LOL... Free wax works for me. This is for the scoobie. I could care less about how the 240 looks. :P At least until I paint it.

Meguiars Gold Glass is some good stuff too and you can find it anywhere. Zymol leaves a slightly better finish, but it does not last nearly as long. Klaase is very good too, but extremely hard to find. I have heard good things about Zaino, but I haven't tried it.

Both me and my dad use Zainos. It is amazing and it is deffinatly worth the money. I have a picture of my car from the cookout with the Zainos on but it isn't that great. I'll wash the car this weekend and put up some more pics.

3M makes a product called "Pink Filler Glaze" which does wonders for filling swirl marks. Goes on easy and comes off easy.

AutoMagic makes a product called "Seal-It" which does the same thing.

Both will do a great job of giving it that "wet look" and will make the finish look darker and richer.

I switched from Meguiars Show wax to the Zainos and one thing happened that suprised me. The color wasnt as deep as with the Meguiars but the metallic flakes in the paint stood out ALOT more than normal. I kinda liked that really deep, wet look but the new ultra metallic paint was just as good. Also, the paint is really smooth with the Zainos for alot longer than with a most waxes i've tried.

The best one coat wax is Meguiers cleaner/wax. It has paint cleaner in it that will help fill in and smooth out swirls and it still leaves a protective finish. I use it a lot on my Stealth. And its in your budget at $5 a bottle. ;)

If you use a cleaner it will help smooth out the swirls. A polish helps fill in swirls and give a wet look to the paint. Wax only protects the paint, although a lot of waxes contains some polish.

That Zaino stuff looks cool, but alot of people seem to like meguiers, so I will probably go with that. Just one question... Is it ok to use a cleaner/wax and then put a polish on top of it?

I have all three steps of the miguier set, i used it before the photo shoot and it turned out great. your supposed to go paint cleaner, polish, then wax, if you have cleaner/ wax in the same bottle you should be able to use the polish after.
BTW what is a scooby?
