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?

 

im a fan of meguires

 

they make a nice 3 step process (sorry about the two replies

 

We make very fine products, but no wax or polish will fix your rock chips, for that this page might help: http://www.angelfire.com/il/99redbird/rockchip.html

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

 

I'm a first time Zaino user and after my first coat of z-2 then some z-6 all i have to say is wow. the stuff works! It's durable too because i haven't washed yet this week and it is still shiny!

 

which zaino should i use i have a grey 2005 350z. been washing it and now i want to do a claybar and wax. what is recomeneded?

 

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!

 

there are lots of threads on this topic...please search

 

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

 

zaino is not a wax.

 

I like p21s or s100...

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

 

Here are a few pictures of my car with a coat of poorboys Ex topped with Meguiars Hi tech yellow wax #26 (Carnauba) on it.
