lexus dealer carries it, check the WW site because I think they have a dealer locator.

I use Turbo Wax. I've tried many of the popular brand name waxes, and have found Turbo Wax to work the best. Check out these two links to see some pics of cars that used turbowax:
