Wax on..................

I might have expected to hear from the Zaino cult
from the very begining, and we did! You have an
easy color to work with so keep it simple. If your
G is going to be garage kept then the choices are
many. You can't go wrong with anything Meguiars
and it's available everywhere. My choice would be
Zymol liquid wax to start. You get good protection
and it's easy to apply, just follow directions. What
is important when wiping down your car is that
you use micro-fiber towels, way better than the old
school cotton towels. Just keep them clean!

Copy and paste from the FAQ:

"When you're done this it's time to seal/wax. Which you pick is up to you. *Generally* sealants last longer than waxes, some people prefer the look of waxes. I think there is a right product for each car, no best. It's a personal decision. Remember, prep is 95%; the sealant/wax is for protection and some added aesthetic, but proper clay and polish is what makes a car look good. So spend time prepping rather than worrying overly about the best wax. "

On silver some of my favorites are Werkstatt Acrylic Jett for sealants and P21S or clearkote carnauba for waxes. Cheers.

Do you use the prime strong or anything before Acrylic Jett?

From what I've read its the next generation of the Klasse twins ... gotta go through my Klasse stuff before I invest in this but was wondering if Acrylic Jett is easier to work with than KSG

I tried, at the recommendation from another site, Clearkote VMHG and Poorboys EX-P on my parents silver/platinum TL ... holy cow did it turn out looking great.
