I just waxed my car a couple times this weekend and was impressed with the results.  I use Zaino on my car and was curious what some others use.

Hey Ron, I'm off Arnold, west of Rt. 109.  I've only been there a few weeks but my neighbors are great.  I have family and friends in different parts of Lindenhurst.

That's a good idea.  I noticed a few others from the area since people started updating their profiles.  It would be a great way to see some of the more obscure watches that we have in person.  It would also be a good excuse to drink beer.

Is Zaino really that good? The guys on the BMW forum I belong to RAVE about it - but does it show a noticeable difference over, say, Meguiar's products? If it really is as good as everyone says, I'd like to try it on a new car that has never been treated with anything else. I bought a new G35 Couple the day before I flew to the 2007 Blade Show in Atlanta on June 7th and it's been sitting in the garage ever since! mistake.gif  I may have to race it around the block a few times this afteroon. Nice Zee, btw! hand6.gif My son's favorite car!

I really believe Zaino is that good.  It seems to be very durable as well because I only do my other cars a couple times a year and the water beads off them beautifuly all the time.  I got away from the Zaino for a little while and used Meguiars and I felt satisfied but just last week I got more Zaino and I can definately say it is better.  The best part about the Zaino is you can layer it and it just keeps looking better.  You only need to use a very small amount of product as well so it is easy to work with.  I will say this about the Zaino it is a little complicated to order because of the many different similar products but if you e-mail them they are great, or you can ask me.  The guy's name is Sal.  They just came out with a couple of new products I haven't tried yet and it seems it would cut down on the time it takes to wax your car as well.  There is a new all in one product and a wipe on, no buff polish too.

PoliceDog- Congrats on the new G35, my wife loves them.  Maybe when the G37 becomes available I'll trade up.

I have a very trusted source for automotive detailing products.

The site is: http://www.classicmotoringaccessories.com/

Classic Motoring Accessories is owned and operated by a friend of mine (Terry Freiberg). He started his business years ago with a small, rather unknown product called Zymol. He was one of their big sellers of the wax until Zymol sold out to Turtle Wax.

During the period he was selling Zymol he developed his own car wax called Pinnacle which was the kind of high quality wax that Zymol made before being taken over by Turtle Wax. Terry's newest product is called Black Fire and it supersedes both Zymol and Pinnacle. Look under car care kits.

His site has just about every other kind of car detainling product and/or brand you can think of. So, if you want Mothers or Mequires, he has that too. Look through the articles on the site. They are all very informative.

I personally use Klasse products from Germany. The cleaner wax product is super easy to use and put on/off. It is also sold by Classic Motoring Accessories. Terry recommends putting Black Fire on over the Klasse product to deepen the shine. I haven't tried that yet.

That's the place where I ordered my microfiber applicators and mits and my big blue towels!  They sell good stuff.
