    Agreed, Xymol is kinda overrated (especially if it's the one purchased from Wal-Mart). The only xymol that's worth it's price is the carbon formula, and I believe it's about $40 for a small can of it.

    I also use Klasse, but might be trying Zaino Bros. soon.

    I disagree, but it's good stuff.

    I've used quite a few of the 3-step kits. Meguairs, Mothers, but now I make my own 3-steps... actually it's more than 3, but... hahaha

    1) Clay Bar
    2) 3M Swirl Mark Remover (for dark cars) - this will help your swirl marks IMMENSELY
    3) Klasse All-In-One
    4) Klasse Sealer Glaze
    5) Blitz One Grand Carnuba

    I had a navy blue jetta before my EP, and the method I described above kept it swirl mark free and shiny.

    Klasse hands down is the product of choice.

    ok, klasse may be as good or better than zaino, i've never used it so i don't know. zaino is some good shit though. here is a comparison test between zaino, zymol (both cheap stuff and nsx) and meguair's gold class => http://www.nsxsc.com/nsexcitement/waxtest.html

    Oh there's no doubt that zaino is good stuff. The comparison you'll come across on detailer's message boards is Klasse vs. Zaino. Klasse tends to have a much more natural, clear look; whereas Zaino has a sizzling wet look. I'm actually curious whether Zaino would be better since I have a white EP, but we shall see. :D

    after further review... i ordered up some klasse products, lol. it looks like it is so much easier to apply than the zaino million step process. i've been dreading beginning the zaino process because we are currently under water restrictions here in raleigh and the only place i can hand wash my car is about 8 miles away! @#$%^&%&$

    i really don't want to wash my car, then drive it 8 miles, then wax it. i'm worried about rubbing in dirt, instant swirl marks. it looks like i'll be able to apply the klasse products pretty quickly, so i can do it right at the carwash. thanks for the heads up!

    Sure thing man, I think you'll be pleased with the Klasse products. If you are looking for some application tips, check out the forums at http://www.autopia.org/forums/index.php

    I'm getting ready to order jaydub's multi step process w/ Klasse products. Going to detail my families' autos when I get to GA as X-mas gifts and the like. Plus, my car needs a good detailing (damn tree sap mainly). :D

    HondaMan, are you going to try it with a random orbital buffer? I had 10x better results using my Porter Cable 7424 to apply it. :)

    I have a Black & Decker random orbital polisher. You think that will be good enough or is the Porter Cable 7424 a must have & worth the investment? If so, I wonder what Home Depot has them for...I'm already going to order $170 worth of products from CMA soon (including 10% discount from autopia). Hmmmm
