Default Latest & greatest wax?

So it's been while since I have looked into this stuff... i think Zymol sed to be awesome. But i'd like to know what are some of the best rated wax's and protectants out there? Anything amazingly strong and resistant?

It is not the greatest, but I use Meguiars Gold Class now. When I run out of the stuff, I'll probably get Adam's. I've heard Zaino is excellent too.

definitely like my poorboys products... most anything will be pretty good.

on a side note, what's the shelf-life like with these products?

Zaino is good but a little pricey.

Poorboys is also good, their EX sealent is extremely easy to use, even in direct sunlight, and looks pretty good. Durability isn't the best, though.

Meguiars NXT 2.0 is amazing for the money. The first version was great but 2.0 is better in all aspects and durability should be 5-6 months.

Mothers FX Synwax and Reflections lines are both excellent as well.

Lots of good options out there!

I use Zymol and love it. DER Shiny Stuff, Zaino, Adams, Poorboys, Turtle Wax Platinum, and Meguiars. All are great stuff. Anything that uses the multiple compounds is going to get best results. You're conditioning, polishing, protecting, and sealing your paint. All depends on the money and time you want to invest in the condition of your paint.

zanio's is good if you have a garage kept car and like three days to do it.
It will come out looking like a candy dipped apple. but it take way to much time to do it right.

3m make some good ****, and the machine polish is great if you have a d/a orbital.
you can make your car look way better then the zanio if you know what your doing with a machine.

also for small scratches you can't beat meguirer's scratch X for quickness and ease (it's in a tube and you apply it by hand)
