I used to use Maguire on my Prelude.
Just did 2 days of Zaino 3 layers on my baby - the result? you cannot argue until you've tried it out for yourself. It's truly is amazing. It's expensive but this stuff does make your paint look like it has a sheet of glass over it.

Indecision:
When you consider how little product it actually takes to do the job, Zaino is probably one of the most cost effective products on the market. Helped a guy yesterday with a SVT Cobra convertible. We used 1/2 oz of Z-5 to apply 2 coats, and 1/4 oz of Z-2 for the final coat. Using those quantities, a person will get a lot of usage out of an 8 oz bottle of polish.
s2k Desi:
Email Sal to find the distributor nearest you. Use the "Contact Us" link at www.zainobros.com, or directly to him: sal@zainobros.com.
As for the products you need, consider the following:
Z-18 Clay Bar.......Gets the surface absolutely clean.
ZFX....................Higher gloss and up to 3 coats/day.
Z-2....................Higher optics than Z-5.
Z-5....................Dark cars need this to fill swirls/scratches.
Z-6....................Maintains the polish & keeps it slick.
Z-7....................Contains polish & sunscreen.

Carnauba waxes don't last because they have no ingredients that would allow them to last. On a black car it's even worse because the surface temperatures are much higher than on lighter cars. This increases the evaporation of the oils and melting/vaporizing of the wax. A wash or a few rains is all it takes to severely compromise these products, if not remove them altogether. Paint surface temps can get up to 200 degrees on a hot day on a black car.

There is a "Wax vs. Polymer" chart at www.autoint.com with temperature break down points. Also lots of 30X photos of various paint problems and what causes them. Interesting site.

doc Jek . ..
Meguiars has a fine line of wax products - they have varying levels of quality and application process . . . .
its one of the best - chain store bought wax lines . . .
im sure there are users on this site that will lend you a hand with which of their products suit you - if you're gonna "go wax" . . .
