Default Just because you saw me use that stuff last year doesn't me you should use it on your car.

It was ok, but I am going to switch to a something else later this year. What...I don't know yet.

Default Skip Zymol, it's over rated. Use Meguirs prof series if you can find it. <more>...

Depending on how crazy you would like to get there are a few things to pick up. If you want to go all out and get the finish smooth as glass pick up some Mother's clay (not a fan of Meguiar's clay), Meguiar's liquid #9 or #7 which can sometimes be found at Pepboys and if not possibly a more specialized auto parts store (get whichever of the 2 would be your pref), then lastly a nice coat of Meguiar's gold class (go w/ the past for this last step). If you are going for overkill on protection you could put a coat of Meguiar's #26 paste there after. The #26 is stricly for protection whereas the others have polishing attributes with protection. You can't go wrong with that combo. Let me know if you have any questions.

Default do not waste your time on exotic waxes, they do not matter ...

as i've said before, spend the money on good polishes and an orbital polisher (menzerna and the pc7424 is a good place to start) -- even on a brand new car, i would bet the menzerna 85rd + a black pad would add "pop". paint preparation is key to a good shine, not wax.

congrats on the new car, bro! :-)

Meem, where can you pick up Menzerna? I keep a clean car but your finishes are amazing.
