Well of course you don't have wax lines, you have a white car. :-)

I use Zaino Bros. They were rated to be the best, by far, by a now (I believe) defunct magazine called Guru reports, although their website is still running at www.gurureports.org

I have been told before that if you use the right wax, you won't get wax lines on the clear bra. I don't understand how that could be. If the wax turns hazy when it cures (and what wax doesn't), it will leave the haziness at the edge of the bra. It took A LOT of detail work to get it out of mine, and it would never be completely gone. When you add up the distance of the perimeter of the edge of the bra, you end up with about 30 feet of detail work. It got old real fast...

Maybe the wax lines are just less noticeable on light colored cars...blaze red really contrasted with white, that is for sure.

By the way, Zymol Councours Carnauba was rated 40 out of 46 on their score card, with 46 being the bottom of the list. They did mention, though, that this wax has a strong following. I should scan the report card page and post it. Hey...I can start a new thread on waxes, that oughta be fun!
