Default Polish/Wax Tips

Over the last 2 years or so I have been using nothing but Griot's car care products on my 98 ITR. It's about time for another waxing and would like to try something new. I've used the 3 step machine polish followed by 2 coats of their Best of Show wax and have never gotten the depth/shine out of the paint that I desire. I guess I'm just ****, but if there are better products out there, why not try them. Also which pads do you use with your orbital to apply/remove the waxes and polishes?I was thinking of sort of glaze? Let me know of you guys have any recommendations of new products to try, and if you've ever compared them to the Griot's products. Thanks, Ryan

I've tried meguiars gold class and i wasnt too impressed. I bought Zaino 2 step wax and the wash and I am very happy with it. After doing the 2 step waxing process it makes the paint feel wet almost. I have origionlal paint on my 97 ls and people always think that i got a new paint job or that my car is a newer model.

clay bar, and zaino, by far has the best results.

clay bar in general is dope.

but when you see water beading off your car after you use zaino.....it brings a tear to your eye,.
