Zymol Royale Glaze
Product Description
Zymol Royale Glaze (50oz.) It was originally formulated to protect the finish of the Bugatti Royale, a rare late 1920's ultra-luxury car (only about half a dozen were built) so meticulously crafted and exquisitely engineered that today it is considered a work of art. Suitable for all paint types and colors. Royale Glaze contains 70% Brazilian No.1 White Carnauba by volume, which is the absolute highest quality available anywhere! Ingredients: Contains white carnauba sap, Montan Evergreen Oil, Sunflower Oil, Cantaloupe Oil, Coconut Oil, Honeydew extract, Strawberry extract, Propolis (derived from bees) and pure glycerin. Royale Glaze contains 70% Brazilian No.1 White Carnauba by volume.

That might a little more than you want.

I've been a big fan of the adam's polish system. i just the whole car including a layer of the machine wax followed by the buttery wax to give it a nice shine. It works great and made the paint look nearly new.

You can never go wrong with the Gold Class! IMO, one of the best inexpensive waxes. Take a look at sealants like Klasse. That stuff is awesome. Very easy to use and lasts much longer than typical waxes.

A co-worker bought the Meguire's NXT Generation® Tech Wax® 2.0 Paste and he wasn't completely satisfied and just okay with the results. He offered me to try it so I did today. The verdict: not a fan of this new stuff. I usually use Meguire's Gold Class liquid and was assuming the same application and results--wrong. If you're used to Gold Class liquid/paste the major thing you'll notice is that the NXT dries to a thin weak rubber film instead of to a dry powder coating. The other thing you'll notice is that it takes longer to dry than your typical paste of other popular brands. Being a that I never invested in a rotary buffer I do everything by hand and NXT gave me a work out, it takes ALOT more elbow grease than the Gold Class. I did see a positive on the NXT though, a little goes a long, long way. As far as gloss NXT looks different but I can't really tell if it's better or mediocre to Gold Class due to my car being metallic white. In any case, I'm sticking with the Gold Class formula.

Thanks for that tip. I wondered about that.
I ASSUMED that the newer product may be better.

I'll stick with the Gold Class
Thanks
