Zymol is the best wax on the market.. It is a little on the expensive side, but it is well worth it..

I saw several months ago that Consumer Reports rated it as the best car wax as well..

And it works ESPECIALLY well on darker colored cars and trucks..

I like mothers. They have a 3 step system that will remove oxidation, seal the finish, and their carnuba wax is awesome! It'll make your truck look great!

Even better, try Zaino (www.zainobros.com) I used Zymol for years and thought it was great until I tried Zaino.

Zaino. I'll say it again...Zaino.

I've got a black truck, and it is by far (from my experience anyway) the best stuff out there. Quick, easy...and the results are awesome.

------------------
* 2000 F-150 XLT Black FS; 5.4L
* 4x4 ORP
* 3.55 Limited Slip
* Stepups
* Sliding Rear Window
* 6-Way Power Seat
* Remote Keyless Entry
* Lund Trident Bug Shield
* Custom Exhaust
* Fumoto Oil Drain Plug Valve (a must for do-it-yourselfers!)
* Wise Bedrug

So many mods, so little cash! On the up side, no wife to create a filibuster.

I've used zaino for a while now. Though I felt it did not last as long as I would have liked, AZ sun, you will not be disapointed. Go through all of the steps and finish with multiple coats of the Z2. Its like butter.. I mean GLASS.

I used Zaino products since I got my Vette over a year ago. Best stuff I've EVER used. Get it. You'll love it.
