Zymol vs. Nu-Finish "once a year wax"

I use Zymol, but noticed that it washes off after just a couple of car washes.

What are your opinions on Nu-Finish? Is it really once a year? Is it too harsh for the paint? Please share your experiences.

Stay away from cheap products like Nu Finish. Sure, it's durable, as long as you don't care about how your car looks. Personally, I wouldn't use this junk on my wife's car.

rejex is the wax to use

I just purchased a 2006 sl500. It is Black and a ***** to keep clean.
Rejex is a great product. I've been using it for a couple of years on other cars. It gives a great shine and bugs and other grime comes off easily, plus it's easy to apply, just apply let it dry and just wipe off. No buffing.

Do you mean it can do something like harm the car's finish? So far it has not shown any negative effects.

Why do otherwise sane people continue to use products other than Zaino?? It is the best- once you try it you will appreciate the difference.

Go to zainostore.com and order the show car kit. You'll have it by the end of the week.

Sure, it costs more, but your SL did too.

No, I'm not saying that. I don't really know if it will do any damage. But I do know it doesn't do a good job at making your car look good. It does not give a deep shine like a better product would. It's also not any easier to apply. I would say with this product, you get what you pay for.

I agree with you. Zaino is the best stuff I have ever used. It give me the type of shine I want, it it lasts longer than some other products. There are other products out there that are good though. But from all the ones I have tried, I like Zaino the best.
