how to make your max look good?

I heard so many people talking about Zaino Bros show car polish product, they are soooooo expensive, they suggest you to buy like 4/5 different product at the same time. That'll be around $40/50, do you guys think its really worth the money? thx

I am using pro products and they are just the same if not better than Zaino IMO! Plus you don't have to buy the butt load of things they con you into buying at Zaino

i havent tried that many different waxes, but i love meguiars gold class... it doesnt leave that chalk when youre wiping it off, and it doesnt make all of the creases white, its also very easy to take off... it gives the car a very smooth finish

If you have a buffer use Meguairs Professional Series ShowCar Glaze. I costs about $7.98 from Advanced AutoParts. A very good product but it requires a lot of work. You can see pics here. As for soap, I use Meguair's Rich Suds and Wax I use Mothers Carnuba/Paste Wax. This combination works great, or maybe it's just that I wash my car every week?

Zaino really looks nice on a black vehicle. No swirl marks at all, which is not the case with a lot of the major brands. Its not cheap but you can get away with the Z-5 and Z-2. A new car probably just the Z-2 would be fine, Z-5 is for filling in light scratches and it really works too. They now have an additive that will allow to put on mulitple coats on the same day, without using the additive you should wait 24 hours between coats. The additive is around $16.00 I think. In my estimation it is worth it.
