      OTC - I use Meguiars professional products.
      DACP Dual action cleaner polish for polishing
      SFP Swirl free polish for quick clean before a wax
      waxes i use #26 yellow wax or NXT

      I also order from Clearkote. They have awesome glazes and waxes.
      Carnuba moose wax
      vanilla moose for a glaze < that combo will give the deepest black ive ever personally seen.

      Oh and a porter cable polisher is a must for any do it yourselfer detailer.

      Good luck what ever you choose.

      Oh i forgot to add. There is no best.

      Just ordered some Zaino. Not the friendliest customer service I've ever experienced. It is based in Jersey.LOL

      I use Klasse All-In-One as a base coat, then for dark colors I use p21s as a top coat. I haven't quite figured out a favorite top coat for light colors.

      I concur, though, A porter-cable is a must. Been saving up for one ever since I saw how well it worked. Better results and saves literally hours of time.

      asking what's best wax is like asking what's the best mexican restaurant, there are too many choices and everyone has their own opinion

      Zaino gave me a great shine but seems to attract the dust in my opinion. Looks great after wiping it down though.

      Some old timer driving about a $ 150,000.00 1950 Ford Conv gave me a tip one time at a car show. His car was black, straight as an arrow, and probably about as perfect as possible.

      He said all he will use is NuFinish, The Once a Year Car Polish.

      I tried it and its cheap, easy to work with, and did a pretty good job.

      Zaino is great stuff but it's a lot of work. Especially the first application. It's so good I've had it actually bring out imperfections, it can almost magnify them sometimes.

      Have any of you tried Adams Polishes? This stuff seems to be pretty popular on the Digital Corvette forum.

      I'm a big fan of nufinish as a daily driver wax. As far as ease of application/removal and protection duration it's just as good as the more expensive stuff like liquid glass, and lasts longer than any carnuba I've used. Hard to beat for 5 bucks a bottle. I still wouldn't call it "once a year" unless you garage the car when it's not being driven. Here in florida it will bead nicely for a few months when parked in the elements. Still as easy as it was to use it's no big deal putting it on every week if you want. Not a deep shine for a show car by itself, but it makes a great base coat before a non-abrasive carnuba wax.
