Zaino's gets my vote
I used the Zaino Bro's products on my black S'Crew and have never had a slicker, shinier vehicle. Just read the tips on the Zaino site, follow the directions, and enjoy the best looking truck in town!!! Take a look at hte link in my signature to see a picture of it. Makes me proud!!!
By the way, the vinegar diluted with water in a squirt bottle works great for the water spots on my boat in the picture.

Zymol. Wow!
Used Zymol on the black HD and the truck is P E R F E C T now! Dunno if Zaino would have done the same job or not but I'm certainly tempted to try it based on all the good things people say here about it.
Zymol was difficult to apply and polish out, but the truck sure looks great.

I usually buff off the Zymol before it dries completely. It's much easier that way. You can use a damp applicator,and it won't go on as heavy,too. I have heard VERY good things about Zaino bros. also. The several different steps would kill me,though I nearly keel over from heat exhaustion just from one coat of Zymol,hehehe,,,,,98

Cherry Wet Wax, as good as any if not better. Great shine, easy on / off, and very reasonably priced. Check this site for what to do to your car: http://www.autopia-carcare.com/ and check this site to get your Cherry Wet Wax, clay bars, and other stuff: http://www.coatsproducts.com/ . Check out my album and website if you wish for the quality of finish.

ZAINO, goes on easy, a little goes a long way, comes off easy. You can let it dry overnight if you want and it still comes right off. Great for those late night cleanings when it gets to dark to see and you miss a spot. The multiple steps are not necessary every time either.
98Screamer, try a foam pad made for clear coats and your swirls will be history. Terry and wool are too harsh on clear coats especially Fords super thin coat.
MrChrome, Sal Zaino himself will tell you that dish soap will remove his products as well.

There is a Zaino Distributor in Des Moines. A friend from work brought my attention to their products today. He started to use them and is very pleased with the results. I think I might make the switch from Mequires and try it on my HD based on his recommendation and from the responses on this board.

I am with Zymol
Here are some pics of my truck with Zymol and I think its pretty damn shnazzy.Here are some pics for you guys enjoyment. I think I might sleep with my bottle of Zymol tonight, I am proud of it, its been like 6 months since I waxed and I had some pretty harsh swirlies but I slapped some Zymol and *poof* away they went.
P.S.
a Good appilcator/removing tool is the yellow flannel towels Wally World (Walmart) sells they are extra soft and they take off excess wax without too much trouble.
Also keep in mind I am a ranch boy from the boonies, and this is a 98 truck I have had for 3 years now, now dont tell me thats a kick@$$ shine we got going on there.
