I tried it for the first time this weekend and was very pleased with the results. Threw a coat on after a coat of Meguiar's cleaner wax and it really made the paint look deep on our dark trucks.

Very easy to apply and it rubbed off fairly easy as well.

2 thumbs up!

Not that you can really tell from this crappy picture but it really made my black look nice:

Her Sonic Blue really turned out deep. Wish I had a sunlight angle picture on the 'puter though. Much more evident:

Looks good!

Don't think I've used that product though...but who knows. I can't keep what I have in the garage straight...

Thanks!

Just mainly curious if anyone else has used it and what they thought (durability, etc). The only polish I've ever used before that polished off easier was in my friend's detail shop and it was in an unmarked bottle so I don't recall what it was.

Looks like this... Got a bottle free from a guy at work who won a whole case. Figured it was worth a shot...

Any opinions? What do you think of its durability? I was impressed with how easy it went on/ came off but that also scared me that it won't last too long.

I can't even remember how long I've been using that stuff but I've never had any problems and it seems to hold up for a pretty long time. I'd recommend it to anyone.

Used to use it exclusively when I worked in a body shop. No silicon additives = good in the event of a repaint or retouch. It's an excellent wax, one of the best I've ever used. Try applying it to a wet car or with a damp rag.

I'll have to try it. This past time, I used a foam applicator and kept it real damp. (Dunked it and wrung it out every few mins)

It doesn't last to long in the elements, it works good for a car that sees sun but no rain. It will bead up when it rains but you will have to apply it at least once a month and maybe more when the salt flies.. Zymol makes a very good wax that lasts very long.

Zaino's nice, but there's like 8 steps to it so it takes for ever to finish a car.... There's better/less step product's out now I just can't think of the names off the top of my head since I hardly ever wax my car's.... There's quite a few detailing sites out there if your intrested in all that..

Ive heard alot of rave reviews about Zaino on Corral, anyone try that stuff?

I was given Race Glaze by the shop that painted my car and I like it alot(lasts a decent while and VERY easy to apply/remove). I used to use Zaino but I cant afford to keep up with that. Zaino only really needs 4 steps and each time you apply it, it enhances the prev application. I've had amazing results using Zaino and RG for a time.

I new a guy who swore by this stuff called butter wax. It actually looked like and had the texture of butter, and gave the car the wettest shine I've ever seen. It was $16 for a 12oz bottle.
