Looks great, which products did you end up using and did you go manually by hand or used machine at any point?

I ended up just using mcguires because I live in small town saskatchewan. I'm going to order zymol and use it for next time. I polish and waxed it with a dual orbital machine. worked great. i watched lots of videos first and took as much info as I could from everyone that posted. I am currently in banff taking cruises along the whindy roads in the mountains. ill post pics when I'm back home.

I like the Meg's professional line. I used m105 and M205. They woked great on my car. I had heard they dust a little but they worked great for me with no issues.

Zymol isn't my favorite. You can do a lot better.

Nicely done with the machine, enjoy the roads and your weekend

I 2nd that, have had nice results with the Meg prof line as well. I think factors affecting the dust from this line are leaving it on a particular panel too long, using too much, not using microfiber towels to wipe. This is what I have noticed from watching friends having dust as result.

Their nano wax comes off clean with great results but do not seem to last as long btw.

I agree if your going to order something I would not order Zymol, you can do a lot better for sure.

I think Kurtis meant he was going to order Zaino and not Zymol.

People love Zaino. I personally was not impressed by it I only used one of their product a while ago when I read about it on one of the forums. It was a PITA!

One of my favorites for ease of use is the Blackfire Crystal Seal. You simply spray the MF sponge they give you, wipe on and walk away (WOWA)....let it cure for an 1 1/2 or so. That is it.....No wiping and your car is beautiful. It lasts a full 6 months and it does not get any easier....especially on a black car!

I am also a Mezerna fan....Great stuff.

For every ten people you ask you will probably get 10 different answers on their favorite products.....highly subjective.

I truly hate zymol and the owner of zymol even more.

I use a lot of 1einszett, auto finesse, swissvax, sonax, and scholls concepts products along with a rupes DA. It's really pricey compared to most of the recommendations made in this thread, but feel that it's worth spending the extra money on my baby.
