Which wax?

From your experience, which car care products are best at protecting the cheap paint on your Evo?

I own a carwash bring it to me and I bet you paint will look better than new. We use only a certain kind of wax period. you cant find this in stores.

I have lived in the desert for 10 years. I have owned red cars, silver cars, A black custom motorcycle. They all received Meguiars and nothing else. I wouldnt dream of putting any product other than Meguiars on my vehicles.

I also used to use Meguiars. Then I discovered something even better. It has even been proven by independent testing time and time again. Zaino is a show car polish system that shines better, lasts longer and protects better than any other product on the planet. (www.zainobros.com)

no this wax that yall buy from like auto parts stores aren't good for your cars. but i have this wax that is very much the best for your evo or any high end cars its 35.00 plus it come with the pad you need and the wax cloth. believe me if you wash you car right and wax right with this product you will love it and you will see the difference.

I have used Meguiars for years as well. A couple of weeks ago contractors were repainting the water tower out in fron of the parking lot we use where I work. Well they oversprayed all of our cars with this white paint and some sort of clear coat stuff. So they had to pay for all of our cars to be fixed. They contracted a company out of TX that specializes in over spray adn they came out to our houses and removed the over spray with clay bars and some chemical they were using. then they waxed my car to a show room shine...its never looked so good. So I asked the guys what was in the "unmarked" bottle of wax. He kinds smiled and said that he couldn't really tell me....but if he were able to tell me he was say it's "Meguiars Mirror Gloss #26".....I was like, point taken! lol. So I went to AutoBac down in SOCAL and picked up a bottle for like $12.

zainobros products are awsome. def. my favorite so far and with them being about 5 minutes from my house it makes it even easier to pick up the products! there system is a tedious process but it comes out looking insane.

Only Meguiars Nxt Gen for me as well. I even bought the window cleaner nxt gen too. You'll never use a better wax than this and it's rediculously easy to wipe on and off. But it is the most expensive one in the stores.
