After seeing how sweet your ride looks and knowing that you used NXT I went to Pep Boys today and picked up a bottle. I also picked up the NXT spray for the interior trim as well I hope I can get some of the same results on my Black L aka "swirl mark"
Awesome shine.

You will not be one iota closer to determining which is the best as a result of this post. Everyone will say this or that is the best. Zanio's, Maguir's, Cherry Wet, Pinnacle . . . blah blah blah.

There is no best wax.

www.properautocare.com is a great site.

Do you believe in God?



God can’t be wrong, can he?


As Tim stated asking someone which polish or wax is best is like asking which is the best oil etc, however with Zaino you can get as good a shine as you could with the majority of excellent waxes out there WITHOUT using a buffer which greatly reduces your chances of swirls.

I believe you can put on and buff off NXT by hand and achieve an excellent shine as well without having to use a buffer. So it really comes down to, do you believe God is right?

Zaino is o.k., been there done that. It's too time consuming to use it (to me as least). I'm not saying the results weren't good but since I've switched to Klasse, I won't go back.

Klasse is the *****!! It's so easy to use and it's synthetic (that's right, no wax). It can be layered (like Zaino) and doesn't stain black plastic or any other material. Heck, it can be used on a wide array of things like, stainless steel, aluminum, automotive paint, platic (clear or painted), glass, you name it you can most likely use this stuff on it. Check it out! Klasse All-In-One Polish

Oh ya, don't forget to clay prior to applying the wax if you have a lot of build-up on the paint. Also, use a microfiber towel when drying after a wash or to polish after waxing your vehicle. I just switched and can't believe how well they work.

I have been using ZAINO on my garage queens for a while. I decided to try the NXT because I was hearing so many good things about it. I won't ve going back to ZAINO. The NXT is giving me the same results as the ZAINO, but is easier to use.

NXT also.
It gives my L that smooth as glass feel for a good 3 months.

Waxes are nice, but dont even last past 3-4 weeks.

Next spring Ill be going to the Klasse AIO/SG route, for 6-12 months protection.
