i hav tried many different kind of wax like turtle wax, once a year wax and other kinds but just bought zymol cleaner wax. i heard its suppose to be the best one and it does everything...shine, cleans, remove swirl mark and other marks, and protects. well i was wondering if anyone has a comment about it and or kno if any other kind is better. thanks!

You might read the thread about Wet Paint, that stuff looks pretty sweet.  Im going to use it on my car, Im just waiting for some warmer weather.

No wipe on wipe off product will remove swirl marks very well except for Scratch X and it's a pain to use. Some have fillers that hide lesser marks for a short time. I prefer Wet Paint because of it's extreme ease of use, the knock out shine, and it also acts as a sealant. Wax will last a few weeks whereas a sealant lasts for several months.

Folks need to understand the the Wet Paint Combo Pack will do an Accord sized car about 15 times. That's only about $2.00 per application. Since it works on windows, wheels, plastic, or any non porous surface you don't have to buy additional products. I think it's great stuff.  It is not for interior aftermarket tinted windows.

I would reccomend Zano Bro's.. It comes in many different steps and does an amazing job. Best thing is its not a "wax" its a ploimer (sp) .I love it dirt and grime comes off soo much eaiser, water just beads and rolls off.

Although I've never used Zaino I must agree that it is one of the best finishing products.. To me the downside is the cost but I could certainly be wrong. If the finish has a great deal of marring, spiderwebs, and wash marks, all the Zaino (or anything else) won't do any good until the suface has been compounded/polished in order to prepare the surface. The prep is the key.

i just washed my car and used the Mother's Clay Bar Paint Saving System. Now my car looks and feels new! no more smooth sandy feeling. Its also really! shiny and after letting the wax sit over night. I would recommend it to everyone. No offense to all you Wet Paint users but this is WAY Better than Wet Paint!!

I've had good results with Rejex...easy on and off, plus the shine is first class.
