Used to use 'em all the time - when I drove a '70 something Pinto - which was worse?

Did you leave his trunk that way? LOL Or did you finish his trunk and he has the nicest looking trunk around.
I did finish waxing his car. He did not know that his paint has some metallic properties. We were both surprised to find that out while I was waxing his car.

I used Turtle wax also the same way you were doing it. I had to buy the black and red. Then I mixed a part of the black to the red paint to create a burgundy color for my claret. It did the job getting the scratches out. Now I have this new wax to do the final detail.

I posted this thread to get everybody's opinions. I'm just thrilled about this new wax I've tried because I have been searching for something that's simple to use and will bring back the shine on my car. I used that Dawn detergent before to wash my car, it was too strong, it took away the luster. Now I use Zymol Auto Wash. I used a lot of popular products including Meguiar's, Turtle wax, Nu-Finish, Mother's and I wasn't satisfied with any of them. The Zymol is good but I'm still not 100% happy with the results.

I considered having my car repainted to get that mirror-like finish, but it's too costly. My car has so many paint chipped on the hood and a few dings and scratches. But with the Final Detail, they're hardly noticeable. Until I find something bad about this product, I will continue using it. I love how it makes my car look so new. I used to think that waxing my car is a chore, back aches and sore arms and wrists...now, it's a pleasure.

One word: ZYMOL.

That stuff is amazing. And the faded Camry? I'm pretty sure ANY wax on that car would achieve those results... but man, ZYMOL owns. Try some and let us know how it compares because so far I think its EASILY #1.

ZYMOL was the one I've been using 'til I found Final Detail. It wasn't to my standard of satisfaction. But it's your own preference. If it's good enough for you, great.

The faded Camry, he also used ZYMOL for a year and he was happy with the product, but he never thought it could get much better.

One word... WOW!
