Tropi-Care = Teh Shit

Its not overpriced and you dont have to mix it with something and then let it dry forever like zaino... Tropi-care hazes over in about 20- 30 sec.

EDIT: I have a black Ws6 and after I used the swirl remover with a buffer and then when over it with the polish... WOOOO, it was looking good. There are still some swirls but nothing out of the ordinary for a daily driver.

I use a whole slew of products to get what I have on my car:

Mother's Clay bar
Menzerna Intensive Polish (with PC 7424 + Orange foam pad)
Menzerna Final Polish (with PC 7424 + White foam pad)
Blackfire All Finish Paint Protectant
P21S (top coat)

Needless to say, I figured out (the hard way) that you have to use a whole process if you want to get your car looking as good as it can. Take this for what you will.

The best wax is NO wax. Synthetic Polishes are the latest and greatest way to protect your vehicle's finish. Be careful of off-the-shelf products such as the new Meguiar's NXT, as it still contains silicone. Looks are not everything, ya know ;)

I don't quite think I'd go jumping out on that limb just yet...there are some very good, high quality waxes out there (like P21S and Pinnacle Souveran) that do a very good job. It all depends on what each individual person is looking for in a finish...for me, Zaino didn't give me the look I wanted. It was bright, but not particularly deep or wet looking on black paint. I tried Blackfire (another synthetic paint protectant), and it had a good look to it by itself, but I tried layering Carnuba (P21S) over the top to see what happened. The look is incredible...it produces a very nice finish, and is very deep and wet. The paint glows like this.

Granted, I'm sure Tropi-care is a million times better than Turtle wax from Wal-Mart, but don't forget that there are some other products out there that will give better results based on application, and some of those are even carnuba waxes. It is all in the eye of the beholder in this business...sure, a carnuba won't last as long, but for someone like me that is always messing around with the paint, that plays no significant part in my decision making process.
