I don't use it, but have used Meguiar's. I've started using something I think is MUCH better on my black Z. Anybody heard of Pinnacle out here? You can get this stuff at properautocare.com. It's expensive, but I've never had a finish like this before. http://www.properautocare.com/pinnacle-usa.html They have lots of detailing products. I like the leather conditioner too. Smells like new leather when I'm done.

I used the mother's 3 phase system on my Maxima a couple of days after I got it. It's kind of tedious priming/glazing/waxing your car 3X, but believe you me it's worth it. The #3 carnauba wax is easy to apply and so is the sealer/glaze; the first one (cleaner i think) is a pain.

Mothers carnaube wax is the best "Pep Boys" "Auto Zone" wax. But I would be temped to spend a few extra bicks and step up to One Grand Blitz or S100 (which is being discontinued so nab it while you can)

Yeah i know, thats why P21S is changing the S100 formula, when it was found out that they were the same, everyone bought the S100 essentially loosing $10 per sale.

If you do buy Mothers....
....get the version WITHOUT cleaners. The Mothers with cleaner has a polishing compound in it and it will leave tiny scratches in your clear coat. You want to get the carnuba ONLY version. And yes, it's a good wax. I used to use it on my black 944 with great results. It's harder to use than the Zaino ZFX system, but it can provide a very good finish with a bit of buffing.
