Claybars are used to get contaminants that are bonded to the paint. It strips the paint of all wax and polish.

Cleaner Wax will help smooth out the paint getting rid of some of swirl marks, but you will need to apply some wax after this so that there is a layer of protection after you apply this.

Polish are used for adding shine to a car, they will not protect the paint of the car so you'll need to wax after this too.

Wax's are mainly used to add protection to the paint. They will also add some shine to the car.

So here's the steps-Claybar-Cleaner Wax-Polish-Wax, now that's with traditional wax, if you go with Zainos, you're in a whole new ball game.

If you want a more practical wax, use Mothers or Meguires Gold Class

If Zainos didn't exist, the best wax would have to be Meguiar's or Mother's. And Meguiar's comes in a liquid form, it's the same consistency as lotion.

Go to clubrsx.com and read all the posts in the CarCare forum. There's a lot of good stuff there especially from FrostyBC and Homer2. Read every post there is there and you'll be a car wash expert, well sort of.

Kind of funny that Homer2 is a Zaino distributor...also kind of funny that every post there refers to Zaino...That is a great way to market a product: just post it everywhere, and no fees required. One day I will make my own wax....one day...
