#5 of 3963 Vivona by marsha7 Feb 15, 2000 (2:06 am)
Have not heard from you in quite a while. Thanks for the advice. Bob

I still read this topic regularly, but just haven't felt compelled to post that often since I am quite happy with my Nu Finish and don't need much further input. I found that doing your own test of your top three or four choices is the best way to find out what is best for your car, paint, environmental conditions, etc. For me, Nu Finish Paste was the hands down winner. Meguiars Liquid Cleaner Wax was next. This is consistent with the findings of Consumer Reports in their test a few years ago. Mr. Vivona
#7 of 3963 For My $$$ by teeburd Feb 18, 2000 (12:25 am)
For my money I recommend "Superglaze" made by "The Wax Shop" and sold at Pep Boys or Autozone. By far the easiest to apply and remove over any wax I have ever used. The results are superior. Also on line www.waxdepot.com
#8 of 3963 Super Glaze by newwestd Feb 18, 2000 (8:39 pm)
I have been using Super Glaze on and off for several years. It is very easy to use and does provide an excellent shine - but I find it does not last too long and must be re-applied frequently. I have found Meguiar's to last a lot longer, albeit with less of a gloss.
#9 of 3963 Another carnauba wax... by peterskm Feb 19, 2000 (10:17 pm)
I have just finishing applying Collinite to my Jeep. I have always liked the look of a carnauba shine. This is my last wax test before I convert to Zaino. If this product doesn't last a few months, Zaino here I come. The shine is very nice (better than Meguiars or any other product I've used). If anyone's interested, I'll give updates on the durability. Kevin

I'm sure lots of people would like to see your updates on the durability, so yes, please keep us posted. Pat Community Leader/Maintenance & Repair Conference
#11 of 3963 Zaino here I come....not yet!! by jcmoya Feb 21, 2000 (12:41 pm)
The best product out there is Malms Formula 10 Polish / Glaze. I used Zaino products for almost 2 years. They are great. As the perfectionist that I am, I expended hundreds of $$$ looking for a better result? Crazy, uhmm!!! Not that I was unhappy with the Z-2, but for some reason I continue comparing, comparing and comparing different products. I have to admit that things got out of control when I started buying products that where sold only by mail or online. After 2 years, more than 30 product tested and aprox $500 invested I found something better than Zaino.....Malm's Formula 10 Polish & Glaze. It is incredible. It is expensive but it is concentrated. The wet look shine is better than Z-2 and also more durable (by far). The bad part is that is hard to apply and to remove (terrible). If you are doing it by hand, make sure that you have plenty of Ibuprofen at home before you start the project. But man!!! the results worth it....If you have any physical condition in which upper body movement and muscle effort is limited, stick with Zaino. Malm's is the way to go for those like me in which perfection is the name of the game, no matter what!!! Zaino users: Don't worry, Zaino still a great product, and after all not many people out there have the shine in their cars like yours. Not until you see yourself reflected in my Black Firebird at the next red light. Sorry, Sal!!!
#12 of 3963 Dawn, clay, etc. by koury Feb 21, 2000 (7:57 pm)
I am new to this discussion and just got through reading 517 posts in Part I, determined to learn how to take care of my new black Lincoln LS. Several of you have recommended using Dawn before and after claying; what does this do that standard car wash doesn't? And for the Nu Finish believers, is that a substitute for the two step process of a polish and then a wax? That would mean a Dawn/clay/Dawn/Nu Finish procedure, correct? Thanks in advance.
#13 of 3963 Nu Finish by vivona Feb 22, 2000 (1:31 am)
koury- Nu Finish is a cleaner/polish/wax, so it is all done in one step. So your Dawn/clay/Dawn/Nu Finish procedure is the way to go.
#14 of 3963 Dawn by newwestd Feb 22, 2000 (4:12 am)
koury - The Dawn removes road grease and the old wax along with any dirt. Car wash is designed leave the wax as much as possible. After Dawn and clay, you will be down to bare paint where your choice of polish and wax can work properly. Good Luck!
