I here is a pic of my car 1 week after I got it with NXT wax on it:



Here are some different shots with Zaino (Z2-pro x3 and Z8 in between):



Have you used Zaino before? It is really awesome for reflections, but I am not entirely sure about it on Beige cars (or lighter metallics). If you have a properly polished dark car, then its awesome.

Between the pics above - I prefer the NXT wax.

For leather - go to www.leatherique.com and get their cleaner & conditioner. It smells awesome and does a great job.

Before you wax your car, you will probably want to clay it. After you wash it, run your fingers over the paint. Does it feel gritty? Then it needs to be clayed. If its smooth as glass then your ok.

Check out www.autopia.org for another addictive site with lots of good detailing info :)
