Question FAQ request - Finish Protection

2Saavy - Could you add a car finish FAQ? I seem to recall several posts regarding various products that people prefer, Zaino appearing to be the most popular. I have had my car for almost 1 month and need to start thinking about wax/protection products.

Thanks

Phooey on Zaino being the most popular.
That's just WJSOLOMON mentioning it in EVERY post to this forum!
:eek:

Sorry, WJ. Just some friendly abuse.

It's about time for me to get serious about my finish (Spring is near), so I'm all for this FAQ. Some testimonials on some other products would be good too.

Any quality polymer sealant (e.g. Klasse) will last much longer than traditional waxes and give you a good shine as well.

ATG - I've already talked to Sal. He has "friends" in New Jersey, whose initials are "SOPRANO".

I plan on picking up a 6-Pack on the way home tonight, and splash on Coat # 16 on the SC, # 9 on our Pet Bichon, Maxwell.

Thanks to my lavish use of Z-5, now when I brush his Coat with my new Boar's Head Brush, he no longer shows those awful "Swirl Marks' on that beautiful sheen of his.

Pass the "Z's" please!
