Re: Whats The Best Wax Really?

Wow, no other Zymol users? I've tried many products, and as far as wax goes, I really like the Zymol stuff. I personally prefer the natural products, it lets the paint breathe more, plus it smells like hot chicks at the beach! A quick wax, and then go over it again with some water in a spray bottle, lightly spritzing and rubbing it in, and the car is amazing. I've heard awesome stuff about the Collonite too, they are selling it at Advance now, and have used many other products with great success, but personally love the Zymol.

Re: Whats The Best Wax Really?

I use Zaino. Although you have several steps, you only have to use it one to two times a year, beads up everytime, shines and looks great.

Re: Whats The Best Wax Really?

I personally never did try the Zano line---And I do believe that it is a good product. However, I have started using Wizards products and their paint sealant and detail spray is really something that you have to witness. I use it on all of my vehicles and I have a black truck, black Impala SS, and a white truck. I buy my stuff by the case from the distributor and save about 30% on the over the counter cost. www.wizardsproducts.com

Re: Whats The Best Wax Really?

I use zaino. Like stated above, the first time you apply it, it's a time consuming process (claybar, basecoat, topcoat) but it lasts A LONG time and looks awesome

Re: Whats The Best Wax Really?

In my world "best" equals longest lasting because who wants to wax 4-5 times/year? Longer lasting waxes are not wax, but synthetic polymer sealants. Keep in mind that pure carnuba wax is really only good for 6-8 weeks. I like Poorboy's pure EXP sealant and Klasse All-in-One. They both last awhile and shine great (over a properly prepared surface of course).

Re: Whats The Best Wax Really?

Zaino. Been using it since 1999. Best stuff, hands down, I've ever used. Easy on, easy off, and the shine is incredible...especially on darker colors.

Finishing up the final wet sanding on my cab this week (Black), then will buff it out. Before we even mount the cab, it will have two coats of Zaino.

Re: Whats The Best Wax Really?

after checking the website, it's been around since 91' and claims to be the original dry wash product. Washless car wash basically with stuff that is supposed to give a great shine. i always said the best wax is whatever you are using and multiple applications.

Re: Whats The Best Wax Really?

I have used Meguairs wax without many issues, but I am in the market for some great wax. Looks like I will need to check out the Wizard brand.

What are people experiences with Mothers products? I know Foose uses them, but he's also getting paid....

Re: Whats The Best Wax Really?

I use IBIZ. Several friends of mine have been using this stuff for years. I finally bought some and was impressed at the shine and how much cleaner my trucks and cars were. Its also endorsed by the Corvette club of america. They have a complete line of detailing products and are guaranteed. Pretty sweet stuff

Re: Whats The Best Wax Really?

hotrod 80, I understand the high humidity issues. Looks like I will have to jump on the Mothers crew and try out some of their products. Out of Mothers, Zimbol, and Surf City, which provided the best protection?
