Please tell me which of these would you use. I tried Turtle Ice, and its not even as good as Meguair's NXT. Also could someone show me a picture of the RejeX bottle? I want to order it and try. I have a Black Sapphire Metallic car, so which one should I use?

even the Royol family uses it so it got to be good.
But I don`t wax it my self any more, I take it at a bodycareshop and they give the car a 3 layer coat of wax every 3 months. Each time after its like a baby bottum very smooth just the itjust come out the showroom.

Hi
here is a link to see what bottles of Rejex look like. There are 2 links as the different bottle sizes have different packaging.
I use Rejex and absolutely love it. Sooooo smooth and stuff just slides off. It also lasts a decent amount of time.

I love Rejex as well. The result is great, plus it is so easy to use.
You can probably get 5% more shine with another product, but with 50% more work!

I use Rejex, but have heard lots of good things about Zaino (which wasn't mentioned above). If you had to choose between Zaino and AUTOGLYM, which would you go with?

I've just got a hole set of AUTOGLYM, and used them on my moms VW Polo (metallic black) a week ago, with great results! I polished the car with Super Rensin Polish first, and then vaxed it with Extra Gloss Protection...
The car looks amazing!
I will do the E60 some day, when I have the time..

I voted for Zaino. I had ordered the Ultimate Protection Show Car Care Kit from them a couple weeks ago. Two weeks ago, I spent about 8 hours going through the complete process from washing with Dawn liquid detergent to strip off old wax, to using clay bar to putting on 2 coats of polish plus detailing spray. This past weekend, I put on another coat of their Z5 swirl remover and another pass of the Z6 detailing spray. The finish is absolutely stunning. I'm going to put on another coat of the Z2 polish this coming weekend.
What I did notice after the first weekend was that it actually repelled dust from collecting on my car. My work parking lot gets dusty but after using Zaino, the dust is greatly diminished. I've always heard great things about Zaino but now I can say that I'm a believer from actual experience.
