    There this was call Zano iand it is the most amazing wax ever. When I use it on my black suburban it doesnt give it the spider web look. Very deep color.

    Nothing, Polish only. Wax does not allow the paint to breath.

    Why does paint need to breath?

    New paint for the first few years should need a polish (correct) after that just waxing is fine.

    Dri wash & gaurd is a polish The base resin for paint(urethane) loves to breath.(read outgas) Waxing will close in the pores and you will have to wax continually to maintain the shine. Polish removes oxidation and returns the finish to its original gloss. I paint cars for a living(30 years) and never ever wax. Polish only. If a clear coat has been applied properly, you should never have to polish for years. Paint on my Bonneville is 7 years old.Never touched and looks like new. Over washing a car will lead to hazing of the topcoat.Then you have to polish. Never ever paint with acrylic enamel. Pollution will destroy the finish very quickly.Urethane only!
    WAX ON WAX OFF.
