    I wasn't attacking. You did. Live by sword, you died by it. Attack someone else. I could put a grocery list of the products I have used. As we we're saying. Al, comments? Jay

    Zaino is a POLISH. Have you ever seen Griot's products? If I had a digital camera mine would be just AS shiny. Wax still causes buildup. You can put all of the additives in that you want, carnauba is carnauba (the more additives that ARE IN a wax, I won't buy it). Jay PS - Have...

    Refer to the Zymol post, these are "the Zymol" products that are light years ahead of the Zymol products that are store bought. I used both lines and the "mail order" line is way better. Jay

    Yes I have, before THE REAL Zymol system which is just a hair below Griot's, IMO, but I find Griot's to be better. I like ol' fashioned Carnauba wax, sorry. The real Zymol products are mail order. People laugh, but these products are NOT the Zymol products bought at Meijer, Murray's...

    When someone mentions the words Wax involving cars. Car WAX should come to mind. I understand the passion of Zaino lover's, but I like most people buy wax to protect my paint which polish DOES NOT. Jay

    Hold up, People prior to this are asking about durability, of WAX. You're telling them that Zaino is the greatest thing around. It being a POLISH! It is in print: QUOTE]Originally posted by Fantasymon I just did the three step Meguiars (1. Clean, 2. polish, 3. carnauba wax) It...

    Furthermore, Zaino is a Polish not a wax, my buddy uses it. They do not have a "wax". It is polish. There IS a difference between the two. You cannot apply Polish instructions to Waxing instructions. You can put as many coats of polish on your ride as you want. Wax should NOT be used as a...

    And for the disbelievers here is a link for you. Zymol buyers that get it at the local auto store, beware. http://www.hottub.org/~aroe/pitrow/pitwax.htm Oh, Overwaxing, say 4 coats. You will experience hazing, due to buildup. Buildup is NOT good as we all should know. Jay

    XLT their products are the best when compared pricewise and a notch above. I have their starter kit and love it. You get much more than the "hi-tech polymer of the day" and "systems" alone. You aren't alone my friend. Overwaxxing CAN harm paint. You should not excessively overwax. Jay

    faded paint

    THey usually come a spray type lube that used use and keep using linear motions until the "path" is smooth and the bar stops "gripping". Knead the clay and repeat until finished. THEY WORK. Jay

    Zymol - amazing results

    I use Griot's products. I've tried every product under the sun and they are great. Ferrari is their sponsor and if it's good enough for them, it's good enough for me. www.griotsgarage.com They are EXTREMELY competitive, when compared to anyone else as far as I am concerned. Zymol is...

    Is your paint smooth?

    The clay bar when used properly should work just fine. Keep it lubed. I use the Griot's clay bar. It is the best one by far. I purchased their Starter kit for $59.95 and will ONLY use their products from now on. www.griotsgarage.com Jay

    Ford to Cancel Excursion

    Now I'm an activist? 12-14mpg, that is bad regardless of the weight issue. Do you go on trails, besides the boat launch? I have yet to see one on any of the trails. Silver Lake is about the only I'd expect to see one, I've seen cars on the dunes, nothing spectacular there. It is the same...

    My X was keyed today

    I feel you. When I had my F-150. I was walking out of the local Best Buy with a buddy and the wind was very high speed (like 25mph, NOT GUSTS). We watched as this guy in a Chevy Z-71 allowed his door to SLAM into mine five times. He was sitting in the truck and I noticed the dent that...

    ROTATING MY SWAMPERS?

    Iceman, another tip is to rotate with every oil change. I did this with my BFG Mud's on my 96 F-150. Got 49,000miles out of them. Jay That was a daily driver too.
