Question Wax Recommendations For WHITE Truck

My 2003 Screw FX4 is all white. I can find no swirls, no scratches, and the finish feels smooth as glass. I only have 3000 miles on my truck and after doing a search here I am a little confused on which wax would be good to try on my truck. Any recommendations?

Some Z2 zaino would look awsome on that color!

Ditto on the Meguiars Professional line of products. I think they'll do great on your truck. Here's mine after some rubbing (not white though) with a fresh coat of #7 and #26.

Good luck with your truck.

Did you say White?...I recently tried Zaino to see what the fuss was all about... and presto! -a high gloss mirror shine I never got before! It also does not attract dust like the traditional wax

I just ordered 2 bottles of Z2 (Show Car Polish for clear coated finishes). All you see from the picture is 2 coats of it. After the rain storms go away, I will be ready to apply even more coats.

Of all the waxes that I have used in my life time, this product was the easiest to apply and remove. After the product hazed, the effort to remove it was so minimal that even you grandmother would have a cakewalk.

Zaino on white = 6 months of glowing paint.
Meg #26 on white = 1 month of glowing paint.

Is the Zaino a Polish like some have said or a wax and if it is a polish then what kind of protection does it really have. It is my understanding that polish simply brings out the shine and nourishes the poaint while the wax protects it?

The zaino is actually a synthetic polymer or whatever you want to say. Its not a buffing polish that just brings out a shine and offers no protection, and it contains zero wax. it will outlast a regular wax by about double

You all should get free Zaino... as much of that crap (I stress the word 'crap) that you all push, you all must be the leading salespeople for that poo...
