There are TONS of "better" products out there. Klasse, Blackfire, Pinnacle, Menzerna FMJ just to name a few. Of course, this all depends on your criteria of what "better" is, but many products enjoy the durability of Zaino, and many produce a deeper, wetter shine ("better" in my eyes, but maybe not in others' eyes)
I have heard good things about klasse but nothing special about the rest you listed. But beyond them I have heard poorboys, wolfgang, and Enzitte are good. Mainly poorboys and wolfgang though.
Even you coplimented me on my car. Others have as well. Not bad for being a "dark color" outside 24/7 in Florida where it rains every other day and only washed 4 times in 5 months. </font>[/QUOTE]Since other stuff better then Zaino was reccomended. Just wondering what you reccomend still? I got a decent paycheck today, might be willing to try something new.

I am really interested in NXT now. I use Zaino and because i live in NJ and its a pain to get it here, I am going to try out NXT sometime soon. I do really like my Z6 though.

Zanio isnt the wax to top all waxes like some people on this board think it is... go read a detailing message board and you will see that Zanio is overpriced poop in a bottle compared to other waxes. I, like most others on higher end detailing sites, don't like the plasticy finish Zanio gives off... I prefer a deep wet shine as opposed to the colored plastic look. Unless you want to really take it up a notch and order some high end off shelf waxes... NXT is perfect.

Protection and last-step products (ie waxes, zaino/sealants/etc.) mean sh*t without proper prep.
For prep, I HIGHLY reccomend you use a porter-cable dual-action polisher with Menzerna polishes. I've yet to find a better product to work with the porter cable - and the results are immaculate. You will be amazed with the results.
Read up a bit here for some pretty good advice on it http://www.properautocare.com/usporcabpol.html
Also... have you checked out www.autopia.org yet? Great site for learning about new products and how to use them.

Part 4: Suspension Mods, Tires, Wheels, Headers and other Cool Stuff.
