Andrew....The car is very dirty...covered in bugs...I can't stand looking at it with the dirt, and cracked lip....I haven't had the heart to clean it up...I know if I get in I will miss driving it even more

I used Zymol for 15 years. A while back I heard good things about One Grand Blitz Wax in terms of ease of application and durability (I was getting tired of the difficult removal and poor durability of Zymol). I've used it on 2 cars, and like it a lot. Goes on and comes off very easily--apply it to the entire car, then buff off. And it lasts really long. Not quite as deep a shine as Zymol (and doesn't smell like a day at the beach!), but it's the best wax I've used. And about 1/3 the price. Great for a daily driver.

Zaino hands down (if you are willing to do the steps to the full effect)

The wax test is a must read for anyone who cares for their car!

Zaino Brothers are the best by far. Looks really great after you use the clay bar and three coats of Zaino's. I swear by it too! Used all the others on my other cars and I've found that this is the best for shine, depth and duribilitie.

Since it's polymer based, it lasts for month's and does not melt like carnuba...Get the show car kit, it has everything you will need to make that seal grey glow. The claybar treatment prior to polish is a must. Even if the car is brand new, you would be amazed how much smoother the paint feels after clay barring.

I have used Zaino on my BMW's and liked the result but NOT the durability. After the first wash the swirls begin to poke back thru (on a dark car of course).
I have used Girots Garage (sp) to better long term solutions on my dark BMW's (german paint as mentioned above). Yet with the very dry climate of Denver I have to use a misting bottle to remove the dried wax.
All in All they are both great products. THe Zaino takes forever if you follow the steps correctly.
