I just love your invisible grill/floating FORD emblem pic Tim.

What happened to all the Cherry Wet Wax users. I still use that. I haven't found anything that goes on or comes off easier than that. I tried some of that turtle wax high gloss stuff, It sucked big time.

I may try the Mequires nxt. But still can't beat CWW.

Correction to the caption above: I had just washed the truck after installing the Grillcraft grills. At the time, it had not been waxed in months.

I'm always skeptical of a wax that says it stands up to the elements. Try driving up here through the winter and my guess it is no different than anything else out there.

I've used Zaino for the past 7 years and it never fails to hold up very well. I put about 3 coats on in the fall before winter and there is still some protection there come the spring. I don't find it difficult to put on and it works well. Any time there is a competition between wax and winter road salt, the road salt will win 99% of the time. I don't think you can fool anyone on that.

I am however, interested in checking out the Klasse stuff as I already tried the NXT stuff on my wifes car and found that it didn't last as long as the Zaino coats on my Bolt.

Nice shots 01 XLT! You got the right angle, lighting, and good background in the reflection pics

I have to admit the synthetics (Zaino and Klasse) have the best shine/reflection that I've ever seen. I've used a lot of waxes and synthetic waxes but these two take the cake. Although, the NXT seems to be pretty good and have a good following as well.

Thanks

I am going to try the Menzerna stuff on my SVT Focus, since it is also silver it will let me know if I want to use it on my Lightning

I personally prefer NXT, I've tried Zaino and several others and I love the way NXT feels, how easy it is to apply and remove, and the look it gives my truck. NXT lasts longer than normal waxes but not quite as long as Zaino. I love NXT though.
