I tried my wife's brand that was advertised on TV awhile ago but it irritated my bikini area.

However, I'd like to put a good coat of something protective over it. Don't know which direction to go, hate the black streaks and aluminum oxidation from the overhead trim.

Any suggestions?
I used some eagle-1 wax that I had in the garage on my white enclosed trailer and it seems to keep the streaking away for a longer period of time, but the black streaks are tough to eliminate permanently.

broke out the instructions and finally tried the Zaino, even though the truck is only a couple of months old it looks a lot better than when we picked it up from the dealer

I found it easy to apply and buff off, did wash clay bar and two coats of zaino in about 3 hours.

Started using Zaino several years ago, and never looked back. Fantastic stuff. Way easier to use than wax, lasts much longer, comes off easier, looks better. Started using it for my black T/A and my wife's car, now I use it on everything I have. And no matter how good the car I'm working on looks, after another coat of Z2 it always looks better. Now with the accelerator, it's dry and ready to buff off pretty soon after I finish the car. And my arms aren't killing me like they used to trying to get dried wax off. And no more dried white stuff to clean out of every crevice and crack. Just follow the directions, and the tips, and you won't have any problems. Absolutely love the stuff.

Tropi-Care products have been the best I have used. They have the best prices I have ever seen on the Porter Cable buffer kits. Use the PC with their foam pads in combination with their Swirl Cutter and the paint has never looked better. Top it off with their TC-3xP Polish and the paint looks like you could dip your hand into it.

Good Stuff!!! www.tropi-care.com

I've used it along with Zaino and I prefer Zaino. It lasts longer. Tropi is good, Zaino is better in my opinon.

I like my wife to rub it on by hand and then use the electric buffer till it shines like it should.
