Just got our new '07 GT. What is the best "easy on/easy off" polish to use on the paint? We bought tungsten grey.

My vote's for Meguiars wax spray.

I have used many brands of products over the years and mainly used Meguiars up until about 4 years ago when i discovered Poorboys. It is a great product and unlike Meg's it goes on easy and comes off easy yet gives the same or better results. on top of that Steve is a great guy to deal with and is always willing to help answer any questions you may have.

Also there is a differacne between Polish and Wax. One helps with giving shine and removing flaws such as scracthes and swirls(Polish). The other is for protectionand can also enhance the shine(Wax).

I go back and forth between Meguiar's NXT and Gold Class Paste.

If you are going to try NXT, use a very small amount. A lot of people using it the first time use way too much and it's hard to remove.

Visit http://meguiarsonline.com/forums/ for much more info.

Congrats on the Tungsten - my personal favorite.

I'm using Meguiars NXT wax and Quick Detailer at the moment. But frankly, it seems no better to me than the NuFinish I used to use on my previous car, or the Rain Dance I used to use prior to that.

In my years of experience, all these products are pretty much six of one, half a dozen of the other, and it has more to do with proper application than anything.

Though there IS a difference between wax and polish, as the poster above alluded.

On my black GT/CS been using TurtleWax ICE easy on easy off no white residu and you can use it on all surfaces including the wheels.

By the way here is a great detailers forum to learn a lot. Many friendly folks who are always willing to help and give advise. I have also linked a great informational site that sells detail products.

I've also had really good luck with Meguiars NXT wax and Quick Detailer. I've been very happy with the results.

First wax is the most important. Don't use spray on waxes, they're no good. Get good wax and apply resin/gloss protectant. I use only Autoglym products www.autoglym.co.uk You can't get Autoglym from US (I get them from Europe). Meguiar's are a joke.

Go to www.poorboysworld.com and order:

- Poorboys Polish w/ Carnauba (Blue for Darker cars, like yours) AND
- EX Sealant for post-Wax

Rub in Polish (one direction, don't use circular motion). Let dry for at least 4 hours... I prefer over night.

Polish with Microfiber (circular motion now...)

Apply EX Sealant post polishing and let dry for at least 2 hours and polish with microfiber.

WOW.

i use poorboys Natty's Blue Paste wax and pinnacle XMT line polish.
I will never use anything else, great products...

I have also heard great things about the poorboys SSR polish line.

Carnuba is great. But it doesn't last. Only useful for car shows.

I like using Meguiar's Gold Class as well as NXT and their detailing sprays. If you have vinyl stripes, 303 Protectant is great for those and you can use it on many, many things.

Thanks all! This is my fourth Mustang, and, being older, i can't spend 3 or 4 hours scrubbing pure carnauba on and off the car like I used to. I really just want to use something that is pretty easy to apply and easy to remove. If it means doing it more often, but still making it relatively easy, I'd go for that. The tungsten is a really beautiful color. How hard is it to post pics? Jpeg must be the file format of choice, and low res?

I'm a fan of Zaino.

Very easy on and off. Great shine and water pretty much bounces off the car once your done.

Yes, JPEG file extension is very good for posting pictures. I find the best way to do it is to go to www.photobucket.com and upload your pictures there.....it's free. Once you have them on that site, copy the URL link under your photo. Then come here, click on the top icon (add image) and a box will appear. Paste your link in that box and your photo will show up here.....like my hood picture below;

Nothing but Zaino on my Mustangs!

Jayhawk

Is Zaino available in stores or just mail order (internet)? I've been told there is a product called Liquid Lustre or Liquid Brilliance, which is a pink liquid, which might be a Meguiar's product. Anyone heard anything about that?
