What wax will look best on a silver Z? Thanks, Randy

 

there is no answer to this question - iwax is the last thing you put on, and to a large extent, doesn't determine the final result.

It will depend on the quality of your paint, other steps you take prewax, as well as tools/techniques, etc

 

He's right, but I use Zxmol on my Redline and love it and it's easy to use.

 

I just used Adam's Americana Paste Was and I think I have found "my" new wax. It makes a beautiful shine and is relatively easy to use. Here are a couple pictures right after I finished.

 

Zymol != wax. Zymol is a sealant, and a mediocre one at best.

OP, why don't you PM Greg@DetailedImage for advice? They carry top of the line products and his knowledge of his products and detailing is second to none. He has helped many on this forum. I think that's your best option.

 

I am amazed at the misinformed members about detailing! This includes myself as I had A LOT of misconseptions before I started researching. That is where I learned by reading and reading some more not from asking an opinion about wax...G/L OP

 

I use their cleaner/wax and think it's a very good wax.

 

Lol, bro my mistake. I was on like three different forums at the time and for some reason thought I was talking about Zaino, not Zymol. You are correct, Zymol is a very good wax.

Let me correct myself, Zaino != wax. Zaino is a sealant.

 

No problem.

 

Thanks for the replys, I am saving up for the Flex XC3401VRG Starter Package and the Polish and Protection Perfection Package. I asked the question because I see that the wax in this package works best on darker colored paint but I have a silver Z. I was thinking about using Dodo Juice Light Fantastic Soft Wax.

 

As stated, this is no one "wax". The appearance is very subjective, it's up to your personal opinion.

 

I prefer sealants on silver cars. I like Z2Pro and if I want to add a little glow to the pop from the mettalic paint, I just spray on Optimum Car wax after Z2Pro.

 

has any one used that ICE stuff the polish/wax???

 

Making silver stand out can be more challenging, but is certainly possible. I don't think silver will ever look as deep as black paint but with the right products you can make silver look really eye catching!

Polishes are pretty universal and don't really vary with the color. If the paint is brand new I would suggest a really light polish like the Menzerna PO106FA or even the Menzerna PO85RD. Both of these polishes have some light cutting power to remove ultra light surface imperfections. If you want to just use a cleaning polish try the P21S Paintwork Cleanser.

For sealants I have found the Menzerna FMJ to be one of the best looking products on the market. It has a deep gloss relative to other sealants and strong protection.

For waxes I HIGHLY recommend the Dodo Juice Diamond White Hard Wax or Dodo Juice Light Fantastic Soft Wax. They are both specifically designed for lighter colors like silver and making them look glossy. They are the perfect solution for the ultimate shine on silver paint. If you want a great value try the Poorboy's World Natty's Red Paste Wax. It applies with ease and looks outstanding.

Let me know if you have any questions about these products or any part of detailing.

ICE detail spray sucks so i've never been close to using their other products. I usually stick with Tech Wax 2.0 $20 a bottle lasts about 4-6 weeks, i wash my car every week too. if you do better pre-wax work like clay bar and polish your wax will look way better!

 

Buy whatever wax smells best and be happy. Learn how to polish your car and laugh at people with swirls.

 

I like P21S 100% Carnauba wax.Very easy on and off and leaves a great shine.But like stated above,it all depends on your prep work before the wax.

 

Mother's Reflections Wax and Top Coat does a good job on my Carbon Silver Metallic. But, understand that you will never get that super wet look that Black and Red naturally get. Hard to find in most off the shelf stores, but can be bought cheaper online.

 

I thought it was pretty good for a retail product : /

 

it smelled good but always left streaks on my black Z and super streaks on the glass
