All these recent posts on different waxes

Thanks guys. Keep reminding me that I really need to get my vehicles cleaned and waxed. Now if one of you'd just volunteer to do my truck..

 

seriously though. I have two questions:

 

1) Since I need to wax my truck this weekend (assuming no rain), since Zaino is both relatively expensive AND only available by order (for me), and since Meguire's NXT is still a cleaner wax, does anyone have a recommendation for a relatively good NON-cleaner wax that I can get at a local source (whether auto parts store, Wally's World, or whatever)?

 

2) What do the rest of you do about area at the back of the cab / front of the bed, where it's nearly impossible to reach? I know it gets dirty. The best I've been able to do so far is hit as much as I can with the soap from my pressure washer then rinse it down. I know nobody can really see the finish in that area, but is there a possibility of rust in these areas where we can't get to? Am I just worrying for nothing and should just hit as far as I can reach with the wash mit / spray washer / wax applicator and move on?

 

Oh, and after seeing some of the rides here I'm gonna have to get a clay bar kit before I do my wax job. Too much shine and I know my Arrival Blue has the same potential.

Zaino is more then fair on the price for what you get. [email protected], [email protected], [email protected] and clay [email protected]. Results are amazing but I to order it online. Megs make some good products along with 3m which you can get at autozone. Check out autopia.org for detail an wax info.

I've used both Zaino and Meguiars products. I'm not sure how many cleaners(if any) are in NXT. I know Meguiars specifically makes a cleaner wax called same. I've used their Gold Class with good results, and started using NXT last summer. It goes on easy and doesn't leave a messy residue. I was happy with the Zaino when I tried it too. I guess a lot of it is your personal preference. I know I'm the same way with tire dressing...try something new every so often.

You will NOT get anything better than Menzerna ....check my link for pics. I'm hard core into detailing and that stuff is the best I've used.

Thanks for the replies I've received so far, and keep em coming.

 

It's calling for rain here Thursday (and possibly Friday), but the weekend is supposed to be pretty now. So I'll be out shopping for a non-cleaner wax and clay bar between now and then so I can hopefully get some good shine on my truck.

Zaino is hard to beat for the price...I've used NXT with good results also but in my opinion Zaino whips them.
