The magazine tests 28 some pastes, liquids, and touch up sprays in the July 2006 issue. No zaino and rejex are not rated. The surprising thing is that two liquids test better than all pastes. They are 1. Black Magic Wet Shine Liquid Wax BM48016 and 2: turtle Wax Carnauba Wax T-6. Gloss and Durability are the most important of 7 test results.

The touch up sprays are also rans. |bouncy|

I saw that too.
I was surprise not to see Zaino, but I don't think you can get Zaino in a store, can you? Maybe that's why.

I went looking for Black Magic at AutoZone last night and did not see it. I picked up the Turtle Wax Platinum, thinking it was the top rated. When I checked the magazine again this morning, I realized I meant to get T-9 instead. I'm going to return the Platinum and get the T-9 if they have it.

Wally Word has the Black Magic, but I'm sticking with Rejex. |thumb|

In my one to one comparison of Rejex to Meguiar's I did not notice any dirt pickup differences (rear of 3 cars). I have gone to the hood/front on my wife's Impala now and one side is Rejex versus "The Gold Class-(Paste wax)" on the other side. So far bug removal is the same. After the first wash I put a second coat of Rejex on it's side and the water beading was much improved. I have now put a second coat of the Meguiar's on its side. I have never done this two coat thing before.

Surprisingly the Meguiars paste wax, "The Gold Class", says long lasting polymer protection. Note also that Rejex says 4 months.

I bought some stuff from Adams and so far am very impressed. The detailing spray does windows and Chrome, It it also great to use if your car gets a little dusty. It is amazing that you get spray it and wipe it off leaving so swirls marks and leaves a high gloss shine. NO I Don't work for them or get kick backs. |laugh| I am just sharing what I believe are some great products. http://www.adamspolishes.com/

I have been VERY pleased with Glare Auto Polish. I have tried Adams, Zaino, and all the rest but Glare works best and has a fantastic shine. If you have not tried it I urge you to do so.

Tried Adam's Polishes for the first time, and am happy so far.
