I've been told that wax contains silicon which is bad for the paint in the long run. The owner at the body shop where I normally take my car recommends to use glaze, which brings out the shine, instead of wax.

What are your experiences?

 

Many people on the org have found that Zanio and Mequiars are the two best products for paint care. I prefer Zanio, but that is mainly because I have a dark colored car. Check out the car care sticky at the top of the forum for more detailed info.

 

Thanks.

Just found that Zaino doesn't use silicone in there products

 

put the car in a moisture free vacuum. Of course the lack of air particles to hold the paint on would probably result in chips..

 

Glaze definitely brings out the shine, but it has no durability, and will wash away completely the first time it rains or you wash your car. Many people will apply wax over glaze to help "lock in" that shine.

 

Now that I know Zaino there is no turning back

 

Prestone's Bullet Wax is one of the best out there...ranked #2 on Consumer Reports. #1 was Zymol, i think, but that's pretty expensive. I use it and it's great. it even comes w/ a handy dandy applicator! close behind is the Nu Finish paste.
