^^^ That must be some great stuff.


But if your looking for a kit or something i'd check out Zymol.

I tried the EagleOne Nanowax last week on my stang and it didnt impress me too much. I applied it to my friends 300zx thats dark blue and it seemed to work great. I went back over mine with the Meguiar's #26 and it was alot better!

I've had good results with ICE.

I'm about to go all out on detailing stuff:
Porter Cable 7424
Pinnacle XMT #3
Pinnacle XMT #1
Pinnacle Advanced Finishing Polish
Pinnacle XMT glaze
Pinnacle Series II Caranuba paste wax
QUESTION: Any of you know is the XMT Glaze and the Advanced finishing polish are basically the same? Could either one of them be used after polishing and before waxing? Or should I use them both?

DP Krystal Vision Glass
Pinnacle Black Onyx Tire Gel
Meguiars Shampoo Plus (1 gal)

I'm going to go over it one more time with the Nanowax. Then if it doesn't get better I'll order Pinncale wax kit. I'll probably wait until spring though. Drive the wife's station wagon this winter.

Never heard of it. Is it better than Pinnacle. Does it take out swirls.

wax doesn't take out swirls. Pinnacle series II is a good wax for all different cars and colors. Zaino starts to get into different natural elements and has specific waxes towards a lighter color car, darker car, etc. Also, they're more expensive, I believe they're top wax is just under $500.

I like it alot too Lance. It's very easy to apply and just as easy removing! I was very very suprised at the results. I did one section the normal way with all meguiar's, then a section with ICE and that section of ICE had a sweet wet look i loved!

Meguiar's NXT Tech Wax is pretty easy to use. Goes on smoothly and buffs off really really easy. I have a white car, so I can't comment on the shine it gives for darker cars. The protection last's about 6-8 weeks, so not very long for a sealant wax at all. It's a good over the counter wax, but there are much better ones out there for the price.
