which wax do you use?

Agree with the posts above. The key is to buy a good quality wax and USE it. They haven't invented a brand yet that jumps off the garage shelf and applies itself to the vehicle. I find doing a section at a time works best since these beasts are so freakin' big. I have mostly meguir's products on my shelf, but another one to try is the new Nanowax, advertised to fill small scratches and swirls--just did my black 2003--no complaints , works great on darker colors, removed or reduced all the swirls/minor marks and scratches, and very easy to apply/remove.

i just started using dri-n-wash waterless car wash - its hard to beleive but just put it on a dirty vehicle and rub it in - no water needed - beautiful finish and no scratches. believe it or not.

Ive used the Mcguiars 3 step aswell on my other cars.. It does do wonders but jeeze plan on a whole day to get the job done right. It is a bangup product though. Ive also heard good things about Zymol.

Zaino for sure... it's amazing that I still get compliments from the dealers as to the condition/shine on my '99 Expedition (purchased new).

I use Black Fire, The stuff is great on dark paints

I use Meguairs as well, and in between full waxes use the quick detailer. I use it on my motorcycle as well.

Detailing tip similar to using the Rain-x on the chrome to help with bug sticking - Lemon Pledge. Great for removing bugs and protecting from bug guts sticking - doesn't hurt the paint or plastics. I use it religiously on my motorcycles - the headlight and windscreen and paint. The bugs come off much easier the next time around after a Pledge waxing. Imparts a nice shine too.

Zaino ! it's the best, love the way the deep blue shines. Used it on my 84 Eldorado and it looks gooood.:troll:

Currently I use Final Detail, which I bought on QVC. It is a spray-on wax that is practically effortless to apply and remove. It puts a nice finish on any type of paint and really makes the colors pop. The first application on my Ex has lasted since late August, and it still looks great. It actually made the yellow on my wife's Mustang look richer and wetter. Works nice on chrome and even the black plastic trim. Washing, and especially bug and tar removal, is lots easier. And it leaves no white residue ANYWHERE...a real bonus!
