Cool Wax On Wax Off... That is the question...

Warm weather is coming and its time to wax... 3 questions...

1. Has anyone used Turtle Wax Ice? (and good?)

2. Is Zaino worth the extra money?

3. Or am I just better of using a clay bar, zymol cleaner wax, and meguirs nxt polish?

Input please...

I have used both, the thing I like more about zaino is that if you get any on the trim, it wipes right off with no residue.

My hood was looking a bit off so I thought I would try the TW Ice on it. 2 pluses are that it can be applied in direct sunlight and it doesn't leave white dung on the textured plastic - in fact they encourage use on the trim. The difficult part is that because it is very transparent, it is hard to tell if it is spread evenly, and hard to tell when it has dried long enough. I'll let you know about the shine after I've driven around for a few days.

A noobs 2 cents..

I have used both Zaino and nxt tech on my cars, The Zaino is Fantastic, but time consuming, the nxt wax is also great, I still think nothing shines like ZAINO, I aslo have heard Frenzy wax is good...
Plus Zaino smells so good!

Funny about the smell of Zaino, I noticed that too, smells like bubble gum or sumthin. Its a little work at first but then easy to maintain. Dont know too mush about the others. What I do know is Its not a wax, the waxes Iv'e used before all seem to leave finger prints and smudges when you touch the car, The Zaino seems to have a hard shell not a greasy film!

I love the Zaino line and have been using them for over a uyear now. The Z2-Pro is a sealant by the way. Some put other finishing products over top of the Z2-Pro, but I just put a few coats on with some Z-6 / Z-8 between coats.

As for the smell... it smells like Cherry to me. Th eZainoproducts can also be applied in direct sunlight. If you use the ZFX additive with the products it will cut curing time to under an hour in the right conditions. Easy on, easy off, no dusting... a great buy at the price. Hell, 1oz can do the entire car.
