Well then, just click out of the thread. Seriously, if you don't like it, then just don't look. Perhaps other Scion owners like to see small and distiinctive looking cars that are not very common. I didn't realize you were a moderator. Oh wait a minutes, you aren't.

My vote goes for the Eagle One Nano wax followed by a thin layer of Turtle wax's ICE, thats stuff is amazing. Perfect for pre-show cleaning. Ive used NXT and i gotta say im not that pleased wit the results. Im definitely going to pay a visit to autozone today to pickup that Meguire's stuff. I also have Zaino on my list but its a little too expensive for my taste. I mean its just a wax, 80 bucks thats insane. Just my .02 cents, dont bash me!!

Never bash someone for their opinion of car wax!!! What you need to know about the Zaino $80 "kit" (It's acually 84.70), is that it includes:
Flash cure additive
2 bottles of polish
1 bottle of sptray detailer
1 bottle of car wash
2 Clay Bars
2 Applicators
Now obviously, not everyone needs all that stuff...the actual polish itself is $14.95, and i can usually get 18-20 applications per bottle.
But hey, the Meguirs products are really good too!

It was cute in the beginning but grows old seeing it over and over Why should I have to click out of a topic I'm watching just because some pompos guy keeps posting pics of his non Scion vehicle? Do some mods to your Scion and post THEM up. I prolly could have been a mod but didn't want to be one All I'm saying is stick to the topic. If you want to post up picks of your unique vehicles, there are places on here you can do that if you have the need.

The way you talk and push that zaino stuff you're starting to sound like a salesman for zaino. Any product that takes THAT much work (3-4 thin coats), isn't going to be widely used. Heck most people hardly have time to get their cars washed once a week. They need something that is easy on and easy off. Not saying it doesn't work. Zaino just seems like too much work. IMO

First of all, the thought of me being anything close to "pompos" I assume you meant "pompous", is hilarious, but if that's what you take out of my postings, then mmmmmOK.
Someone noticed my SAAB when i posted the pict of my box, and expressed an interest so i thought that it might be interesting to show it. I also use Zaino polish o nit, and i was showing a picture of it at a local show. So again, i ask, how am i hurting you by posting something that other people here took an interest in? Was it a little off topic, yep i willgrant you that. Was your way of telling me about it rude and ignorant...yep, it sure was. But that happens on message forums, and i don't get nasty and return that kind of treatment...hey it's all good. I won't post any more pictures of my SAAB so you won't have to waste your time looking at them. Deal?
Now,as to your accusations that i am "zaino salesman", well that's just plain wrong. I am in the Electrical business. I am a car enthusiast by hobby, not avocation. I just happened to find a product that is superior to anything i have used in the 35 years i have been detailing cars. Since this thread is about wax, i was sharing my knowledge and experience of a product. You obviously know very little about it. (BTW, it is a LOT more popular than you might realize...go to a Vette forum someday and ask about it) You don't HAVE to put on 3-4 thin coats...you can use one thin coat and it works great., just as well if not better than the premium (and very fine) products fomr Meguirs and Mothers. ..its just that it gets better and better with additional applications. I put one application on my Escort, which took me less than 30 minutes, and it si still beading and shining after 4 months. That's all i was trying to share with everyone in this thread about "the best wax". But if you think it to be too much trouble, then by all means, use something else. There are lots of fine products out there, go for it. But please, stop attacking me. I have done nothing to you to warrant it. All i did was try to share my experience with fellow enthusiasts and have a little bit of fun......sorry if i somehow wasted your time, bored or offended you.
To the OP, i sincerely apologize for the thread hijack...i will not continue any further.

I just waxed my car with Carnu-B that I had laying around and I must say the result is impressive although it's not the easiest stuff to use. Then again this was my 1st time applying paste wax so maybe in comparison to others it is easy. I'm gonna go out and buy some Nano Wax because that should be easier and not take as long to apply.

No problem! Like i said before, the Meguirs polishes are really good too, but in my experience the Z lasts longer. But i think either one would give a nice shine.
