Best Wax/ Detailing for Alpine White 550i
#1
I am curious as to what would be a good all in one car cleaning/waxing product for an alpine white 500i.
Also, what are good products for cleaning the interior/leather/carpet and windows as well?
I've heard a lot about Zaino...If I go with them, what products do you guys suggest?
Should I do a full detail job once I've taken delivery of my car?

for waxing i personally use meguiars unless i take my car to someone to detail/wax it when im feeling lazy. ive heard a lot about zaino but i never got a chance to try it, but the results look amazing and it is highly recommended. for the interior i usually just wipe it all down until its clean with armor all wipes, and just windex on the windows. gets the job done. good luck

I've been using Zaino for years and it really has one of the best reflective shines I have seen, considering I've used almost everything that is available on the market...It is all I use.... But, the trade-off is that you have to like waxing your car, because I tell you, you have to be in shape and determined to wax when you do Zaino.
For black,grey,etc. the shine really differs in the product applied. But for Alpine White, I honestly think it doesn't matter what you use.... As long as it's easy to apply and lasts (beads) for a long time. I would definitely recommend to you Klasse (AIO + SG). Both bottles will last you 2+ years if you wax once every 2 - 3 months. This should do the trick... Hope this helps.

Thanks. that does help. What do you guys think about Rejex?
I ask because I don't mind doing all the work, but I would much prefer an easy process since I greatly enjoy my free time on the weekends. I would hate to have to devote 8 hours just on my car. I hear that rejex is a good all in one. I haven't heard too much about Klasse

+1 for someone else to washing the car.
but for me, when I had free time, meguiars and mothers were my products of choices.

At that point the best easy-to-use stuff is either Klasse All-In-One or Zaino AIO. Both do a good job cleaning, polishing and protecting the paint. Both will bead well for 6-8 weeks, easy. If you want more pop, both systems have a second step to get that fresh-from-the-showroom look. Klasse's Sealant Glaze and Zaino's Clear Seal add extra protection and shine.
You should also get a quick detailer such as Zaino's Z-6 (or Z-8) or Finish Kare 425. Use these post-wash to keep the shine going longer.

Go ahead an enjoy the car for a while before doing a full detail. Hopefully your dealer will do a good job getting it all clean and shiny, and that should last you 4-6 weeks.

Thanks, I actually have narrowed down my choices to zaino and klasse. Klasse seems a little easier to use.

My choice here would be the Zaino line.
