Well, I went to wal-mart and went crazy in the car detailing aisle. Never spent $30 on wax and stuff before. lol. But I found two new products that work absolutely awesome. I used it on my folks' patriot blue Dodge and I've never seen it look so nice.

Here's the first:

Made the tires look brand new. The shine is unbelievable. A little harder to apply than the foam, but definitely worth it.

This wax surprised. Zymol has always been my favorite, but I had broken the bank enough so decided to give this a try. Comes with an applicator, a microfiber towel, and it goes on and off very easy. Very nice shine.

I was looking at that wax versus Zymol, but decided with Zymol because it was cheaper and had "natural" ingredients. So I tried using my orbital to apply the zymol, and well, it sucked. Had to do it by hand, and the finish was still not nearly as glossy as the Meguiars tech-wax paste that I used before. This nanowax stuff should be about the same as the liquid form of the meguiars tech wax though.

Meguiars Nxt wax has mild cleaners in it to help make it a one step wax process. Before waxing a car, you should prep the paint(this including claying the paint and or using a paint cleaner on it, polish the paint, then seal it with a wax.

Meguiars cleaner wax is another good wax to use if you want a one step wax. :wink:

The tire shine looks like a great product!

Armor all stuff stucks.. slings everywhere.. makes a mess...

Try the Meguires high endurance tire gel.. Much better IMO..

The Nanowax actually got consumer reports #1.. but I still use the 4 step Meguires....
