    I used it years ago on my first car and I consider it to be just like any other wax out there. If you are looking for the best IMO,use Zaino. Many people will agree with that.

    I agree with this entirely... but it is not a wax... so don't be confused... but wax wise, go NXT its a bit easier to work with, and I truely beleive its better.

    At the end of the day, wax is wax, and mothers is a good brand too... I guess it boils down to name, smell, and ease of application.

    First wax I ever used was mother's. I was very satisfied. I too used the 3 phase mother's system.

    I'm using zainobros stuff right now. I'm using Z1, Z2, Z5, and Z6. The stuff smells like crap compared to mother's. I have no doubt this stuff works like a miracle, but you can't really get much of a shine from taffeta white. The other negative about zainobros is that the dry time is excruciatingly long.

    imo, if u got a white or silver EP, don't expect too much of a shine.

    While I don't use Zaino or plan on it....I seem to remember that they have something called ZFX to allow the coats to dry super fast and allow you to put multiple layers on in a single day.

    Zaino ZFX stuff
