UNFORTUNATELY... I have a hood to contribute to a test of the popular car wax/polish wars.

Right off the bat, there are the Adam's and the Zaino products that I personally would like to test. And, surely there are some others out there - some "professional" polish/waxes out there too that need to be "discovered".

What are some quality products besides those listed that need to be tested?

A guy at a car show one day gave me a product named Bullet wax. It took the swirls out of my paint and made a great shine. I don't see them advertised any where.

How about Duragloss? I've heard it's comparable to Zaino. I use it because I can get it locally instead of internet only orders.

Getting ready to try Adams Polish & Sealant for the first time. Got it free with my Summit bucks...

Been using Zaino for a number of years. But I have added one step of my own. After I clay bar, with a meguire's kit, I then will use polishing compound.
Then onto the Zaino steps. If it's been a while, I'll do tar remover first, then clay bar.

Which polishing compound?

Scott,

I think Turtle Wax. Its a white paste. I have also used Bug and Tar Remover before anything else. Not sure it makes a huge difference but definitely want to get the micro-dirt out using the clay bar first.

One of the comparisons I'm interested in is comparing other products to Zaino, especially when exposed to summer sun AND dust/pollen.

Note: It was these conditions that turned me off on waxes 12 years ago; Zaino ever since. But, a lot of changes have occurred in the interim, and it would be good to see how stuff compares now.
