Re: car wax

From what I've read Pinnacle sovereign is the best visually. I just went and bought Kasse all-in-one since it last much longer. I can't believe I just spent $120 on car care products!

They have a product called speed shine works well in between washing. I find it works better than any other spritz.(sp) I have also used their best of show wax and find it very good. they have a hand book you can download on how to apply their stuff.

Re: car wax

Black is REALLY hard to keep shiny. We did a friends black truck with Zaino and it shined so well we could see color in the reflection. Zaino will run about $60 for everything you need. I've used it for almost three years now and swear by it. Anything you can buy in a store (Pep Boys, etc) is probably not worth it. I haven't used the really high end stuff, but Zaino works wonders where others have come up short.

Remember, no matter where you go, there you are.

Re: car wax

I recommend Zaino 100%. You will not be disappointed.

Zaino on a black paint job, otherwise unwaxed. Keep in mind that this is on a 7 year old paint job...



And on lighter colors:

That's the original paint, which was not in the best condition before I started.

BTW, it takes me about 4 hours to do the initial application of Zaino. It involves 4 coats, in addition to the clay bar before, with instant detailer in between coats of Zaino Z5 and Z2. It might seem like a lot of time, but most of it is spent waiting for the stuff to dry. Also, you must wait 30 minutes between coats (that's two hours right there). Nonetheless, it's worth it.

Re: car wax

hey vince . . . nice pics of the work you did . . i always like the "im in the picture picture" -

posting pics of shine always makes me nervous though, there are so many variables and it inevitably leads to more pics of nice clean shiny cars and the "mines better than yours" debate. (I've done it too though) so dont think im picking on you
