I have used Griot's for over 5 years. The Best of Show wax is great. First clay and buff then put at least 1 coat on and let it set over night then repet it 2 more times. That puts a deep shine to the paint. It what works for me. You just have to find what works for you.
Well it looks like we all have our favorites. For years on my white vette I used a wax called "Collinite" and it was "insulator Wax" made to coat those glass insulators on power poles. They are also well know for boat wax, cool thing it is made in my home town. I have owned two silver vehicles, and find that silver and even more so white is very tough to get a deep shine. Must be cause of the reflectivity. A few years back I tried some meguires gold and liked that also.
Then a buddy of mine sugested I try Zaino, I invested in the whole system with the additive and spent a weekend clay baring, sealing, and puting multiple coats on. As I have stated before I have had my hands all over that C3 body for 28 years and once I used that Zaino and applied it in their specific up and down direction for reflectivity, it brought out things I have never seen before. The gloss for a white car is the best I have seen so far. For a silver car it should be great also.There is no substitute for low end torque!

Thanks for all the help folks. It sounds like most votes so far are for either Griots or Zaino (which is now featured in the Eckler's catalog). Is there anyone out there who thinks that if I go with either one of these, I'll be making a mistake?
