Meguiar's Gold Class liquid Wax, Eagle 1 low gloss for interior, Eagle 1 Tire Gell.

Very happy with the GC wax and it's very easy to use and effective.
The Eagle tire gell works great but will sling a bit if you drive through rain. Perfect if you keep the car out of the wet though.

I have seen quite a few head to head reviews with the Zaino vs the NXT and the only thing that the Zaino really beat it on was longevity. Everything else was so hard to tell it was basically even. This was from MDX owners so it might be different on other type of paint jobs. The thing the NXT did win on was the reflective properties as the Zaino was like a mirror and took away from the depth of the paint where it was hard to focus on the paint job rather than reflections.

For inside I mostly use 303 Aerospace Protectant and does quite well but there are lots of good products for inside

Here is a couple pics of cars done with zaino

I've seen pics of that black Ram Air but not of that GTA before. I personally love a ton of reflection [img]smile.gif[/img] Here is what my Neon R/T looked like after owning it for 14 months and about 3 or so coats of Zaino (note that I took these shots with direct sunlight on the black paint to show how little swirl there was on it):





Not perfect but pretty darn good for a daily driver for my wife that saw lots of highway duty and west cost rain. And in those pics, I didn't have a fresh coat on there. I hadn't Zainoed the car in a few months.

I was using Meguiars but have switched to 3M's Perfect-It paste wax... it is hard to believe how good it is.
Vinylex for the vinyl
I am lazy so I spray on Black Magic Tire Wet

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.
Turns out it was Zaino I was thinking of lol. Stuff looks fantastic and will likely get some soon.

MDXMan, I was going to put that pic of the TA up once I saw people posting pics. I scrolled down only to see you beat me to it. tabarnak!
