So those of you with the shinny Miatas what wax do you use?
On the POSII I used Finish 2001 by Turtle Wax, the stuff worked wonders on the non clear coated finish.
But now that the '99 is a clear coat car figure there may be something better for it! :cool:

I use Nu-Finish. FYI..the paint on the '99 models is a 1-stage paint. Clearcoat is mixed in, not on top of the base. (You'll still get some color on your pad when waxing)
I use Zymol on the local VW Carshow First Place award winning VW.
Here's the official LINKIE.
Here's a decent pic...
Not bad looking for a 6 year old car! That Zymol does a great job.

I used to use Zaino on my car... but I noticed that I would often get a white looking glaze on the car a short time after I used it. Did anyone else notice this? It was real noticable on the dark paint.
I currently use Meguiars (the 3 step stuff).

You have to buff the wax off the car.Originally Posted by Dave04
Actually, I have noticed that I get some white streaks on my car that I can't seem to get off (I have a dark blue Miata), but that's after washing, not waxing. I wash the car, and dry it, and invariably I get faint white hazy streaks on the hood and trunk (probably along the sides too, but I can't see them there). So I claybar, thinking it's some residue that washing alone won't get off. Then I wash again (with fresh, clean water obvoiusly), dry it again (with a fresh clean white towel), and... there are those pale white streaks again.
Maybe it's something in the Zaino...?

Yeah... maybe I deserved that...
But seriously... I was thinking it was something in the Zainos... it would appear some time later after waxing.

Never had that problem. Are you sure you were doing it right?

Nien.
And thanks!
I use the 3 step maguiars. I really like the way the car looks when it is done. Sammm, the only paint I got on my towels was from off of the mirrors before they were repainted. I think the EM were clear coated. I might be wrong.
They could be. Red isn't clear coated that's for sure.
Maybe not where it was repainted?
I used to use Zaino bros but it got old and so now I have someone wax my car -- every 12 months whether it is needed or not.
Just bustin' yer chops. :cool:
