Not true..... You can use any wax you want.

I like the Born To Be Mild shampoo by Dodo Juice available from www.Detailedimage.com ........... also use the Citrus Wash & Gloss.

Both are awesome products!

+1. Obviously Zaino would want you to buy everything from them. I have the car wash and leather cleanser/conditioner from them. Everything else I bought from detailimage.

Duragloss 901 good stuff...

arabbmw · 03-30-2009, 04:14 AM

try the Meguiars Gold Class car wash. Found at Wal-Mart or Target. Ive used the NXT and the Gold Class is way better. Im just saying give it a shot before you order anything since it can be found locally and its cheap.

For your wheels ( and interior for that matter) get some 303 aero space protectant. Some can find it locally but for me it was hard. Wash your wheels really well, spray this stuff on and WIPE IT OFF RIGHT AWAY. It protects your wheels very well because its designed to work with high heat levels.

i find Poorboys Slick n Suds from http://www.eshine.ca

works very good in my foaming gun.

I like the ICE wash.

liverbomb88 · 03-30-2009, 05:51 PM

The gallon of TurtleWax ICE wash I got from Costco did not smell all that great, so I'm pretty glad I've used all of it up. IMO, Megs GC smells better than Duragloss. Think it can be used as (human) body wash?

I really like Meguiars Gold Class as well. It's very slick and does a nice job.

Recently I've been using only Optimum No-Rinse. A very cool product. ONR is mentioned in other threads in this forum. Saves me time and water.

I have had great results with Blackfire Gloss Shampoo and Conditioner. The gloss left after a standard wash and dry was quite impressive.

Me too.

Oh, and even though Meguiar's looks cheaper, keep in mind that Meg's Gold Class calls for 1oz per gallon... Maxi Suds is concentrated, and 2oz is enough for a 5 gallon bucket. So it's like using half as much per wash!
