Zaino baby. All the way.

Expensive, but WELL worth it. Especially on black cars,and all dark colors.

Search around on this site and the net, you'll see

there is a pretty nice wax that turtle wax makes, but not the spray stuff.

I take my cars to the spray wash for cleaning but I use orange power wheel cleaner, Armor all cleaning, protectant and glass wipes and Black Magic leather cleaner.

x2

you should see my big box of car cleaning supplies. 90% of it is meguiar's brand. scratch X and NXT makes for one sexy car. :D

Meguiars Black Magic (I think thats what its called)

I've tried the wax specially for black paint but I think it sucks.

Yeah, but what does a board full of professional detailers know anyway?

The board is Autopia, by the way. Don't let Eric throw you off track.

I know what a board of professional detailers know. They know how to make your car look good, but not look good for long so you can call them back and pay them some more money to make your car look good again.

Does Zaino give the tip top best super duper I am going to go win the next Nopi car show shine, maybe not. Does it look as good as the best product or even better, and lasts a thousand times longer then anything off the shelf you can get locally?

Yes.

Just my opinion, I am sure a group of texans will come in here just to argue the point, no matter what product I reccomended, its just my opinion.

Use what works on your car, I coudl care less if anyone used Zaino, or if they used airplane stripper and brillo pads. Whatever makes you happy about your car.

Meguiars all the way [img]smile.gif[/img] Just my personal opinion

Friggin right on the money. Auto detailers are out to make money. If they have to spend $50 on wax supplies just for your car, and have it last for 9 months, where do they make money?

General business practices, you just have to think about it.

I have used Nu-Finish for a few years. It's very easy/fast to apply and last quite awhile.

Zymol is second to Zaino and I sure like it. I just can't see myself spending that much money on Zaino.

I use 3M's 39009 scratch and swirl remover and sometimes 3M's compound then follow that up with Zymol. The shine last for a very long time.

THe only problem I have in S. Calif. is the huge amount of dust that lays down on your car afterwards.

I use the meguires 3 stage(don't know how to spell it) after i am done i allways get compliments on how good my car looks, and people allways ask what i use. I love having a nice black car, for the tire i use the black majic stuff, for was i use meguires gold class and for window windex, and for the interior i use the armoral wipes.
