    I wash with Duragloss every other week and my 6-layers of Z-2/5 is still beading (applied them back in October).

    No need to buy an expensive car wash -- No need AT ALL.



    Just go grab some Meguiers Crystal Car Wash -- I think its actually called Meguiers Deep Crystal Car Wash. It is a few bucks, and comes in a concentrated formula .. half gallon or so? -- Use a few oz of it per gallon. Lasts a long time, and might cost you a few pennies or a nickle per wash.



    Its safe , I`ve tested it often, from removing any LSP`s.



    Two reasons I recommend this.



    A) I use it solely.



    It isn`t something you have to order, and can be found virtually anywhere in the United States as Walmart, Autozone, Advanced Auto Parts, Pep Boys, and a host of other places carry it always. -- The biggy being Walmart. I can almost guarantee you`ll find it at your local wally world.

    Haven`t used Zanio but would`nt Megs NXT wash/shampoo be a good OTC choice as NXT is a sealant?

    Yup that would be fine,..

    Cheap and good. The wash I mentioned is basically the same thing without the NXT label. Also I believe the Deep Crystal is a bit cheaper,.. either way those are both cheap.

    Anything else works well. I used NXT, and ONR. No problems here.
    Converted over to ONR & now Lowes grout sponge. Protected by 3M clear bra, and one layer of Zaino is all you need!
