Thumbs up GREAT PRODUCT: Soap with wax/carnauba

I thought that it would be an hoax, but this really works! After many washes, more carnauba have stayed and the car looks more beautiful each time! The product is from a generic company and is branded "Sundance".

I also wax my cars 4 times a year, with Nu Finish (more than 15 years).

I used to use Nu Finish as well. Then only time I didn't like the stuff was when I had minor imperfections (like swirls or chips) as the product seemed to enhance them. Now I use Zaino and on my wife's Civic, which she has lovingly put imperfections, they almost disappear.

Nu Finish is a great product, goes on quickly and comes off quickly, meaning little work and low cost for great return.

Zaino is a good amount of up-front work, definitely a costly product, but THE MOST AMAZING RETURN on effort I've ever seen. My father's Porsche snobs swear by it, all my Honda friends I introduced it to swear by it, and I swear by it.

If Nu Finish works for you, don't stop using it!!

I have used NuFinish on my cars for years. Recently, Consumer Reports tested several polishes and said the paste version of NuFinish lasted longest. It was tested on black.

I use Finish First.

I havent used Zaino before, but i know that my FF works beautifully

I use meguirs quick detailer after each wash.

Oh also, "The Absorber" works great for drying the car. very soft and absorbs an incredible amount of water. i like it much better than california water blade.

I just got my first order of Finish First yesterday. I can't wait to put it on this weekend.

As for liking the Absorber better than the Cali Water blade I actually use both. I use the Cali Water Blade first to get off most of the water off the car and then I use the Absorber to get the rest.

However I think I am going to use my new waffle-weave microfiber towels from www.pakshak.com for drying. The Absorber works pretty good but it seems to leave too much water behind.

I was just going to start a new post about the absorber. Got one last week but I don't think it's all that great. It leaves way to much water residue behind...i actually find that a soft towel works better.

I got for both ... absorber for 95% of the water and then follow up with a single soft towel to get the fine spots that are left.
