This is usually my go to combo for the nicer months. The Souveran paste is very expensive so I don't imagine too many people would buy it. I can't imagine detailing a car by hand after detailing for years with the Dewalt, PC and now my Flex.

There is a dedicated forum here for detailing.
I have used several brands of products including. I have settled with S100/P21S paint cleaner and wax. It takes about 15 minutes to apply/remove on my Supercrew, very quick and easy to work with. It lasts 3-4 months and looks great. About the only negative is more dust/lint gets on the paint vs. Zaino.

That's hustlin'.
Gonna have to look at this for those times when I need something fast.

For my truck I like to use Megs cleaner, polisher, and then NXT 2.0 Comes out with a great shine and is smooth as can be.
For my wife's Maxima (black) I use Megs Cleaner, Turtle wax black polish and NXT 2.0. The Nissan black looks sexy when I get done with it, and the hand towels for getting the wax out of all the hard to reach spots will slide off the roof, but damn if it doesn't look dirty 3 days later!
Did a quick wax job on my truck the first weekend of January with my new 10" buffer I got for Christmas, it always shines up nice with the 2.0. I can't wait for the weather to break so I can really shine up both cars for the spring.

Whatever Zaino you choose, you'll have sore fingers and shoulders from applying and mixing so many times 
. My last f-150, I did their 3 step process with z2 & z5 (yes, i used the "wonderful" flash cure additive). Took 8 hours. Don't get me wrong, it looked great.
I now use NXT and in 1 hour get the same results for much, much, much less $$.

Blackfire Wet Diamond. Nuff said.
Meguiars has a new product for 2011 called Ultimate Wax http://www.meguiarsonline.com/forums...ad.php?t=46204 and is their most durable wax/sealant to date. Probably will have to give it a try as everything else I've used from Megs has been top shelf stuff.
