Okay, what's your favorite wax?

[Silverback]

Let take a count here. We all have favorites so let's do a poll.

Please note, that they are in alphabetical order, not my personal preference.

I just used Mequairs last nite....but I just ordered a kit from Griots.....So, I guess I'm on the fence. I like Meguiars but I really need an orbital buffer to make a determination of which one is better.

 

[SilvrSRT10]

Zymol is not on the list but wondered if anyone has used it and what you think of it?

Zaino Baby. Silverback recommended it to me over on the NFFF and I never looked back. That stuff is amazing.

Pinnacle Souveran or P21S (also known as s100), deepest wettest looking shine comes from the souveran but it better for the price. s100 is also available at Harley dealerships which makes it readily accessible. Neither is real durable but I also wax every 2-3 weeks so it really doesn't matter to me.

Zaino sucks on black, been there, done that (several times). Good shine, great durability, NO DEPTH (and yes I layered it over a 1 week period, 7 layers as a matter of fact). I like it on some silvers though....

I could use almost any carnauba and come out with good results, some wetter looking than others. It really comes down to the amount of time you spend prepping the surface, and for some of you zaino guys that means more than a clay bar....actually polishing, putting a nice glaze if you want (makes it even drippier on certain colors), sealing, then of course the final step of waxing. Then maintain it with a spray wax (optimum is good) between washes to prolong the life of the wax.

Some Zaino guys do a great prepping job and as I said I do like it on silver, just not black or red.

From a mequires perspective, #26 is a good carnauba, not quite a good at the afformentioned two though.

My process on paint with significant swirls and minor light scratches:
-Optimum Compound
-Blackfire ceramic polish (yes I know it's make for the mercedes and such ceramic paint but nothing finishes out like this one)
-RMG, Red Moose Machine Glaze
-Poorboy's EX
-Souveran or P21S

-Optimum spray wax after washes and Optimum Car wash

Hmmm, Zaino is not a wax But I still use Zaino on my toys. I use good old Turtle wax on my daily driver.

 

[Hotrodmike]

I use Wizard's but the main reason is ,it is not a wax but a sealant and since we are putting out show car finish and it's fresh paint and CAN NOT be waxed for a period of time . We used to use glazing products but they are only good for a short period ,fingerprint like crazy and almost act like a dust magnet . Like some said it more prep than what wax or sealant you use there is no salve that will make what aint . A slick paint job need a protectant not a make up job ,sorry it's that anal paint thing coming up <VBG>

Zymoil works actually off the shelf well

McGuirs is good,but takes tons of work to do correctly

Just tried the Groits, kinda like it pretty well, just leaves the petroleum smear, and takes awhile to get off.

Tried hundreds of different things over the years and Still Ziano is the best i have seen on my black Rc, its not that bad as people would have ya believe.

It gets tons of the swirls out, leaves it deep looking. just plum, loveit,,,, thanks Silverback

I have always used Zymol, but have recently bought Zaino to give it a try since I have heard good things about it. I usually don't wax my cars, I just take it to a local guy a couple times a year who cleans the whole thing top to bottom and I just keep it clean & maintain it in between cleanings. Then again, I only put 1K a year on it, so it doesn't need much cleaning.
