3M products are marketed more for the proffessional, They have many silicone free products that body shops use. Silicones will cause fish eyes when painting. Overall good products.

I used to use 3M wax on my cars 20 years ago, and have recently switched back to it. 3M goes on very easy for a paste wax and seems to look good and last well.

The common brands don't seem to last as long. I have heard that Zymol is excellent, but only what you get in Europe. What you buy in the states is licensed by Turtle Wax and it seems to be Turtle wax with some coconut oil scent in it. Works just fine, but not what I would call excellent. Leaves your hands smelling nice....

Anything 3m makes is pretty good for the most part. Yet whe you want something to really so call "polish" the paint. I would use the 3 step from Maguires. I do it on my summer car all the time and people give me complements about it.
