I'm sure some will have strong opinions on this, but most things don't live up to their claim when compared to super cheap alternatives that work just as well or better. Water spot remover vs vinager and water mixture...etc...
Who can enlighten us with a good alternative to Zaino for us lazy owners?!  |
If you wont something OTC (over the counter) go to your nearest Auto
parts store and Pick-up some Mequires 2.0 Tech wax..it has some fillers
in it that will hide some of the swirls and being that it is a sealant it
should give you atleast 3 or 4 months of protection.From what I have
heard, this is some of the best OTC stuff you can get. Now sometimes
you can find Meg's #26 pure carnauba in stores that I know from
experience has a great look, but since carnauba's dont typically last as
long, and your lazy
I dont recomend it..Also IMO a sealant will do a
better job at making your yellow paint pop than a nuba..You really
should look into the professional line,you might spend more but you
will get better durability and longer protection...Here's a few from
a member's post on AutoGeek were you can buy most of this stuff.
Based on the goodly number of testimonies I have read over the past year and limited personal experience, here are some suggestions for the "best" carnauba waxes and synthetic sealants under $250 (retail):
Carnauba Waxes:
$10-$15: Meguiar's M26 Yellow Tech Wax, Collinite 845, Optimum Car Wax
$15-$20: Natty's Blue, Natty's Red, Clearkote Carnauba Moose Wax, Collinite 476, Harly Wax, S100
$20-$30: Collinite 915, DP Max Wax
$30-$40: Lusso Oro, P21S
$40-$50: Pinnacle Signature, P21S 100%, Victoria Concours Red
$50-$60: Blackfire Midnight Sun, Chemical Guys 50/50, Chemical Guys Pete's '53, Wet Obsession

$30-$40: Wolfgang Deep Gloss Paint Sealant, Menzerna FMJ, Chemical Guys Jet Seal, Four Star Ultimate Paint Protection
$40+: Why is it we are willing to pay so much more for a carnauba wax than a synthetic sealant?

$10-$15: DuraGloss 501, AutoGlym Super Resin Polish
$15-$20: Optimum Poli-Seal, Jeff's Werkstatt Prime
