Default Wax

Simple question: what is the best wax to use on the Z? Also, is there a compound/wax which will help with the paint nicks/chips on the front bumper?

In over 30 years of looking for the best, Zaino to me is the absolute best. Been using it for 5 years.

There's a relatively new one on the market (3-4 years) which is being overlooked, and it's g-r-e-a-t and, best of all, not expensive--Prestone's Synthetic Car Polish. $4.95 on sale at Ft. Buchanan, Puerto Rico. Add a dollar or two off base, and it's still a great price. Try it guys, you'll love it!

Try Nattys Red or Blue, depending on the color of your car.

Zaino is soooo over-rated!!!

I would say that the poorboys ex is an excellent product. You get the depth and durability of the sealant and the warm and sharpness of the carnauba and it is very easy to apply and take off and its on like $18 at detailed image

Try it

I like p21s or s100...

I read a lot about collonite wax are very durable if you need something to last very long.
