*edit, just found you can do multiple applications of wax... does this sound right?

"Your NXT Generation Tech Wax 2.0 is absolutely awesome! We just finished a third application to my son's 2008 CTS and it looks like a black mirror. The black seems to get deeper with each application!"
I don't use meg's soap. I use turtle wax zip wash from wally world its like $5 for half a gal and says 128 washes out of it. Its supposed to have wax in it so I figure it'll add a little every time I wash and dry it. After almost every wash I use the meg's quick detailer spray and it really smooths out the paint to the touch and makes it shine more. My paint always feels like a baby's ass

No joke, one time I saw a mesquito try to land on my car and it just slid right off. Car was dry.

Prior to switching to Zaino for my personal cars, I used Meguires. They offer very good products IMO.

When detailing, I offer people the choice of Zaino, or if they want to spend a little less money, I offer Meguires.

What's the biggest difference between Zaino and Meguires?
