Detailers never use cotton "rags"...

honestly, the best wax I've ever used is the mothers nano-wax.

they even claim right on the box, it's the best wax you'll ever use, or your money back. And I think, especially if you're working with a decent surface to begin with, there is nothing better.

and this was with older Zaino products
They're comparing the zaino with mostly overpriced (since they're commonly known) OTC products and they're "old" also. But like i said, each to their own. I like my products with a balance of depth, clarity, durability and ease of use.

I can say my pee is the best on earth too. It's all marketing especially with big brands like Megs and Mothers since they can take advantage of their popularity.

Multiple coats of P21 Pure Carnuba. Over the top of Klasse All-In-One. Best shine ever.

S100 is a great substitute for P21S. Basically the same thing at half the price.

I'm going to clay bar my MX-5 next weekend. We'll see how it turns out.

Meguairs NXT (3 layers at least) looks good on red. If you want, you can top it with Megs #26.
