Looking good dude! I have this wax or something that I got from my uncle. He use to work in the paint shop for GM way back when. Found this stuff hidden in his basement and he gave it to me to brighten up my Jetta....well....you should see this stuff! It's amazing! Brought back my dead, sun dried paint to a brand new finish that looks like it was just painted. No idea what it's called though. Anyone have any idea's on what this stuff is? It's a white compound thats not exactly chunky or thick, but it's not like water or normal wax either.

Nanoed my wife's Chrysler LHS. Very nice results, so much so that I may discard my IROC's Zaino in favor of it: much easier application and IMO the results are every bit as good--not to mention that the Nanowax is considerably cheaper.

I preferred the Nano over the Zaino and made a post about it nearly a month ago. People flipped out - I badmouthed Zaino! Where were you then?

I'll bet members did crucifiy you--Zaino certainly has a strong following on this site and elsewhere, but there are other good products out there and Nanowax is one of them.

I nano'd my car this weekend, now under street lights you can see thousands of little scrathes that wasn't there before, it looks like crap. I used it just like the instructions said, hell i even used a clay bar on it before i waxed it. The paint job was new and had never been waxed before. I'm not quite for sure what to do.
