Default Where to buy wax for the car????

Help, I'm going to be leaving my S for a few months to go back to college but I defiantely want to wax it before I go. I was goin to order Zaino but there just isnt enough time since I wil be leaving in 4 days!!! I will have to settle for a wax I can buy locally. What should I buy. I know Walmart sells Zymol (but liquid version) but I hear bad things about this wax. They also have Meguiars. Would this be better??? What would you reccomend. Thanks

If you're looking for long-lasting protection that can be bought locally, the the Meguiar's #20 Polymer Sealant. It lasts just as long as Zaino but is much easier and faster to apply, but it does not shine as well on dark-colored cars compared to Zaino. How is your paint condition though? You may want to prep the surface with #9 first if it's less than perfect. To have a better and deeper shine than Zaino, top the #20 with layers of #26.

Meguiar's Mirror Glaze line of products is very nice, but the Deep Crystal System is not.

Autopia is a great place to learn about detailing.

Zaino is probably much closer to you than you think. Email Sal: wet@zainobros.com, for the nearest distributor.

You should give P21S a try. In the recent Guru Reports it was #1 in looks and it lasted about 8 weeks. It is simply the easiest wax to use, it will not stain the black trim of your car and won't leave a lot of dust behind the way Zym
