Post Wax

Would like the opinion of those who have used both Zaino and Cherry Wet Wax. Which do you prefer and why? Thanx

I swear by Zaino. Pricey, but if you care about your truck you'll pay it. (119.50 for all the stuff I got.)

Zaino is good stuff.

Liquid Glass is $20.00 a bottle. I used 7 bottles after stripping all the wax off. I took a full week and did it right(God help me)...

For me the cherry wax looks the best and is one of the easiest to use. everybody has their favorite polish or wax to use for the best results. I still use Zaino and Meguiars on my everday vehicles but for my L and R the cherry wax is it. later 95rcobra

High Roller and Hammrhead, I looked all over for other ways of buying the very wet cherry wax but came up empty. it is not sold in stores and from I understand only comes in 1 gallon sizes. there are 2 ways to get it. first you can go to the website of Coats products who makes the stuff. it is www.coatsproducts.com. they sell it on their website for 23.00 a gallon. no phone orders you have to use credit card online to purchase. the second way is from Auto Chem systems in Hawaii. I paid 30.00 for the gallon and it was shipped 2nd day priority so I got it real fast. Ask for Martin Fowler at 808-672-8958. one gallon is a lot of wax and will last a long time. I waxed my L twice with it and have used very little of the wax. If anyone finds other places to buy cherry wax please let me know. thanks 95rcobra.

I called Coats from the phone number on their website. I ordered by phone, sent check, product is on the way. Also ordered their claybar kit.

I just used Liquid Glass for the first time and I'm very happy with the results but at the last car show a guy with a daily driven 98 camaro SS started talking to me and singing the praises of zaino. Well after he showed me his car that's 3 years old (and Black) with no swirl marks and a very gorgeous shine I think I'll be ordering some zaino. He's tried them all and says nothing compares to it, he also said it's a very easy wax to remove. How much do you think I could get for a half bottle of Liquid Glass on Ebay?
