Prelim Report (not finished)
OMG!!! This stuff is cool! I thought for sure I would not be able to tell any thing due to all the Zaino I had on the car.
I washed with zaino wash to get the heavy dirt off because I noticed the CG was more alcohol based than soap based. Once all clean, I used the CG wash by wetting car and spraying wash all over the car. Wiped down with my wash mitt. Rinsed car, and sprayed CG over entire car and went over it with a 100% cotton rag. I let that sit for about 15 minutes. I then went over it again to make sure it was spread evenly (Up and down on the sides and back and fourth on the top surfaces). I then dried the car and it was a little hazy. I then let dry for an additional 15 minutes and sprayed with water. Applied the second coat of CG the same way. This time instead of trying to further dry it after letting it sit for a few minutes, I wet it again and used the CG wash to ensure no haze. (The CG wash eventually clogged the nozzle. Whats in this stuff?)
This stuff makes the car look like it has been dipped in a gloss. By the end of the day it was looking even better. It is not as reflective as Zaino, but it does appear to be a way deeper shine. So maybe it is as reflective, but the reflections get lost
I have a half bottle of each left. I will see what it looks like tomorrow and maybe add another coat. I hope I can get more of this stuff soon. It is not uncommon for me to clean the car 3+ times a week!

hey, how does your car look like so far?

My only concern is the price. I wont lie it is pricey but if it holds up better than the conventional waxes / polishes (Zaino, Liquid Glass, Zymol, etc) I will just have to teach myself to restrain from reapplying. I do spend $200 a year on Zaino for just my car, but they say keep applying to your hearts content, it will just keep getting better. I think they are right it does look better. I know someday the GF wont want me spending so much time on the car so maybe I will buy more Crystal Guard for her!!
If you want me to see how the car looks with say 8-10 sequential coats of CG send me some more.

Actually 49.95 bottle, which is 40 bucks with your discount coupon, you can do 8 layers. It's 5 bucks per application.
