What do you guys use for detailing the inside of your vehicle and waxing/etc the outside?
Im a big fan of Zaino products but would love to hear other options as the stuff is expensive and you can only use your mixture for 12 hours or else you have to throw it away.

My friend has Armorall interior shine. We used on the black vinyl on my Civic and it looks great. It has to be applied every 3 weeks or so, but its worth it.
The outside, I use turtle wax.
Oh, There were some old M4x series of PG amps on ebay, I remember you said you were looking for some. Hopefully they are still around.

Theres some stuff I came across a few years ago for show cars. I'll try to find it again. Small US based company with Canadian distributor in Burlington. I spoke to dozens of people about it on Sunday Cruize nights and they all said it's the best you can get...I didn't want anything that would leave spider webs in my black paint.
You should be ok with most products cause of the colour of your ride thou

I would go to autopia.net and look around. Seems the new Meguiars NXT stuff looks good. It all depends on the budget. That stuff costs like $15 a bottle. I just bought some of the Eagle One nanowax to see what it was like, seems like a good idea as well. Unless you have a good reason, I wouldn't dump a ton of money into a high price wax.
With that said, been dying to try the Griot's stuff (maybe after I get the car repainted). For now, the wife's car is getting clayed, then some of the Nanowax to see how it holds up.

Another Zaino user here [img]graemlins/wavey.gif[/img] That 12 hour thing is only if you are using the ZFX. I have done the traditional Z1 procedure and then use Z5 whenever I like and just wait the 1 hour or so for it to dry before removal. Buddy, it sounds like you are thinking of Zaino too. The first Canadian distributor was Crown Auto Emporium which is somewhere around there.
NXT isn't exactly what it's hyped to be from those I've talked to who use it. It isn't all that much different from using Gold Class apparently. GC is a good 1-step wax I have found.
