Dont tell me to search b/c I did & this is what I came up with.........

Many people like Zaino Bros but claim it does it work on dark color cars & not as good on light color??? Klasse also had good feedback. I use Meguilar's right now & its alright but want like a Showroom Shine....So I need some feedback, what works BEST

I use the Pinnacle brand and this being my first white car, i think the finish is pretty good. Of course, i tried every other brand on my black max i had before, and ended up with the Pinnacle line. I use the paintwork cleansing lotion and then the Paste Glaz. It works very well and goes on very easy. Go ahead and try everything else if you have money to burn but i bet youll end up liking the Pinnacle stuff most.

i use klasse, but if your going for shine over protection, then i'd go with a non-synthetic wax.

Mothers makes a great sealer/glazer. Its not expensive and it gives a grat shine. There wax is great also.

Zymol... leave it on overnight, buff it off in the morning... your car will have a nice hint of blue.

i was using mcquires, but have switched to Mother's carnuba(sp?) wax. it's not a mixture that's soft... it's hard carnuba(sp?) wax. it's a little harder to put on and off, but i "feel" like it does a better job from those "wax / cleaners". someone pointed out to me at work that having a product that CLEANS and WAX's at the same time is kind of contradicting.

if all else fails, use your spit and a soft towel...

cleaner wax

I would assume it to be fine in moderation, but does it harm the car to use cleaner wax everytime you wax? Better yet, one of the cleaner/polish combo's?

i'm not an expert, but from what i've gathered from talking to detailing guys, you can't overwax your car...

regarding the polish/cleaner wax, i use them on my wife's car because it doesn't get waxed often.

from the name of the product, if your car is smooth after a car wash, just use the wax. use the cleaner/polish when you actually have a purpose of cleaning/polishing something you see. that's how i do it.

my car is very smooth after a car wash, and i keep it washed and waxed quite regularly to keep it from ever needing polish (which is actually taking microscopic layers off - depending on the "grit" you buy). prevention... that's the key word....

I swear by Blitz wax and 3M hand Glaze. First the 3m to clean the paint and then a nice coat of Blitz Wax. It goes on like butter.
