Howdy all,
A friend of mine at work had been talking about methods and products we use to maintain our vehicles. He has been using Zaino to maintain his 2003 Corvette Z06 and I will say, it did look good. But my friend took a look at the finish on my C320, (pics forthcoming next week) and he decided to give Meguiars NXT tech wax a shot.
We started off with a fresh clay bar to the finish. This was the quickest claying I've ever done since it had virtually no noticeable surface contaminants. Better to be thorough and know the results will be desireable.
Next we grabbed the trusty PC and #83 to work on a few cobwebs and swirl marks. I paid particular attention to the lower center portion of the hood, since it had some bad DIO scratch marks that look atypical of bad rotary technique.
Since the finish didn't haze after applying #83, we went straight to the NXT Tech Wax. As you can see below, in the hood picture, the DIO scratches didn't get completely covered, but to our eyes, it was a slight improvement.
The one difference I noticed between the Zaino wax finish and the NXT wax, is that the Zaino finish resembles the way Gold Class wax appears. It looks VERY good, but it doesn't seem to "pop" like the NXT does. I'm in no way trying to put down anyone who has used Zaino, Zymol or any other product, just stating what my eyes perceived.
The proud owner
Look carefully, and you'll see the 3-pointer star in the reflection
What more can I say?
It's a shame the sky cover was mostly cloudy, this would have been an AWESOME pic otherwise!
I was tempted not to include this picture, being that it's parked next to his neighbor's Ford!
JUST KIDDING!!! 
I really wanted to put another coat of NXT wax on, but I got called in for an overtime shift, so the 2nd coat will have to wait a day or so. I don't know if my friend will be switching over to NXT Tech Wax but at least he was pleased with the results. Can't ask for much else! I know I was thoroughly pleased with it.
