Some good products mentioned in this thread....

DISCLAIMER: I am OCD of my vehicles!!!

Here is my stable....on the trucks, I use the Klasse All-In-One Polish, followed by Klasse High Gloss Sealant Glaze (only have to apply once a year):

and then for my toy car, I use the really good stuff - Pinnacle Souverän Carnauba Paste Wax over a smooth layer of Klasse All In One car polish.

On the boat, I use Collinite Fiberglass Boat Wax #925, stuff is unreal!!!

that wax also gets you a lifetime of refills for free...it's expensive, but over time pays for itself...

ive been a diehard adams user...their buttery wax and americana paste wax are amazing...

i've been meaning to try chemical guys, zymol, and swissvax as well

I was just gonna say, LOL! White is actually a tricky color to work with. Reason being, normally white always looks good, but hard to get to look "Great". So when you do a good job, with good products, it shows. Dark colors, from a distance, tend to look really good, even if somewhat mediocre.

Zymol has waxes like that, that must be melted and applied by hand. Pretty expensive too. Still, cost, labor, and final results considered, you'd be hard pressed to match Zaino. Like I said though, if you want those results, take the time and read his tips on his site, and follow the instructions.

Well I suppose that's better, but then again I don't ever see myself spending $8000+ on wax even over a lifetime lol. Even if you bought $200 per jar Dodo Supernatural, I doubt someone would need 40 of them to complete a lifetime of waxing

I've never waxed my car, or any car for that matter

Just washed it and my arms are dead from scrubbing all the crap off it

ive heard that before...ive also heard that most companies start out with the same grade of materials and each have their own certain blend of products...who knows what the real truth is...ive been happy mostly with their customer service...there was a time in the winter when i ordered some products and got home later than i expected and they all froze...i went to go place another order and the guy had recognized my address and asked why i was ordering the exact same stuff...i told him what happened and they sent me everything i ordered for free...not too many companies do that...i do admit they are pricey, but i havent had problems...i do want to try chemical guys to compare results (longevity of the products)
