Soon I will be getting my red-reflector. Maybe going to tint my windows 35% all around.

Then, I will need a nice wax to wax her.


Any recommendation?

We know RF's E60 board sux.
I think detail board is ok. They tested lots of different products.

I am using Meguiar's NXT wax and Gold Class wax.

I'm using 1Z Einzett Paint Polish and Glanz Wax and topped with S100 Carnauba. I chose this over Zaino simply for ease of use.

The e60 board on RF may suck, but overall RF is one of the more technical boards out there.

Some popular names in car care are 3M, Meguiars, Mothers, Menzerna, Zaino, Pinnacle, P21S, Klasse.

Everone has their favorite. The best I've seen, imo, are Zaino and Menzerna.

Zaino. Expensive, but nothing else comes close.

What's the word on Klasse? Looked like it would be very good also.

Zymol (Estate Glazes) is expensive, but Zaino is affordable.
