Hey guys what kind of wax/polish do you guys use? I've been trying to find a good one, but haven't been able to find one. Can you guys recommend anything?

Many will say Zaino, and I don't disagree, however I don't have any experiences with it.

I use:
- AutoGlym Super Resin Polish
- AutoGlym Liquid Hardwax
- Presta Best Wax

And some wet waxes to maintain the "real" wax.

First of all great job on keeping the car clean!

You can always try Zaino - any of their products is great. I used Klasse All-In-One followed by Menzerna Full Molecular Jacket. When this runs out I will be using Jeff's Werkstatt and get some Danase Glaze gloss enhancer. Have a look around on autopia.org and there are tons of choices. I prefer articifical waxes aka sealants as they are very durable.

Zaino is great

If you looking for ultimate wet look, try swissvax "best of show"

But mate, your car looks really "wet" already
