How often do you wax. Mine helds up good the water just runs off.

It depends how much of a fanatic you are! I can't even count the number of coats of Zaino I've got on my truck. It even sits in the garage most of the time undriven! It's an addiction.

BTW, I learned a new technique that works great. I normally apply a minimum of 2 coats of Z2 at a time. Now I top the Z2 with a couple coats of pure caranuba for extra "wetness" and shine. My cars never looked better! The caranuba helps to cover any fine scratches in the paint that Zaino magnifies....

I thought I was the only person that waxes alot my neighbors have jokes every time they drive by they hsve some dumb commit to make I have an addiction too. Even tho my truck is never dirty. What is the best wax out there and how do I get it I use Zanio it is freaky after a few days water bounces off of it

If you already use Zaino than you are using the best stuff. I use Meguires pure caranuba to top coat the Zaino. It's only like $6 per bottle. Make sure you use a Caranuba WITHOUT and cleaners because they will take off the Zaino.

I put this on my blk 03 and it looks better that new. Its very slick, dirt and stuff doesnt stick. I am very happy about it. I have to wait to see how it holds up.

Most of the car-care sections of magazines say that Eagle One Wet polish is the best. I can attest that it is some real good stuff. However, I like the Turtle Wax with the particular color for the vehicle. I like it mostly because it doesn't leave the white residue that shows up so well on a black vehicle. Also, it leaves black residue in the scratches instead of the white, which only accentuates the scratch. It also provides an excellent shine and beads water for quite a while.

I get my Zaino from Zainostore.com or if there's a local distributor in your area. The Meguires caranuba that I use for a top coat you can get just about anywhere. It's in a maroon bottle and sells for around $6.
