Time for spring detail! Bought bunch of products *pics*

Don't know what the one guy is talking about saying the NXT stuff from Meguairs sucks. I have used that the last year and is some of the best wax I have used and I have a black car, which can show a lot of marks if not detailed right when the sun hits it.

I do like Zaino products as well, but they are pricey.

NXT and Meguiers are good for over the counter products. The Turtle Wax ICE stuff sucks, it might look ok at first, but it wont last a couple days.

Here is my arsenal:

The NXT stuff is real nice.

Its pretty good considering it can bring a lil shine to my shitty earl scheib paint job with no real clear coat.

yeah that is what i thought.. not sure why that guy said it sucked.. I have read plenty of great reviews on it so I am confident with how it is going to come out..

Zainos are kinda pricey yeah but I was looking at one of the kits which was pretty cheap- 120 bucks I think for almost everything that you need really.. everything else are extras which means they are not required.

If I had the dough and wanted to buy some products, I would just buy one of the kits by Zainos and call it a day..

In my opinion, leather cleaner, conditioner, car wash, wax, claybar, and polish should be from Zainos for best results..

but for window cleaner, tire shine, and wheel cleaner; any products will do.. like I said it is just my opinion.. I loved the armor all extreme tire shine, but today I decided to give ICE tire shine a try so we will see how it comes out..

nice stuff you got there! must be into detailing?

Thanks for saying ICE sucks lol.. well even if it sucks, I am going to use it, sorry bud..

But NXT 2.0 wax should seal it up pretty good and make it worth a while..

The NXT stuff is real nice.

yeah hope it will come out real good on our vehicles

I disagree on some of the the stuff thats bolded. I've never used anything Zaino, but any wash is fine as long as it lathers well. Ive also used interior products from a few different companies and they all got me the same result, Dark trim, or a clean shiny dash. Couldn't distinguish between any of the results tbh.

The only ICE product I use is their wash. I bought a gallon of the stuff for 5 bucks from GTM. Lathers really nice.

I dont like their polish though. Makes little difference.

Duragloss products are the greatest, especially their price and availability.

Ive used the NXT in the metal can...works good to me.

Then again ive never used anthing but meguiars, mothers, and NXT.

Just seems like Zaino costs way to much....as soon as you pull out of the driveway that $100 you just spent on that detail is gone.

I prefer detailing my car for $30 or less.

Check on the trunk of the white car. Autozone detailing FTW

The nice thing about zaino is its durability. If applied correctly it will last all year.

I hate that Ice Wax stuff with a passion...

Zaino Bros. FTMFW...it lasts for a long time and the vehicle shines brilliantly if done correctly...

Zaino FTW!

 

[got_focus? 10+ year member]

what zaino products did you use on that mustang though?

Clay bar, AIO, and a coat of show polish

And I would be weary of taking advice from someone who says that they put on one coat of "polish." //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/wink.gif.608e3ea05f1a9f98611af0861652f8fb.gif

//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/fyi.gif.9f1f679348da7204ce960cfc74bca8e0.gif Zaino does not make a WAX. All the protection products they sell are polishes. Don't believe me? Call Sal and let him know that you are using his "wax". I made that mistake once.........

The nice thing about zaino is its durability. If applied correctly it will last all year.

The best thing about zaino is that if you use their car soap, the car will look freshly detailed after every wash. The shit is just plain amazing.

Zaino FTW!

In all reality, Zaino isn't that much more expensive. You use very VERY little product with each application.

I do not like meguairs I prefer mothers. Also you need to pick up a mothers clay bar kit and after washing it clay it before you put down wax. The clay will take all the bad stuff out of the paint that has been gathering there for god knows how long. And it will come out like this.

I like how you black out the plate in the after pic but not the before

 

[JarvisB 10+ year member]

^^you got a nice result thats for sure.. especially when using some OTC products.

BTW, I already have gotten claybar and I plan on using it as well.. thanks for your advice
