Ok so i just washed and dryed the car yesterday, and then left it in the garage all day today, and havent driven it since. then today i went over the entire car with QD and a microfiber. Now i am looking to get even more of a deeper rich shine, what do you guys recommend doing? I waxed just last week, so i dont think i need to do that, right? i cant buy zaino cuz i need to do it tmrw, since i wont have time later this weekend or next week. So what do you guys recommend? Thanks!

 

You aren't going to get anything really deep out of a metallic finish such as yours, but a good carnuaba should make it as deep as possible. For a locally available product, you should try Meg's #21 tech wax which has a good carnuaba look to it.

 

where can i pick that up? like wal mart or something?/

 

most autoparts stores should have it, not sure about walmart. If you have a harley dealership near you, then you can get some s100 which is a great carnuaba

 

we have one like 5 mins away.

so i bought that S100 today...and i must say...THANK YOU! that stuff is AMAZING!! thanks for the help. i used it today, and i am soo happy! its so easy to put on and take off. and no powdery residue or anything...i am really impressed!

 

Glad you are happy with it, the durability isn't that great, but the look is hard to beat at that price. I personally don't like to use it on metallics because they are hard to get alot of depth to anyways, so I use a sealant, but I'm sure it looks great on your car

 

can you suggest a sealant? and what exactly is the purpose of the sealant, and when should it be applied? after a wash before wax? thanks!

 

A [synthetic] sealant as opposed to a carnuaba based wax(s100) is made from synthetic polymers and usually has 2-6 months of durability compared to a wax that lasts from .5-3 months. A synthetic sealant will leave a shinier almost plastic looking finish which some people don't like, while a carnuaba wax has a very deep almost wet look to it. I personally use Meguiar's #21 synthetic sealant which can be found at some NAPA stores. Some other good synthetic sealants you can find online include Zaino, Duragloss #105, Menzerna FMJ, Klasse etc.

 

ill give Meguiar's #21 synthetic sealant a shot. how much is that?

 

~$20/16 ounces.

 

not bad. so basically i can use that in replacement of a wax?

 

Yes, i use it exclusively. If you are near beaverton, the NAPA on canyon road near beaverton town square should have the #21, thats where I bought mine last year
