I swear by Zymol. I used to think it was over-priced but I found it at CostCo for $14 for 2 bottles. I am dying to try Zaino or Klasse this summer. I am always open to try new products. I polish my car about 3-4 times/month by hand and that is not an exageration

I've used Mothers seem to work pretty good, specially on removing those little dirt particles that are impossible to wash out. I have a white car so u could tell

I used to use Meguier's
but now I use Eagle One. I love the way Eagle One makes the car look. It gives it a wet look, even after just washing it.

even though it takes me 3-4 hours depending on how careful i am, i use meguiars gold steps 1-4... oxidation remover, polish, wax, detailing spray... i love it how it looks. especially after the #1 step, when you can see all the crud that was on your paint

Zaino bros, and for a really cheap wax that still does ok, raindance. Klasse really sucks, I tried it and the car looked worse. Plus it was $28. I spent around $80 at Zaino but at least I got 5 or 6 different waxes/polishes.

You probably didn't apply klasse correctly, it is a very different process than normal waxes and even zaino.
I really have never seen a case where klasse did anything but help.

After 3-4 coats, and a topper of carnuba wax the gloss and depth is incredible.

I dunno.........I'm hoping that I did apply it incorrectly. I was very dissapointed with the results. However, I did read the instructions completely so I don't know how I could have screwed up.

Hmm, did you strip the previous wax and oils off the car before applying it?
Did you try going over the car with klasse All in One before the sealent glaze?
How many coats did you use, and how long did you wait to buff off and put another coat on?

As much as I love the results of klasse, I have found its a very perticular product. My car really starts looking great after two coats. Also with out a carnuba topper, it doesn't get the depth and warmth that most waxes have. by itself it produces a very glossy shiney finish.
