I use Hot Flash wax. It's about the easiest to put on and remove of any wax that I've found, and shined up the 13 year old paint on my daily driver Saturn today like you wouldn't believe. I think I might go take some pics of it b/f the sun sets.

Here's the pic....dunno if you can really tell the shine, but it made a HUGE difference in the shine of the paint. Best of all, it only took about an hour total to do, including washing the car!

my friend swears by zaino. he gave me some to try. didn't really impress me.

my neighbor works at 3M so he gives me all this free ****. i think my truck came out better than new. i used the following in order:

1. 3M perfect it II compound for minor scratches and swirl marks
2. 3M perfect it II machine glaze for bringing back shine lost by compound
3. wax

i used MOTHERS alot too

CAn you use an orbital buffer to apply Zaino, or do you have to apply it all by hand?

My personal favorite is Adams Polish "Butter Wax"
http://www.adamspolishes.com/site/pr...459DF8983E264A
besides his wax, his products are, by far, the easiest I've ever used. He is also a great guy and local in SoCal. Customer Service is Awesome!
None of his products leave a residue on plastic or dust, except "swirl and scratch remover". His Detail spray is freakin incredible, dry wash, clay bar lube, general cleaner, windows, you name it.
All of his stuff can be used in full sun! except "swirl and scratch remover"
Even his wash pads and micro-fiber towels are the ****.
you will not be disappointed with his full line, trust me on this one, been there done that many times over.
I've been using his products for 2 years.

All his products smell fantastic, no chemical smells at all. And, his leather treatment and VRT (Vinyl, Rubber, Tires) are top notch. Did you get some vinyl protectant on the windows? no problem, wipes right off, no residue.

I use to use that alot about 10 years ago that thing was the best out there IMO, It still beats alot of waxes, it just that NXT cam along and it is bad ***. super glaze attracts a lot of dust too.
