    Try the 3m stuff i believe its the show glaze wax. Its kind of a bitch to get off but all the detail shops use it when high speed buffers are used. <mostly>

    Meguiars. NXT and 3 step work great. It also smells really good too.

    I use a guys product who is local, Its Flynn Distributers and he seels his cleaning products to dealerships, Body shops, etc.. and his wax I just used for the first time and it made the car look great and it was easy as hell to get off, It goes on smooth and drys within seconds so you can buff it off by hand with no hard work.

    3M is one of the best waxes I have used.

    The only other wax I would reccomend is Shining Monkey. The wax is the EASIEST wax to use, and comes off extremely easy.

    If you want a GREAT show quality wax, you are gonna spend about $8-$12 a bottle, but you definatly should go with 3M or Shining Monkey. They are professional grade waxes and are not some mass produced, off the shelf product, everyday common product. 3M is very limited in stores and Shining Monkey is ONLY available off their website www.ShiningMonkey.com .

    I use Meguir's No 7 Show Car Polish and then put a layer of NXT on top of that and it works pretty well as a budget detail.

    I plan on getting some Zaino over the summer.

    dont do zaino.....for the money its not worth it.... kinda makes the car look plastic like.... id go with either poorboys world, adams or that shinning monkey stuff....

    Wade: exterior was almost all Poorboys, and the interior was all Adams
    Wade: I have some Adams exterior stuff, but my LSP's are all Poorboys

    Wade: well, if they ask.... I washed with Megs GC, Clayed with Clay Magic, SSR2.5 (speed 6 with a light cut pad), SSR1 at speed 5 with a polishing pad, EXP at speed 2 with a finishing pad
    Wade: then I topped with Poorboys Natty's wax

    I have used and been spo'd by Meguiars and Mothers, but in all honesty, Flynn Dist is the best hands down. Thier product is **far less diluted, comes in larger quantities, and is the same price as other brands. Look here for more info
    http://www.flynndist.com/
    I got some last saturday, and I will no longer need another brand of wax, compounds, tire dressing (that wont sling off the tires), or all purpose cleaner. I am sure that list will grow once I try his other prods as well.

    another bump for Flynn Dist. Steve's products are awesome, and you get more product for the same money. I was reccomended by a friend, and now i wont use anything else. Every product ive used from him so far works excellent.
