What kind of car polish and car wax do you guys use to keep your max shining ?

 

ZYMOL The best..

 

I've been using NXT Tech Wax 2.0 on my max for over 3 months. I a very pleased with it. It really pops the shine out on my crimson black maxima

 

Looks like another Wax War in the making here........
I use Zaino products on the Corvette and Meguiar's professional line on the Maximas.
The Corvette guys have beaten this subject to death on corvetteforum.com...plenty of opinions there.

Good luck.

 

theres actually a whole detailing/car cleaning section of the Maxima site check it out. I like Meguiar's but have everyone pulling me over to Zaino for that show car finish

 

Tech Wax 2.0 here, but only because I haven't run out yet. The stuff lasts about two months. Hardly an all-star performance when my car is garaged for days at a time. The replacement will probably be Duragloss because it's said to be similar to Zaino.

 

zaino is great for lighter colors i would go with a carnauba for darker colors

my car is wearing ezcreme topped with opti seal and looks great imo

 

I use whatever is on sale. I like the NXT wax and the quick wax spray wax. This black is so hard to keep clean!

 

I just recently applied Swissvax Concorso with three applications on my friends car and we were very impressed, the depth of color, reflection, etc was just unreal and very easy application. Swissvax is very impressive but also very expensive so I'm looking at trying Finish Kare 1000P it's very highly reviewed over at autopia.org and other respected detailer sites and less than $20!!

 

I had some meguiars worked great and wiped off good I had that armor all butter wax works great on my 3rd gen but cant get all the residue out on my 2011 has any one else had this problem with certain waxes

 

concorso is a great wax smells great too lol


1000p is damn near buller proof, will last a long time

 

if anyone has a super black maxima i definitely recommend turtle wax black box. it is amazing. I first used mguires line but this is better

 

zaino for sure. I love the stuff. My car is black as well. By far the best product I have ever used. The shine is so deep. Well worth the money

 

I am among those who used Zaino for many years but have now graduated to Duragloss.

 

wash, claybar, paint cleaner, paint polish, carnabua wax all from meguairs

 

i have used Zaino once on a friends car...it worked great.....lately though i have been using 3M and Meguiar's products....I recently bought a porter cable DA polisher so I was thinking about trying some different products from autogeek.net, this is always a battle as long as you do things the right way they all work pretty good for the most part..

 

Anyone ever hear of Collinite?? Not sure I spelled it correct. heard its as good as Zainos.

 

Thats what I use, Collinite 476.

 

What color car and i assume you really like it?

 

My car is the Tuscan Sun, I really do like it, you use a little and its last a long time.

 

collinite doesnt get it fair due on the forums but it is a great wax

845 spreads for ever and lasts a long time.

i use it on vehicles that dont get usually washed for maximum protection

 

I don't have access to water with hoses as I live in the apartment so i cant hand wash my car ... The only think I can get is the automatic touch less wash from a Mobil1 gas station nearby ...

Also, is it save if I wash the car in the touchless car wash and drive home and do the wax ?
I am just worry that kind of car wash won't really clean well as when I wipe the car I still can see some black streaks on my towels...that when I apply the wax I ended up scratching the car with dirts that still stay on the car

Also what do you guys think of the wax offered in these touchless car wash.. are they dependable ?

 

go to a hand wash place and take your own bucket and sponge. Just go when others aren't there, so you aren't "that guy" But the only way to get a car clean is to touch every surface. That is the only way in my book.

 

u also can use optimum no rinse wash and shine if water is an issue

all u need it 1 to 2 gallons

 

do I still need to spray my car with water in the beginning to let the contaminant down before using "optimum" ?

 

u can it depends on how dirty the car is.

u can also make a QD strength batch of onr put it in a chemical sprayer and pre treat the dirty areas to break down the grime before putting a sponge on it

when in the winter my car is very dirty i do go to touchless to remove the bulk of dirt then go back home and ONR in garage

 

I've always used mothers, but meguiars was pretty good too. Used it once for bringing a shine into a rattle can paint job and it actually came out ok!

 

whats the best thing to use for swirl marks????

 

depends on alot of factors...machine or by hand?

 

look away

 

lol starr

 

I just clay barred and used my Meguiar's G110v2 Professional Dual Action Polisher the wife got me for Christmas to get Blaxima all cleaned up, using the Turtle Wax T3KT Black Box Car Wax Kit. Before the wax, I just used Meguiar's Ultimate Compound. The DA polisher is a true blessing! Took me about six hours but it was well worth the time.

Here are the results!

 

hand

 

megs scratch X works ok but dont expect miracles

only way to get proper correction is by machine

 

mequires nxt

 

Wow car looks great bro

 

Meguiar's is easy to get and priced effective(CHEAP), it does work VERY well and remember the phrase...if it goes on easy, it comes off easy.

 

Nice job and awesome Max. Now drop it with Eibach springs.

 

Thanks! It's on the list right after the SRI.

 

Adams!!! Smells the best and the best results
