one day when I have a six car garage I will think about thinking about getting another black car

FK 425 goes over Zaino or whatever wax you choose. I think all high end waxes are rough 98% the same so I'm not that brand loyal.
425 is not meant to replace your favorite wax. The anti-static ingredients --sounds like a tv infomercial but this really is the only product that doesn't have an equivalent-- make 425 an LSP (last step product) to curtail your wax's dust/lint/pollen attraction. ANd of course the extra barrier makes whatever is underneath last a very long time.
My fave part is what it does during rainfall, acts like a teflon coating, dirt runs down to the lower portions of the car so it drys 'clean'.
works very well on glass, dash, wheels.

p.s.
I'm going to experiment using 425 with waffle weave type towels only which means no hooked microfiber towels, the kind with the prickly ends that everyone in the world has now. I cleaned the car a month ago and forgot to bring along mf towels, I only had waffle weave drying towels (the Poorboys are EXCELLENT) so I did the spray wax and 425 aplication with the waffle weaves and it came out great. MF is great for removing paste waxes and denser liquid waxes where more bite is required but the downside to MF is that it's hard to keep clean and its really overkill for a smooth,freshly prep'd surface-you don't need the bite. kinda like drying your plates with a brillo pad. I have to wash my mf towels several times to seperate the debris from the hooks, that's asking for trouble...better to skip all that and used closed loops like on concours buffing towel in the final detailing steps.
