[christophbmw]

im using klasse wax/polish to wax my cae and 3m super duty rubbing compound to polish. i use klasse vinyl cleaner on my interioe and meguirs gold class all metal restorer on my wheels.
what do you guys use? just curoius on whats good and whats not. i didnt get good results with the meguiars wax and their polis....i was using their high tech yellow wax.

I like 3M polish (fine cut), and I usually use zymol wax. my car needs clayed and buffed pretty badly though, didn't get to all of it last year. stupid winters..

Another vote for 3M Fine Cut...Zaino is great for dark solid colors, Griots Garage is great for everything else...doesn't last though, Zymol definitely last...as far as waxes go.

Also another seriously helpful step i've started using is 3M's Hand Glaze before waxing it. Really preps it for the wax.

usually megiaurs diamond cut, automagic waxes, which I really like, very easy to work with.
I've used 3M siht pretty extensively to, I like 3M cutting compunds but I hate their glazes

I've Used 1Z Ultra Paint Polish followed by 1Z Paint Polish for my major detailing
Followed By Klasse AIO and SG (which i havnt used yet, never have enough time in the day)

I have a porter Cable orbital buffer and the thing is great! I recommend it to anyone that wants to learn how to detail. Worth Every penny!

This spirng I want to try out eaither the Pinnacle Souverän Carnauba Wax or the P21S Carnauba Wax. As anyone tried both?

[Gonzo318is]

I use Kit (paste) or Zymol.

[RCWells]

I tested the Klasse, P21S, Zano, and one other (I can't remeber what) side by side, and the P21S polish resulted in as much or more shine and depth as the others but less scratching/swirling, that is, the area polished, was much cleaner looking when finished. The stuff is just plain awesome. It goes on and comes off super easy. The ONLY drawback I can find is that the Wax doesn't seem to hold up as long as others I have used. But I am definitely sticking with the polish.

BTW, as I understand it, you can get the EXACT same formula as the P21S for less money from your local Harley-Davidson dealer in the S100 packaging. ;)

One other thing, Zymol purchased at your local auto parts store is made by Turtle Wax, and not the original Zymol formula, or so I have been told. :?

klasse is known to be very durable and last for about 3 moths.

Klasse AIO is very good, if you're just an average joe person, But there are better products out there. Also, Klasse requires a buffer, so don't even considering working it in by hand unless you have the manliest beef hand ever.

true that, that shit is hard to buff off if you let it sit to long. The Sealent glaze tho is tottaly different. You can do the whole car and then buff it all off if its in the shade.

I personally think AIO looks greatt, just you need more toppings if you want a more deep, wett looking paint (IE -- AIO, SG, Wax)

[robert325is]

i use meguiars when i have the time and want a nice, deep shine, then use and orbital buffer. If i'm in a hurry i use some NuFinish and hand buff it out, it looks gret and you can apply it in the sun.. i havent used it in about 2.5 months and my cars is still very shiny after about 10 washes
