what product can make a lazy owner's Z SHINE??
 

hey guys...! i had my car for almost 5 months now. I am very busy with school and work. So i never waxed my z once and i only washed it myself few times too! :rolleyes: My school is gonna be over pretty soon. so i finally get some time to wash my Z! are there products that makes Z shine fast and wont be too complicated to use?? any suggestions are welcome!

ps..CG seems like a good way to go, but I've seen split opinons on them?! ppl with CG is it worth it? help me out guys thx!

Waxing Frenzy will make the car shine BETTER than CG.
It is super easy to remove, no buffing. I did my truck in about 15 - 20 minutes on & off.

Plus it seems to last for a looong time.

BillR, your avatair is just plain sick!!!

Buy the following:
-2 packs of microfiber towels from autozone (they are blue and yellow 2 packs)

-3m swirl remover

-napa hand wash mitt

-meguiars nxt wax

-clay magik bar

1. Wash car with dawn soap and dry
2. Claybar car with lubricant and buff out with a microfiber towel (one section at a time)
3. Follow with 3m swirl remover (dries fast, buff out one section at a time)
4. Follow with meguiras nxt wax. (comes off easy)

After this, my car looked 2x as better than the 6 coats of zaino I had on there

If you're really lazy, you can try the Eagle One Wax-As-You-Dry. I've never used it, but some members on autopia.org say it's ok.

mequires
 

The meguires NXT wax is great...you don't have to claybar and dawn and swirl remove if you don't want to. I would recommend it since the car hasn't ever been waxed since it will make a difference...but you said lazy...the NXT wax although a little pricy ($15) is definitely worth it in the shine and resiliance of the wax. Do make sure to apply and remove the wax according to the instructions. Remove it with either microfiber or my preference DFtowel...Kevin can help you out with the towels..they are awesome!!!

here's how my car looks 2 days after waxing with Maguires NXT...

It only took me maybe 20 minutes. I followed up with Wax Shop "Slick Stuff" which really helps keep dust off. I also use it on my wheels and brake dust doesn't stick to them much at all.

Here's another one....

notice the reflection in the door and the clouds on the front bumper.....

This is probably the easiest wax I've ever used. I just bought the Maguires NXT a couple of days ago and I am extremely happy with it!

last one....

And these pictures were taken with a disposable camera.

hmm im starting to like the headlight cover

Look at the ingredients of Mequires stuff.

Petrolium based ingredients have no buisness being on paint.

I like the CG. It is a little 'time' intensive on 1st application. Easy to do but takes time in between coats. Very easy to maintain after that though. Seriously, I got coated with a sticky, oily mess of spray from a truck on a trip recently. Drove for about 120 miles until I was out of rain. The winshield was smeared with the 'gunk' as well as spots all over the car. I just used a wet microfiber towel. It came right off the car with NO PRESSURE! The winshield took effort to remove. The rag was filty and still isn't clean after 2 washings! CG works. Also, brake dust just rubs off as well.

i use the eagle one wax as u dry. its very easy and looks great. i wash my car like 5 times a week so i use it alot in between real wax jobs. just wash your car and while its wet, spray on and dry off with shammi. do sections at a time

Wow, whoever created this thread read my mind!! I'd love to apply 6 coats of Zaino wax and do all these 25 recommended steps wiht all these layers of Z6, Z7, etc.................my Z IS WELL WORTH IT, but TIME is a very big factor!! I have used the Eagle One Wax-As-You-Dry once since I picked up my car a month ago. I will try the Meguiars NXT stuff. Peace all...

NXT...fast...easy..great shine...some question on durability...but its sooo easy to just apply another coat a few weeks later...

NXT

exactly how lazy are you??? If you can spend a good 2-3 hours, then i would suggest nxt. It will last you for a pretty long time and it looks great.

I use Mother's California Gold and cloth diapers. Does a great job:D

Lou

2-3 hours? Takes me 45 minutes max to do a full wash and apply and remove NXT.

hands down... CG... it's the best shine I've ever had... it takes a bit of effort initially to clay-bar and prep your car, but after that, the incremental applications only take about 10 mins
