I use only Meguiars product and the microfiber towels and it's kept my black mica in great condition.

i have meguiars 3 step sitting in my room, but i cant ever find a good time to do it...plus i dont know how well it will remove all the contaminants and nastiness my car gets from being outside....it makes me so mad, after i wash it, it still looks dirty
I have done Zaino and it would take him two days to do the complete system. Frankly I am not too impressed. Zaino produces a good shne but there are so many other polishes/wax that can deliver a better job in a third of the time. Try www.autopia.com. It is a auto detail forum that can give you many ideas. For me I put on the Vanilla Moose polish then S100 wax. The shine can't be beat. (yippy)
meguiars Gold class is the best wax period. I detailed cars for a whole year and I've never got a complaint. If your paint is rough, get the clay bar system first. Then use some kind of scratch off to get rid of the scratches. I would then use the 3 step system, but use meguiars gold class to finish it off for the waxing part. Waxing frequently will give you more protection from all the s*** that's in the air. Between waxes, use Meguiars quik detailer or if it's just dusty or has pollen, use a california duster.
4 things you should have in your car:
100% terry cloth towels
Meguiars Quik Detailer
California Blade (for rainy days, and if you dont' have a garage)

I've tried meguirs, I've tried Mothers, I've tried just everything actually, and I'm not impressed with them. I want to try Zaino, they have a speedy kit now that doesn't have to sit overnight. I'm going to wait for the mothers I have to run out, and get zaino later on this year. Money is tight right now.
Zaino can be done in a day with the ZFX- I've done 4 steps in one day without problem (all by hand-I'm debating using a small buffer to help speed up the process)...granted, I had pizza delivered to the parking lot that I was doing it because I was working on it all day
It was very gratifying when done. Almost a different color all together, that's how noticeable it was the first time.

I too have no garage and am in the sun most of the day if I don't get one of the few covered stalls by my housing unit. I have found that meguiar's cleaner wax and shine wax work the best for both maintaining the shine and also keeping the contaminents off the car. Plus, I clay bar it every 4-6 months, depending how much time I spend by the ocean.
Have you guys tried KLASSE?

I have been using this after I clay my car with Mother's. This stuff is AWESOME. I apply it twice a year and not worry about it later.
My Nissan Altima has HORRIBLE paint quality so I have paint chips at my front bumper - but nothing but some sort of bra will help you there but otherwise - this stuff rules.

Can speak to both Meguiars and Zymol...comes down to personal preference. I've used Zymol exclusively for about 10 years now. Yeah, I know...I know..expensive as hell, but damn...my cars have all looked great because of it (most of them older BMWs...). We've come a long way since the days of Turtle Wax...
