so i just painted my 20 year old iroc-z, macco did it,( but it looks great so dont worry) i went with the top job i guess 2 shots of white and a shot of clear or poly whatever they use,, it looks great,, but i have to get it ready and wax it up what do you guys recommend as far as wax goes,, i know its not that much clear on there so i wont be using any cleaners or polishes or any of that,, i need a nice wax to make it shine!

 

Zaino.

 

Pinnacle paste wax.

Order it, receive it, use it. Enough said. Ok, more to say. It is a POLISH not a wax and that is a big difference.

 

I Agree

Zaino FTMFW

It's 99% Optically Clear, so every layer is almost like adding a thin layer of clear

Put on about 5 layers and watch your smile IN THE SHINE

 

this ziano is all polishes,,, not having 2 layers of clear on my new paint is turning me off to it!!! but i do want to pick up the sealer,,, maybe the enhancer spray to,, the way its lookin im just gonna use some gay fockin over the counter carnuba wax no cleaner waxes either ,, unless you have any more ideas

 

It's a "polish" only because it's a synthetic product and not natural like a carnauba wax. The only Zaino products with any abrasiveness are Z-PC and, to a lesser extent, Z-AIO.

 

i have always used mguires quick wax, the spray on stuff. i think it works really good, prolly still a good idea to use a regular wax once and a while though

 

I roll with macguiars (sp?), quick wax is definitely good, first product I ever bought of theirs. Now I have:

Clay bar
paint cleaner
paint polish
cleaner wax
Gold Class paste wax
Qwik wax
quick detailer
rubber/vinyl cleaner/conditioner
Leather treatment
Scratch-x
plastic-x
car wash soap
microfiber towels

all my macguairs

Its all I use and I do love it and so does my father in law on his 05 black Vette, but however once all of my stuff runs out (whenever that is, probly in like a year) I will try out the Zaino Bros. stuff for a little while for a change.

Still unsure as to why you are afraid of 'Polish' such as Zaino. It was designed by a guy who painted show cars for years.... Basically an expert in the industry designing a paint protectant to do exactly what you are asking, protect the paint while providing an extremely brilliant finish

If you are thinking of Carnuba, well then G/L with that.... I mean gee if you like to spend EVERY DAY rubbing wax around for 5 hours

You do understand that most 'True' Waxes desolve and after about a week in the elements are degraded substantially, after that it's downhill fast for protection

Yet most 'New World' paint protection (ie 'Polish') stands up to the elements better and lasts MUCH MUCH Longer

So you decide, how much time, $$$, and effort you feel is right, but you really should have Zero Fear with Zaino, as it's designed to do exactly what you are asking

 

i think im gonna have to try this zaino wax,, i hear so many good things about it... the reason i was scared because polishes are usually abrasive,, but well give it a whirl,, its better then turtle wax

 

p21s here, I use their paint cleanser as well. Its a good product for shine as its a showcar wax. I think my cars looks best with two coats of it put on at least 24 hrs apart. All other products i use are 3m, with some small exceptions (leather cleaner and conditioner, whitewall wash, tire dressings).

 

I use Meguiars NXT Generation Tech Wax 2.0 , I was impressed since the first time I used it, makes the car look like it was just painted and the color looks deep and shiny. Several guys at work have asked me "did you paint it?" "Did you polish it?"

 

ok so i was thinking,, and tell me if its over kill z-3 z-5 z-cs z-6 z-8 in that order

 

For a basic Zaino starter set, get the car wash, clay bar and Z2 if they used a clear coat. No clear coat, use whatever is listed on the Zaino site. The gloss enhancer works really well.
