Car wax

Ok, here's the deal. I'm looking for my next car wax. In the past I have used Pinnacle, Zymol, Ardex, Mothers, and my current wax....Meguiars Gold class. I really like the Meguiars for its ease of application and removal. The shine I get looks wet. I just want something a bit better. I have heard of Zaino, but have never tried it. Any input guys?

you could also look into getting Klasse. a lot of people use it and think it's great.

Zaino click my sig and see for yourself if you look at my homepage though you will see that multiple coats of zaino will make your car transparent meaning you won't even be able to see the true color of your maxima it will be like a mirror on wheels which in my case are shiny too

i just ordered Klasse kit from autogeek.com This stuff is great, easy apply, easy off and a glass finish. I only had to use about an oz of the product. First i clay bared everything. Then put on all-in-one, then the glaze. It is great stuff.

To order Zaino, you will have to either find the Zaino Distributor or order it from www.zainobros.com.

You said you used Pinnacle. Which one? Paste Glaz or Souveran?

Another wax you might want to consider is either P21S or S100. Either one is very easy to apply and he gloss rivals Pinnacle Souveran. Anotehr advantage is that S100 is around $16 at your local Harley Store.

I've seen pics of Zaino on a Black 88 Monte SS with the original paint. Looks like it was just painted. Good stuff.

Wow, thanks for all the replies. All the waxes I mentioned were tried on my black 89 SE which I owned since day one. I stayed with the Zymol because to me it looked the best with my black paint. When I sold the car, I gave the guy the wax with it. The black paint on that car looked great.

Now I have my 03 Sheer Silver SE. With silver, the paint really gets that wet look. Truthfully, I wasn't that impressed with the Pinnacle on the silver. I feel the Meguiars Gold Class does just as good as a job at a fraction of the cost. However, I know there is a better wax out there. I have heard of Zaino for years, just never chatted with anyone who used it. I am going to order the whole kit tomorrow and spend next weekend on the car. For what it's worth, the car has been waxed almost every week since I got it in October. I am really happy with my color choice. Thanks again.
