I am have a good friend who works for a body shop who offered to buff the vette out for free, just told me to bring a "good wax". So the question I have is What is a good wax that I should put on?

Thanks for the help all-

Let me be the first: Z A I N O!!! http://www.zainobros.com

I used Zymol religiously for years on my BMW's. Decided to give Zaino a try after my ears began to bleed from forum members talking about it so much!

By far the best car polish I have ever used. Be sure to buy several of the Zaino products that will complement each other, i.e- Z1 (swirl mark remover), clay bar, etc.
You will NOT be disapointed! :cheers:

Welcome to the forum, since your post count is so low, we will forgive you for asking such a silly question.:D Zaino is the best. Check out the car care section and make your own conclusion. Ive tried them all and Zaino is head and shoulders above the rest.:)

Mr Mojo

Another vote for Zaino.

Moving this to car care, where you should get more detailed responses.

Since you specifically asked for a wax reommendation (Zaino is not a wax) you have a few options. First, are you looking for something that is available "over-the-counter"? You should be able to find a variety of waxes at such places like AutoZone and Advance Auto. As far as locally available waxes go, Meguiar's #26 High Tech Wax is well spoken of. You may also want to take a look at Eagle One Wet Wax or Mother's Carnauba Wax. You 'll want to avoid "cleaner waxes" in this particualr situation.

If you are looking for something with a bit more durability (as far as waxes go) One Grand Blitz Wax is very respectable. It is reasonably priced, but must be mail ordered. (Not sure if you have a time restraint.)

Depending on the "look" that you are after, higher end waxes would include Pinnacle Souveran (for a car with a dark finish), Pinnacle Paste Glaz (for a car with a lighter finish). If you do a little research, you will find that there are many different offerings when it comes to waxes, depending on what you are looking for.

If you go to One Grand's website, you can check for local stores (or call their customer care line) that carry One Grand Omega Glaze & Blitz. It turns out that there was a store ten minutes from my home that carried One Grand Products. You'd be hard-pressed to find a better wax than OG Blitz for under $20 bucks.

If you really want to go with a wax go with One Grand's Blitz Wax.

Zaino would be a better choice though.

Another vote for Zaino here... Not too many car polishes give you results like THIS!

As a "new" Zaino user myself, I have to agree with the Zaino crowd. I have never found an easier product to use that has given such outstanding results!! :cheers: :cheers:

If your not looking to order wax through the mail, than stop by your local pepboys and pick up a can of Liquid Glass. IMO it comes second to Zaino. :cheers:

Yup, Liquid Glass has been around for years and is an excellant product imo.

First of, I'd like to say that I've tried only two waxes, Zaino and Meguiars. Both are great, but Zaino (IMHO) is better. Not by a HUGE margin, but it is better. Here's the proof. (more pics on my web page)

Ok, I know this might start a barrage of insults, however, I don't understand why Zaino is such a clear choice here but not at many of the professional detailers websites. I'm a newbie, but have lurked and read quite a bit and actually use Zaino myself, but am going to try something else soon to compare. It seems to me that from most comments Zaino is the best bang for the time spent both with the initial application and the future. However, it seems that to get the best shine possible, a wax job after using a rotary buffer to polish will work the best. However, if you wax a car it sounds like you will have to reapply every month. These are just some of the assumptions I have made from what I have read.

jvanniel: No reason to fear insults...we're all here for the same reason, to get the best shine! You'll hear a lot about this if you're around, but Zaino is non-abrasive (among many other positive things). A rotary buffer with wax will actually smooth out the clearcoat by taking off the layer with all the swirl marks. Sure, that'll give you a great shine...but it also wears down the clearcoat. Zaino's non-abrasiveness will not harm your finish at all, while giving a great shine and UV protection. Also, a lot of what shines in most 'waxes' are silicone oils. Zaino contains no silicone, that's why it's still shiny after a rain...whereas waxes with silicone washes/wears off easily. You can put Crisco on your car and it will shine...and some people prefer that look. I think a lot of us prefer the 'new paint' type of shine that Zaino gives. I've detailed many, many cars, and have done so with many different products. Nothing has the same style of shine that Zaino does...or, at least nothing I've ever used.
