Detailing for Indoor Car Show

Hi Guys

Im new to this board.
so much good information here
so confusing after reading and reading.

Im getting ready for Hot Import Nights
Indoor Car Show at Night.

I was wondering what the best products to use to get that deep deep wet look.

Also need other products as far as window cleaner and such

any comments/suggestions would be greatly appreciated

Here are pictures of my car recently detailed.
they used some wax that smells like grapes. No idea who makes it or if its any good.. sure does smell good

Pictures of my Car

thanks

Erick G

Thumbs up Nice car....

Welcome to the forum.

For a deep, wet look on that light color, your best bet is Zaino Show Car Polish Products.

They do just what the name implies-make it a show car!! No wax comes more recommended on light metallic cars.

I personally use it not only for its gloss and reflectivity, but for its ultimate UV protection, water beading, and ease of use/removal.

You can layer as much as you want, since it's a non-abrasive. I have 8 coats right now, and looks better and deeper than anything else I have ever used. I know you'll be happy, also.


Go to www.zainobros.com for pics and all the info you need!

I just put in my summer order!!!

Hope this helps!

Zaino...
You're making the right choice!

As for...

Window cleaner=Stoner's Invisible Glass(about $3/can and can be bought online somewhere!)

Tire Dressing=I personally like Eagle One WET Tire Gel, but I've heard great things about Zaino Z-16 Dressing, also.

Good luck!!

Oh, I forgot...


Zaino can be purchased online at
www.ecklers.com


To start(and this will last you a year), you will need:

-Z1 Pre-cleaner and gloss enhancer
-Z2 Show Car Polish For Clear Coat
-Z6 Ultra Clean Gloss Enhancer Spray
-Z7 Show Car Wash

P.S. Be sure to follow the directions and read the info on the Zaino website!!

Hope this helps!

I can't believe that nobody suggested Klasse or Blackfire or even Souveran. If you want the wet look then you have tons of options. If this is for a show then I would suggest Blackfire. It is much wetter looking than Zaino after application from what I've seen. Klasse is great too. Blackfire is the same as Klasse with a Souveran topper. However you want to do it. I would still say go with some Blackfire if it is going to be for show. Zaino will give you some good durablity and protection but if its looks you are going for then Blackfire goes a long way. It is only availible at CMA A close second would be Platinum. That is also availible online at 4 Star and its supposed to be similar to BF. Very wet looking.

Erick,

I did a Hot Import Daze Show last year in York, Pa. They are pretty competative but your car looks great. I have been using Pinnacle Souveran on my show car for a while now and I love it. Good luck at the show !!!! I have also used Klasse on my daily driver. Give both a try you will love them.
