Whats up guys,



I have put on a coat of Zaino Z2 after 2 coats of Z5 .. I have 2 problems.. I have baaaaaaaaaaaad swirls still. I know swirls dont come out over one or two coats, im working on that. The 2nd problem is that , the white isnt shining like I wanted it too..



How would I go about making white look more deeper and "shinier" ?? I ordered Z18 Clay Bar , im gonna clay the whole car, then 2 coats Zaino, 1 Coat Z5 and another of Z2 ..



Are there any other products out there to bring out the best shine and crystal look??
 
Check this album out. Are any of those pictures what you are looking to do? Those are a combination of Klasse pictures, Blackfire, Souveran, and Platinum. I can tell you which are which but you'd have to tell me which you liked. Here is another good one. This one is Liquid Souveran.

Not bad, eh? Ever seen a white car reflect like that in direct sunlight? Me neither. Its pretty sweet stuff. :xyxthumbs

I dont know.. I was kinda looking for a wetter looking shine in the shade.. Wasnt expecting too much in the sun..



As you have used, what did you use that gave you the best shine?
 
I also have a white car and have found Meguiars #9 followed by carnuba to work the best. You will give up quite a bit of durability compared to Zaino, but the paint will look deep and wet regardless of the light. I really think the #9 is the reason for the results because it has the right amount of abrasives to finely polish the surface and has light colored oils and fillers to nourish the paint and fill minor imperfections without discoloring the white paint. Just my opinion but my car looks much better since I used the #9.
 
From what I have read, as I am not a Zano user yet, is that you must get rid of all swirls and paint blemishes before you start with Zano. From what I have read is that most of the polymer type polishes will make swirls more obvious. If you are after the "deep wet look" then you should be using a good wax, like s100/p21s. You will not be disapointed as they help to fill swirls better. The only problem is that they do not last long.

Its been awhile on that one but I'm pretty sure that is Blackfire and Souveran. White has always been the most difficult color to shine up properly. Blackfire blew me away by how wet and reflective it made the car.



How is this for wet shine in the shade?

Thats the old forumula Platinum. Nice and wet looking in the shade. It may not last as long as Klasse and Zaino but the immediate pay off visuals are worth it IMO. Especially on white.
