what a liar!!!

I've done a bit of research on teh interweb, noone had said anything nice about the Ice stuff, I've been curious about it. My Zaino went crappy on me, one became too think and the other too runny, not sure what I did wrong, I kept it in the house. I may have left it in the garage for a day or two, but not for long periods of time, I guess that little bit of time was enough to ruin it. To me you have to apply it frequently, but that might be the difference between a wax and a polish? It DOES do a great job though. It's just very $$$$$$.

It's been raining so much, not sure how the S100 is working out, but I think that's the new brand of wax I'll be using, it goes on easy and comes off easy, so far very durable on my daily. Of the times I've washed it, it beads right up, even after all that rain.

I also really like Meguiars, I might think of switching to the Gold Class, heard alot of positive things about that line. Not sure yet.

Anyone else tried Adam's Product? I'm curious about it.

Mine's been in the garage since I bought it earlier this year, no problems here with mine running or being too thick. Did you put some ZFX in it?

The Roush is perfect for Zaino in my case. It stays in the garage and isnt daily driven. I guess if it's out in the elements all the time it doesnt last as long. You do have to apply it more frequently than a conventional OTC wax, but it's made to look better and better after multiple applications. Most people dont want to take the time or effort (which is understandable), but I get compliments all the time on how shiny the ride is when I do take it out. To me, it's worth it and it lasts me a long time.

I use Meguires NXT on the Yukon and my wifes car and it lasts a pretty good while. It really brings out the red in my suv, try that one.

No, I would use the ZFX in the little bottles that they sent me, then add the product, use it, then wash it out.

I use a whole bunch of products. To be honest, the GT hasn't gotten the good treatment like my past Mustangs have because I simply have no place to do it. I have Porter Cable with brand new pads sitting at my parent's house, but since I live in the barracks on post you get the picture. The GT is wearing Meguiar's NXT right now. When I go home it get Klasse AIO topped with Poorboy's Natty Blue. Spray detail I use Griot's Garage Speed Shine, wash I use their car wash and wheel cleaner, probably the best I've seen yet

When you get back, you're more than welcome to use our front lawn for detailing.

If you got swirl marks from the wax you had a dirty towel or stuff on your car. I use NXT and love it!

Update on the Harley wax - it lasted through three weeks of straight rain and two washes. I gotta say, from everything I've heard about Zaino, this stuff is better. I think I've even converted a former Zaino user.

No, three weeks of straight rain. Read, Timmy. It's been on for about two months. The Civic hasn't even been washed and it still looks good and beads up great.
