Im about to order some Zaino as I have used it before and loved it..Im using some Autoglym hi def carnuba right now...thinking about ordering a sample kit of the Dodo Juice supernatural..what do you use?

Zaino is good if you like spending a lot of money to have your car look like saran wrap.

Dodo Juice...too much for me to even bother with.

Autoglym HD is actually pretty good.

I hear lots of good things about Collinite too. I wouldn't mind trying some Zymol Carbon either.

I have tons of Meguiar's though. That's about 95% of what I use.

I use Zaino.

The older formulas of Zaino had the issue with the saran wrap effect. The newer stuff is a lot better especially when you combine it with the Z8 Grand Finale Spray.

That is good that Zaino fixed that problem! I never heard anything about an "updated" product.

What's the Autoglym "for dark cars?" I don't follow AG too much as it is a bit harder to get a hold of around here.

The Zaino warehouse is literally 25 minutes from me. But its not open to the public and there are no discounts to be had.

Always wanted to try it. But boy is it expensive.

I don't wax the exterior since Ziebart treats it with Diamond Gloss but I do use Mopar wax around the doors and under the hood where Ziebart fears to tread.

Or else I just use Tutrtle Wax polishing compound and wax.

Meguiar gold class or Turtle ICE is what I'm using now. After every car wash I just spray some Turtle ICE detailer and wipe it off.

would you recomend the Turtle ICE spray ???

darthroush · Post by **darthroush** » Wed Sep 01, 2010 8:00 pm

I know people who use ICE on trim, since it doesn't turn it white. You'll have to use the spray much more often that a regular wax.

It probably works alright. Turtle Wax quality, IMO, has sort of dropped off anymore. For example, their rubbing and polishing compound. I won't even use that junk on my 25 year old truck. It makes the paint look like crap on there. I've seen what that stuff will do to BC/CC paints. If it works for you though, use it. That's the important part. Find what works for you, and using it. Try it out!

I use the ICE spray on my satin black parts of the car, works very well to keep them nice and deep black.
