Wax

I've been using Liquid Glass for 18 years. Have tried others, but nothing works like the Glass.

I like Meguire products. The Meguire NTX works great for me.

Hmmm "Best" is subjective. I have tried Mothers, Mequire's, even Turtle wax (it wasa gift). Any top name brand is good. I have found the easiest to use and longest lasting for my F250 SuperCab is this suff.

I have had 4 black vehicles and hate swirl marks. I tried zaino followed the directions and was not impressed. I used the claybar then put 2 coats of swirl remover then 2 coats of polish and still had some oil looking marks on the vehicle. Also i am starting to see swirls in the paint now. I know alot of people like zaino but there has to be something better or a trick to using this stuff. asinatras truck looks great with zaino so i dont know if i did something wrong or there is some trick. I may just go back to meguires# 26. Worked great in the past.

I vote for Zaino. Maybe the last post did not apply it correctly. (Sounds like perhaps you missed the Z1 or ZFX step.) NXT is good, but does not have the long lasting durability as Zaino.

I use clay magic clay bar.... and then Meguires NXT or Eagle 1 NANO wax.... both are good products.. and smell nice.. the Zaino smelled like ***... and is too hard to get in my opinion... I can walk to an autoparts store, and buy either of the above mentioned products...
