Zaino Brothers is the best stuff I have come across yet. Pricey, but the truck wasn't exactly cheap. I believe it can only be ordered through the internet..

I have to go with (believe it or not) Prestone synthetic wax. Prestone like the anti-freeze. You want to talk about shine? Wow. I think my '99 will shine just as bright as anything else out there. I do the windscreen and bumper, too. Dead bugs just wipe off during a bath.

Anyone have any info on a "hard wax". I have a black superduty and it will scratch when I dry it if I'm not really careful.

Do you mean like turtle wax?

What is the difference between cleaner wax and normal?

Zaino is the best wax I have used for longevity. I am going to put it on the truck the next warm weekend where I don't have to do yard work (I need a whole day for the clay + polish + wax cycle).

Can you clarify / expand on this statement a little? It certainly runs contrary to everything I have learned over the years.

Are you serious?!?!? I've been looking for an alternative becuase there are little white spots all over my X. How much did you pick this stuff up for?
