Don't buy Zymol at K-Mart...it's not the same thing...a lot of places sell a "knock-off" Zymol.;)

I use a multi-part process (usually once a year), then just apply the last two steps to "maintain" the finish thru the summer months. The vehicle is a Ford SVT F150 Lightning pickup truck (380 hp; supercharged, etc). These products (step 2-5) are applied by a Porter Cable random orbital polisher, with the appropriate pad type. The crappy $20-$80 ones aren't worth a damn, and hand working the products will never produce the results of a random orbital polisher like the Porter Cable.

Step #1  Claybar

Step #2 Meguiars Deep Crystal Paint Cleaner

Step #3 Meguiars Deep Crystal System Polish

Step #4 Meguiars NXT Tech Wax (This stuff is AWESOME! So easy to apply and remove)

Step #5 Meguiars HIgh Tech Yellow Carnuba Wax

Step #6 Four Star Ultimate Gloss Enhancer

The Maguiars products are reasonably priced and produce great results.

ok most waxes are worthless in temp that exceeds 90degree.  so in the summer you would have to wax your car every day .  wax also offers so protection what so ever against the dreaded bird droppings.  if you read the manu waranty it will exclude this.  so you need a synthetic polymer for todays paints.  I use durashine.  takes as little as 40 min to do a whole car and it lasts and lasts for one year and the dreaded , well there is a guarantee that they will repaint the car if it fails to protect against it.  water does not bead when used it just runs off.  there is little water marks as with wax.  and nothing sticks to the car including bugs.  but you must use there wash additive when washing the car.  you can get it on the net maybe around 20.00 for both including shipping.  so now i spend my time driving instead of polishing.  no worry about swirl marks or anything. it is by far the easiest to use i have ever used and i have tried them all including zymol.  It will not replace a clay bar for getting imperfections out of the paint though.  car always looks wet when you use it .  temperature has no affect on it.
