I tried that teflon wax it seems to last the longest for the off the shelf products for me, but i want something better.

I've tried both the NXT and Zaino and they work really well, but Zaino is by far better in the durability dept. You wont be disappointed switching to Zaino. The stuff bonds to your car like you wouldn't believe. Even car wash after car wash the water still beads on my car really well and that's with ony 2 coats; yes this car is a daily driver. Just make sure to follow the instructions step by step.

Right on! You busted your butt for 3 hours and present crummy pictures of your hard work. You are shortchanging yourself. Get a real camera, or at least take and post a few pix in bright sunlight.

FYI, I spend 3 DAYS detailing my cars.

Hey, another Sewell customer! Sewell is acutally the 2nd largest dealer in the country behind JM Lexus in Florida. I'm sure there's a lot more of us hiding around here...

Why would you do that? You just said that you love the way the car looks and also that you would recommend the wax - if you like it, don't switch. You're more likely to consistently use something that you like and more importantly is easy to use, and the most important aspect of waxing your car is continued, consistent use...

haha i love the NXT but the durability isnt great. Also, I am running out of the wax so im thinking about switching to zaino and giving it a try. And yes the gas prices are suprising so I hear. How does it compare to other states? Give me a hint of my peripheral states' gas prices.

Nice car and nice wax. I used Zaino and it works really well for me. I can't compare it with other waxes since it's the only wax i used so far and like it so no need to change. Here is a sample of Zaino :
