Polishes remove fine scratches and bring up the shine. Waxes protect the paint.

There are also wax/polish combos. Ex. Mothers Carnuba cleaner wax.
So what's the ideal way to use both Zaino and wax on a car, or is there?

What's the best waxes out there? Obviously you like Mother's, but what else? Armor All? [img]/images/graemlins/wink[/img]
You can polish your heart out with Zaino if you like. It will look good but will have no protection from the elements.

Zaino is listed as a polish not a wax, so not being a wax you do not get any of the protection that comes with wax.

Best bet, listen to Gerald. Or do as Confrontational does now, use Mothers Reflections. I use it followed by Mothers Carnuaba wax.

Pinnacle (as per Gerald...and he knows this shite), Mothers, Griots, Zaino, Meguires and a host of others ranging in price from $5 to $40 a bottle. It's mostly the same crap....if you buy ANY and apply it appropriately with the appropriate applicators (and never use your car)...it will all be good and you will be the talk of your buds!

OK..... enough please [img]/images/graemlins/bawling[/img]

Ok, I am speechless. No comeback to that at all except to ask, why charming nusance?

Which looks to be spelled incorrectly btw. Atleast that is what spellcheck leads me to think.

For all those giving crap about talking about wax once in a while, you obviously don't care what your ride looks like. If that's the way you think, you should just but a vette and be done with it. Now Snake Bitten's car is what a Viper should look like :thumb:

Re: Just Spent a Mint on Wax!

I remember Kit Wax. I loved that stuff. I went through the 70's 80's dico times when if you had a nice car = getting girls. That shit was always great, but you can't find it anywhere.

If anyone knows where they can get it, I'll pay triple what you pay for it.

Re: Just Spent a Mint on Wax!

We've used Zaino on all our SEMA vehicles, there's no way you'll ever convice me that something else is better. We've tried them all! Even Mothers came by our booth this year and asked what we were using.

Small world. I had your site bookmarked in my "aussi file"

Hell that alone is worth skiping the usual Eat shit and die welcome.

So what brings you to the Alley?

Re: Just Spent a Mint on Wax!

I'm going to be moving my company back down to Lubbock, we're going to be in the new Reese Technology Center. With this advancement, I'm looking to pick up a Viper to screw around and toy with, might even design a few parts for it. I've been an active member in multiple car clubs and I've always found that forums hold the largest collection of knowlage so I signed up.

Re: Just Spent a Mint on Wax!

For the last time........Zaino is not a wax! It is a polish, just look at their site and see this.

Polish = shine and no protection. Just fine if the car never sees the elements.

Lemon Pledge will give you the same fuckin shine and protect even more than Zaino.

If you use your car and it sees the elements, use a wax over whatever polish you want.

So in conclusion, for you posers who's cars never see the elements, use Zaino and be happy. And I also hear the m.org is "your kind of place". [img]/images/graemlins/laughing.gif[/img]

Now how about some non-windbreaker type discussions now?

Re: Just Spent a Mint on Wax!

Agreed - dumped way too much money trying everything last year... Maybe the type is based on what color you have - but hands down - Mothers Reflection is my #1 choice... AND YOU DON'T NEED TO FILL OUT SOME DIPSHIT SLIP ON THE INTERNET AND MAIL IT IN - to get Zaino 28 weeks later...

Anyways, my cars are graphite - and absolutely nothing holds a candle to Mothers on that color... Plus it comes off very easy...
