Looking for advice on what to go with on my new A4 Avant.

Looking for something that looks good, lasts, yet is easy to apply.

1Z Glanz? If so, where can I get it in the GTA?
Zaino? If so, where can I get it in the GTA?

Any other personal recommendations?

Thanks!

I am not sure what the guy here uses but they apply it once a year and protects the clear coat I need to find out what it is!

I personaly love the mothers products. Last weekend i got out the clay bar and the full 3 stage wax and it looks beautifal.....

I enjoy cleaning the car, so for me to spend the extra money on the higher end stuff dosent make sence. I will wax the car at least once a month just because.

I used the mothers 3 stage with a PC orbital buffer, no clay bar. Pretty good results, but I found the polish is a bit mild... I probably could have worked it a bit harder to take down some usual spider webby stuff, but the glaze, and wax both applied easily and evenly. That was a month ago, and the car still looks good, but doesn't bead water quite like it did after being freshly waxed... Overall I'd use the sytem again, but might substitute a slightly more aggressive polish. Meguiars has a number of different compounds available too, check out the "mirror glaze" line.

Cheers!

I've tried some of the Zymol stuff (carbon) and got good results and they ship to your door.

i've been told that waxing actually damages your clear coat. how true is this statement?
