Alot depends on level of experience. For beginners or novices, I'd suggest Griots garage as an excellent starting part for how-to's and info

Wolfgang Fuzion wax. It's expensive but damn it's so good.
Same here. Been using them on my Vipers since I bought them. Love their stuff.

I am a huge fan of Griot's and have been using their products for 10 years. I have the buffers and they do a great job without a lot of effort.
Here was a friends car I did using Griot's products.

I was a meguiars guy, but Griots has an intriguing product line. What's the best final step stuff to try? The finishing cream or best of show wax? Or?
Also anyone tried the liquid glass stuff in the metal can?
just wash and rinse was a 15k mile car that just sat. Barrels took some elbow grease though.

liquid glass always serves me well and the owner is a viper owner
THE IGNORE FEATURE WORKS, TRY IT...
I have been using Liquid Glass for years. It really made my black 95 look great,
.
I really like the Zaino line of products. I use the Clear Sealant. It is a synthetic sealant that is applied and requires no buffing. Once it cures I hit it with Z8 Grand Finale, which is similar to a quick detailer. This gives a very wet look. Between full detailings I like Pinnacle Sovereign Crystal Mist quick detailer to maintain it.

i wont use zaino cause the owner is one of the biggest tools on the planet

ZAINO as well, their activated wax when cured lasts really long, its easy to put on.
ZAINO detail sprays make the car so slick that you don't dare to lean on the car or your gonna slide off!!!!
Their wax does NOT leave a white residue on black items.

Glad I have never talked with him then......
Used a new product about a year ago, Migliore Strata. Very good protection and still beads after a year with only washes in between.

I've used Liquid Glass and Klasse previously with great success, just like experimenting with new products.
This stuff is probably one of the easiest finishes I've ever applied aside from Meguiar's Gold, but it protects like multiple coats of LG or a good Klasse application.

Been very happy with Polish Angel. Never ponied up for the ridiculously expense waxes in their line but have been very happy with the rest of their entire line of products. Takes multiple steps and products to go through the whole process but the end finish is worth the effort.
Started using some of the Jax wax products, they seem to do well @ a fair price.
I like Adams

I use Pro Cherry Wax. Been using it for the past 12 years on hundreds of cars. Does a great job and smells great. It's what the Car Chem company used to deliver to our dealership way back in the day. Once I started using it, I haven't looked back. It's worth giving a shot in a smaller bottle. I wouldn't recommend the gallon jug to anyone that doesn't wax commercially
