Been using *The Wax Shop* products for years. Easy to apply(take off) and their "Safe Cut" is a great finishing fine compound after going through all the processes of painting a car.

I'm very happy with the Pinnacle Liquid Sovereign. And doing their Crystal Mist inbetween really shines it up.

I switched to Zaino and am absolutely thrilled with it. I just saw an independant comparison on line recently( I can't think of the report name right now) but they picked ZAINO as the top dog for synthetics. For carnauba waxes it was something like PS-21 or some name like that(never heard of it before, so it eludes me now)

[QUOTE]This is a joke, right? Is there anything other than Zaino? I can't name one person that has used Zaino and gone back to anything else or kept looking for something else. Possibly the only negative of Zaino is the cost and you can't just go to pepboys and buy it. But great things don't come easy or cheap. That's not to say it isn't easy to apply though....it is the easiest I have ever used to apply (note, I've never used a spray).
Just my $.02. I'm sure many others that have used Zaino will agree.

If your looking for a quick spray, i recommend Mother's "Showtime". For using in between washes & waxes, gets rid of light dirt and gives a heck of a shine (see sig).
Takes 15-20 min to do the whole car, less time waxin' - more time drivin'. :steering:

I've tried them all from Rain Dance to J-wax, to Nu Finish, to Zymol, to Blue Coral.....and the winner:

Zaino Bros. The wettest, slickest, deepest finish I have ever had. I have had people in my club specifically ask me how many coats of clear are on my car.....there is none.
