    I hear great things about them in this forum and other car forums. You won't find them on the shelf of your local Walmart but you can order their products on line. The guy is from Jersey so I should get my order soon since I live in Pa.

    Even though Sal is from NJ, I believe the products now ship from a warehouse elsewhere, Kentucky, Indiana somewhere like that. But it still comes quick to us here in the NE. I had to replace not just my Zaino stuff but everything from my random orbital, micro fibers, you name it after Sandy wiped me out of it just my car care stuff last year...

    You'll love Zaino and the results, just make sure to prep it properly by removing anything on there with a Dawn wash and if yo have it clay the car for proper adhesion first coat.

    I have been using Meguiars products for about 20 years, pretty much delivers great results. I tend to wash the car once a week and desireably wax it once a month, but have been a bit busy lately. They have a great spay wax inbetween wax jobs, which take in the upwards of 3-hours by hand; I don't use an orbital. I'm pretty much a bead freak. My car isn't garaged, so I take care of the finish as much as possible. I don't have a particular preference on tire shine, but I do tend to stay away from all Turtle products, just doesn't do anything for me.

    Meguiar's new white wax works great on the blizzard paint.

    I answered the survey "Wash and wax myself," however I do not wax my cars. I'm too lazy. I go to a coin-operated place, use the spray and brush, and dry by hand. At nearly ten years old, I don't wash the Prius any more, but I wash the Tesla regularly.
