Re: And you are saying??? (archive)

: If you read the packaging and web material on the Meguiar's Gold Class product, it is not a Carnauba based wax product like their other lines are. In fact, if you look at Megauir's web page and the discription of Gold Class, it says it is a polymer product. Here is a line from their web page; 'Its rich polishing oils and tough polymer protection glide on easily, leaving a durable . . .'. No were, for this product, does it say carnauba.
: So, I don't really understand your comment, both are polymer based, from what I can tell. Some of Meguires's other lines are carnauba based.
: Just trying to provide some more facts for this discussion.

Interesting. Also, as far as proven products over the years, Sal Zaino said that Zaino has been used since 1978. I don't know how long carnuba has been around (probably much longer)- still, I think these "new" water based paints must have come out later than 78 so the amount of time that both carnuba and polymer type waxes and polishes have been tried on water based paints is probably the same.

In my case, the finish on my car was bad enough that I was considering a repaint anyway. Zaino saved me from that, at least for the next 20 years.

Interesting about the Meguairs site advertising it as a polymer!!! :D

Again, I had no problem with Meguairs.
I understand Griot's has a great line too.
Below I will post my favorite Zymol-lover's post...
I am just thankful that SOMETHING worked for me!
