Default Autoglym

I went to an autobody paint shop and asked them what they use. They said 100%. . .Autoglym. It's from Brittain and I have had great luck with it. The Super Resin Polish goes on easy and comes off eary with a microfiber towel. They also have an extra gloss polish that is supposed to be fenominal, but, I haven't tried it yet.

I had a coat on my car at the Cape meet.. didn't you see it :P It's a lot cheaper than Zaino and available at your local Autozone.. I like it because it's real easy to put on and take off..Makes the color a little deeper too..

Here's a pic right after I put some on:

you should try Blackfire, it smells better and makes my car feel like it was plated with PTFE.

BTW, i saw on TV that Dupont is now marketing it's own Teflon car wax.

I use autoglym as well. It seems to be pretty rare here in the states, the marketers here aren't very good at marketing. This product is what Rolls, Bently, Aston Martin, Championship porsche, Ferarri, etc......endorse. It might just be a little hype or marketing (in europe at least) but if they use the product on those cars exclusively, I know I am not in bad company.

My family is in the car business here in Socal and my dad actually flew to England to go to the factory (as well as the Aston factory) and learn all about the product, etc......pretty amazing stuff.

Maccamera, where do you get your autoglym???

Default Zaino

They have a starter kit for around $100.0 with all you'll need for a long time..Remember to go very, very, light on the actual application of the Z-2.( Believe it's Z-2) If you can see the film it's probably too much.. Also you won't need to mix much of the accelerator that is added to the Z-2..It goes a long,long way..good luck

Yep, the Zaino starter kit is the way to go.

I would start off with a couple coats of Z-5, then switch to Z-2. Be sure to pick up some microfiber towels for applying and removing polish and for applying Z-6. Good luck and post pics of the final result!

The great thing about Zaino on lighter cars (mine is chrome silver) is after clay baring and the first round of applications, subsequent washings and Zaino appl;ications (Z5 & Z6) are easy and keep making the car look better. It kinda keeps itself clean.
