The real Zymol is AWESOME but expensive.

The Meguier's Profetional Line is very very good and economical.

No one mentioned Liqued Glass. It is not wax but a polymer/sealent. Works AWESOME and costs like $15 at Pep Boys. Seriously for the price this stuff is great and un-beatable. Like the name implies, when you are finished, your cr looks like it is made of molded glass. NICE STUFF.

There are many waxes out that are very good. Pick the one you like and is easy for you to work with. What I like may be different from what someone else does. But the bottom line is make sure you wax your car.

3m imperial hand glaze is ok, 3m finesse-it II is the best... use a high speed buffer (not orbital) to get scratches and other crap out of your paint.. then use zymol HD-cleanse...that is the isht!!

then i use either one grand blitz or zymol carbon wax. works great..

another thing is to make sure you use a car wash soap that won't remove the wax.. i use the zymol car wash, my wax will last 4-6 months.

Yeah, Imperial Hand Glaze is a polish to be used before waxing. If you use it every time you wash your car and don't wax after you have no wax on your car.

I do everything by hand. Buffers and clay bars make make it look good but they take layers off the surface and I want mine to last.
