Well I only have 2 coats of Meguires NXT paste wax on the car. I used a clay bar before waxing the car. Turned out pretty good. Very reflective. Unfortunately the only pic that shows just how good it looks I am not allowed to post, since my wife is in it and she refuses to let me posts pics that she is in :bang:

I also chopped the antenna down to 12" today. If only my side louvers had arrived.....

I have used almost every wax product I can get my hands on, however I have not used Zaino's. For the price of the meguires stuff and the end result I think I will stick with it from now on. I went to a car show today that had over 500 cars, however, I didn't know about it until it was too late to register. A lot of people left the car show to go to the parking lot where my car was parked to take a look at it. I thought that was pretty cool.

Did it get shinier the more coats you applied? I noticed a bit of a difference when I added the second one. Just not sure how much is too much with this stuff yet.

That's what it's all about John.

Good job.

Using the NXT paste wax for now John and it has 3 coats on it but I get a few washes in between before the next coat goes on .It seems shinier as it went along but that could just be me .
I tell ya this site has more ways to spend my paycheck but its worth it

here is a pic to show the amount of reflection I currently have. After a few more coats it should be better.

Edit: No those are not my legs, they belong to my wife and my little dog likes to look at his reflection as well

That is exactly why I didn't buy Zaino's. Sure I have not seen it used in person, but, for the price I am pretty happy with the results of the NXT and I only invested a total of $30.00 for the paste and some new microfiber towels.

Hey Pete, who knows, someday I might go to a car show in your area so we can compare the 2

John, car looks fantastic!! To truly compare we need Steve to Zaino his sonic blue. Its hard to compare waxes with different colours.

Wow, you car is darn low. I also wish someone offered a good deal on torque thrusts for the 05 up here.
