I know I have heard a lot of good things about this wax, but I am usually a bit impatient, and am trying to get the whole Jeeo dine in a day, so I use the Turtle Wax Ice since with other waxes I get them on the plastic, and seals and stuff, and then it looks bad. I am going to try the clay bar this spring when it gets nice out again though.

I've heard great things about Zaino. Another one that is on par with Zaino that's already been mentioned is Klasses All-In-One. I use the Klasse stuff and it's been working great. I've applied it 3 times over the year. Probably overkill but I like to keep the paint looking nice for as long as possible.

I'll stick with Meguiar's, thanks.

Meguir's isn't bad but I think it's more of a traditional wax so it doesn't last on the paint surface nearly as long as the sealants being discussed.

Well good for them. I'll just do it more often. I ain't a rich man.

I know guys that swear by Zaino.

But for me, Mequire's works just fine. I know a guy who professionally details cars and all he uses is Mequire's products. Good enough for him, good enough for me.

I've used zaino stuff for a couple of years now. Most of mine is gone or empty, so i'll have to buckle down and buy the kit again this year. If really saved the paint on a black car I had.

For anyone looking to cut the time in half or by 2/3's. Do yourself a favor and buy a Porter Cable 7424. This is a Random orbit buffer that, unless you purposely try to harm your paint, will not burn up your paint. It's also, not gonna be able to do some of the heavy work if you have in deep scratches. It's a pure blessing when doing those all day wax jobs. Cause it not only applies the wax, but can remove it for you by using a bonnet.

Yep, not saying that Meguire's is bad at all. I'm sure it works just as well to protect the paint. It definitely costs less. I think compared to Klasse it costs about half or less. But then again if you're applying it more often then I wonder if the cost difference is very big or if it evens out over time.

I've been wanting to buy that Porter Cable for a while. You're pushing me closer to buying it!
