Drop a line if you have any recomendations for high quality wax for the S2K along with any good advice on tire products that creates a lasting shine. Have a new '04 and am looking for good products that won't F*** the paint nor become a rubber eater.

I use sealants ( Klasse & WolfGang and Poorboys) and use carnuba wax as toppers (s100, natty's etc) . You'll find many people use this route. Very durable and added "pop" due to the carnuba.

As for the tire-shine, nothing but the Poorboys tire n shine. I used the 303 protectant and that did not work well at all.

As well familiarize yourself with this site as well as http://www.properautocare.com

There a bunch of high quality synthetic sealants and natural waxes on the market. It's all preference as to the look and durability you want.

303 and Meg's Endurance work well for me on the tires. 303 makes them look clean but not super bright or shinning.

as with most things, the more work you do the more protection and shine you get, imo...

if you want a great quick easy shine, p21s (carnuba) is a great product- but it wont last as long as a good synthetic. some good ones mentioned above.

my car currently has several coats of zaino (applied at different times) covered by p21s. it also has finish first (another synthetic) on the wheels (ssr gt-3s) now.

For tires I use Tire Wax by Turtle Wax. It seems to last much longer than the liquids since it's a gel.

How does the Zaino tire product compare with those mentioned above?

I stopped using tire products because they seemed to get gooped up inside all of the crevices on the sidewall and end up attracting road grime.
