So what's the latest word on car polish/wax?
It's been a while since I cared enough about a car finish to wash/wax it regularly. Back then, I was a diehard Zaino fanatic. Nothing else I tried looked as good or lasted as long. It was, however, a pain to buy and pretty cumbersome to use.
What are people using these days? |

Yes. Removing carnauba is a PITA. Everytime i use my Griots Best in show carnauba wax I am pissed at the amount of effort. My picky eyes don't spot a worthwhile improvement.
Synthetic waxes are super easy to remove. I decided to use some old gold class meguire's wax (that was bought on the 190E days) on the MCS and it was a breeze buff off. Looks pretty good too. |

I like Zaino.
Put it on the M3 a bunch of years ago, and have not touched it again since. Water still beads nicely. Yes, a pain, but one weekend (in bits and pieces over the weekend) and you are done for a long time.

I use rejex. Easy on. Water beads like crazy for a month or three.
