white and whiter
Zaino's probably the best. I haven't tried it because I got whole lot other wax like 3M, Zymol, and Meguire.

Currently, out of the ones i used, I like the 3M the best.

I use Zymol....and Eagle1 wipes in between....
These work pretty well to bring up the shine and make the orion blue...sort of...glow. They also seem to make the deep hues come up on the E.....that dark green is just awesome (when not coated in pollen).

I used Klasse AIO and SG then top it off with S100 wax of Souveran. Its worth all the effort. After that, step back and enjoy the shine!

People here are so pretentious that they don't feel right unless they over spend for something.

All the clowns who responded so far couldn't tell the difference between Zaino or Turtle Wax, and thats exactly my point. Go ask the dealer. IF they are honest, they'll tell you to get whatever is on sale at Pep Boys.

I like Meguire's, it's easy to work with and I've always had good results.

Calling people clowns is not cool. Auto detailing is an enthusiast hobby just like modding. Ask any detailing enthusiast to tell you the difference between klasse, zaino, and turtle wax and they WILL be able to!!

Yeah, you can go to the dealer and use their *****ty repackeged wax, or better yet go and buy the 5 day wonder waxes sold at pep-boys. All for you my friend!! Enjoy...

~One man’s opinion / observations ~

Just a suggestion but you could get some good info from ‘The Guru Wax Report” (Curureports.com)

I will tell you this Zanio (a synthetic polymer sealant, even if Zano call their Z2 & Z5 a polish) was voted #1 of all products tested.

~Hope this helps~

I've always had good luck with Mother's products. It's inexpensive, easy to find, lasts a long time and is easy to use. Zaino may be a little better, but I would agree most people won't know the difference and the extra effort required isn't worth it to me. I'd rather spend my time driving my car.

I use Meguiars. I thought the dealer also use Meguiars too. I could be wrong but their products give me great results.
