Default Best Wax or Polish?

New to the forum...I'm wondering which wax is recommended by everyone out there. I'm currently using Zano Brothers, but not sure if there is a better one. Let me know.

Default best wax or polish -

Zainos seems to produce a great shine. I haven't tried it yet, been thinking of it. But I have been using a product called Malms (malms.com). They are located in NY. I have been using it for at least 10 yrs or more. They have a wax, a polish, and a polish glaze.
Easy to apply, pretty good protection.

Thanks guys, that seems to be the case w/Zaino. My A6 is the Melange, so it will only shine so much. My last 6 cars were black, but my wife wanted me to make a change on this car. Carm, I may look for the Malms that you mentioned. It may be a good back up. Thanks again...

Default Malms did pretty bad on www.thewaxtest.com site. You may want to try P21S or 1 Grand Blitz. You can

buy them both from <a href="http://www.autosupermart.com">AutoSupermart</a>

I'll vouch for Auto Supermart, P21S and 1 Grand Bliz wax. Been happy with all three. Both waxes are carnuba based. The P21S is German too..I like that. The detailing forum has lots of good info too.

Go over to the detailing forum and ask. Lots more expertise over there.

Default Zaino seemed to hold up the longest on The WaxTest-->

<center><img src="http://pictureposter.audiworld.com/17474/l_rear.jpg"></center><p>after six weeks it was still beading and the others were down to nothing. I like the Zaino because once you get the Claybar done and the first coat you can put a coat on anytime you like in about 30 minutes and buff it off in another. And the shine is great.

Default Z's not really an over-the-counter product; get it here....

H. Carl Voellm - Zaino distributor
215-938-0991 and on the website.

No, I'm not connected with Zaino or Mr. Voellm in any way, just trying to be helpful.<ul><li><a href="http://www.hcvind.com/">http://www.hcvind.com/</a</li></ul>
