Default What car polish do you use?

This is my first post. I am interested to hear what other Corvette guys use for their cars. I have used Mothers and Zynol in the past.

And with that I'll start off the Zaino madness...

I pretty much use whatever Zaino makes/sells...love it!

I like the 3m finesse it ii for a polish as it is great with slight imperfections. As for wax, I have been using Zaino but was encouraged by a detailer to use Meguiar's hi tech yellow wax #26. I am amazed at how well it works and how easy it is to put on and remove. This one is particularly for dark colors but there is several different waxes in this line so I'm sure there's one for every shade.

I've never heard of Zaino? Is it bees wax (carnuba) or synthetic?

I 've tried both..........rejex and zaino. I actually use both. I wax with rejex and top it with Zaino CS. Best combo I have found. Not sure about other colors, but on silver it works great.

Before I got the Vette, I used whatever was on sale, and not too often. After reading posts on the Forum, I went with Zaino products. Very easy to apply and get great results. Also, what convinced me to try Zaino was when I called Zaino customer service the person I spoke with was knowledgeabe, patient, and helpful.

But, then again, the cheap stuff I used to use seemed to get me the same results.

Not yet, but they have it at Walmart here.

I normally use Rejex and Zaino but I'm curious to see how this stuff compares.

Yes, and it looks great. Well worth a try considering the price.
