Thanks for the reply, I've been using Zaino and tried Cherry wet wax.. I'll see how it turns out and post pix.. Btw my "L" is black..

 

Cherry wet wax is the only way to go !

 

I love Zaino

 

Hey Scuba, I love Zaino also, but retired now and don't want to spend $100 + to shine my 7 year old truck,, I'll post Pix when I'm done,, so far it looks very good. I did no prep, just washed and am waxing..

 

I've tried many products but the best one so far is Meguiars NXT. It is very dust free. If you want to go all out use meguiars step 1 and 2 before with 2 coats of NXT. I had a shop ask me if my red was a custom paint.

 

Just picked up some Natty's Red wax. Haven't had a chance to try it yet.
I'll post some pics when it's done. Never used the cherry wax!!!!!!

Matt, you truck looks sweet man

OK Guys,, I did'nt mean to use this stuff for a show car finish, but a quick fix for your beater or whatever,, In my sig you'll see my truck done with Zaino... About a year after I bought it new in 2000..

 

Dawn (strip wax), Clay Bar of any brand, Zymol Polish, and finally, Meguires NXT Wax. Works great and Ive actually read on a few forums where guys actually switched from Zaino to Meguires next gen. Now I don't believe that its better as Ive seen Zaino and its great, but if you want a cheaper alternative

 

since everyone is talking about it, why is nxt better than meg's yellow wax?? honestly i dont know why i use it i just tried it a long time ago and have just kinda got in a rut and used it ever since? i dont do a lot of waxing though. but i try and always up for suggestions.

 

Houndog, Any pics of your finished wax job yet? And what did you use?

 

I checked with the Meguiars tech and this is what I did last year:

Meguiars Gold Class Wash

Clay bar

Meguiars Step 1 and 2

2 coats of NXT

To be honest, it wasn't that difficult and I was asked several times if I had a custom paint job. NXT goes on and off like a charm especially when you have a good base.

This year the shine is still there and all I will do is 2 coats of NXT. That's it.

I really can't ask for anything better.

 

i havent really gotten into the extreme detailing thing yet, but i am working my toward that. now work is starting to slack off so i should have more time to do things i enjoy like working on my truck. guess i will have to venture out and try the nxt.

 

I suggested ICE to my neighbor and she loves it. It is less durable than NXT but not staining trim is a big plus. The best one step wax I have tried is Mothers Cleaner Wax. It removes oxidation, fills swirls, and lays down a nice coat of carnuba in one easy step. I haven't had any trim staining problems with it but I am very careful to keep it off the trim.

What's up Vince? Natty's is some good stuff. I have Natty's Blue and it smells good enough to eat...lol Are you going to the next cruise-in?
