Krown Illuminate

Fresh paint, now just have to wax it.
What do u recommend using? My painter recommended using Krown Illuminate.
I have never heard of it, but he swears it's awsome stuff.

Never heard of that stuff.

I would try a Mother's or Meguiar's paste wax.
And stay away from those abrasive cleaner/waxes, you don't need them on your new paint.

u dont need any wax on fresh paint. u have to let it cure for a couple weeks. some suggest a month. if u get things on ur car in that time that wont come off with a wash, u gotta clay or buff it out befor the wax goes on. u might know this but i just figured i would tell u since u said it was fresh.

i agree with him, stay away from the cleaner waxes for now they remove old wax and oxidation. most like mothers or meguias, im trying 3m for the first time because my friend is a die hard 3m user and loves everything about it.

Yup, that's what i did, the car has been sitting with fresh paint in a garage for over 3months now. And we buff it about a month ago.

So would u guys suggest Zaino? If so which one? There's so many Z1 Z2, i have no clue what to use.
thx for the input.

Dunno about the zaino, I've never used the stuff. But most people here swear by it. I guess it leaves a very deep looking gloss.
