anyways... I use Zaino polymer sealant and McGuiar's Gold Class. Then finish it off with Zymol spray detailer.

i haven't waxed or washed my car in a while. :( damn school (i'm actually in the operating room right now waiting to "operate". but i digress).
when i'm at my parents, i use mother's carnuba wax.

last time i waxed my cb7.. i used meguiars yellow paste wax.. worked beautifully, great shine... depending how often you want to re wax.. Zymol only lasts about a week or so on cars that are outdoors in the elements. where as meguiars lasts much longer.

Yeah... Meguire's Gold Class is what I use, also... I wax my ryde once a week (on my day off) because the salt air here in Hawaii is a bitch...

^^^ lol... When there's heavy surf, the salt air from the ocean is carried inland and sprays on our cars... Kinda like when they use salt on the roads during the winter on the Mainland (and you drive on them)...
I also use Maguire's quick detailer in-between waxes... Stuff's pretty solid to use on the paint...

IMO from what i have read.. Meguairs is good for maintaining the paint and what not. but doesnt really bring out the shine of the car, not the potential to the max.. ive heard wonderful things about zaino.. that seems to be the winning product..

if you're gonna want to bring out the shine, use a polish and then follow it up with a wax.. typically wax is more of a protectant.
but of course, i'll add my vote for meguiar's

Well, just thought I would throw in my reply here as I have only seen a couple other people vote for Zaino products, but I am a die harad Zaino user that used to use Meguirer's. Zaino is kind of a pain to put on the first time (if you do it the way you are supposed to), but from there adding a coat of polish every now and then is not too bad. Plus, I use their detailer, leather/plastic conditioner, and tire dressing. All excellent products, IMHO. Plus, the tire dressing does not fling at all. Oh yeah, I also use their clay bars and washing soap.
If nothing else, just make sure you never use dish washing soap to wash your car, unless you are trying to strip all the old stuff off to start over new.
