5 Star Shine

[BimmerGuy]

Can anyone let me know if this stuff really works. I just got my new X5 4.8 and wanted to keep it shiny and new. Please send pics. Thanks.

You'll mainly hear about Zaino and p21s. I prefer p21s on my jet black e53. Zaino is synthetic polymer and p21s is a pure carnuba. Zaino will last longer since it's a polymer but takes multiple steps---p21s goes on and off so easy. I use p21s every 3 months here in Dallas and mine is garaged and it's fine. It really depends how much time you want to put into it--for me, there's nothing easier than p21s.

I like Meguiar's NXT Generation Tech Wax. Zanio is great, but there are too many steps. I use the liquid and goes on and off easy. It has a great shine as well...

NXT did not fair well on durability in the Gurureports.org wax test (the holy grail of wax testing). Zaino was #1 and p21s #2. IMO, if you are spending $60K on a BMW go with a concours wax like p21s and Zaino--the stuff you get at Autozone is nothing in comparison. Meguiars is kind of the GM of waxes--ok and does the job but there are better choices if you want to spend a little extra $.

Zaino is not that diffiucult to apply...and worth every minute of the effort.

No Xpert, but imo, "5Star Shine" is in the same class as Nu Finish
and some other wonder finishes, "as seen on TV", lol!

Pick Zaino or P21s or some known, well regarded "wax".
