The Lotus looks amazing.

Relax dude, what is it with you and your continued passive aggressive attacks on my posts? . I just like the product. I love Zaino as well, and I also use it, but now I use Ultima more because IMO, it is a lot easier to apply and gives great results. In addition, to say that I mention the product "on every thread" is an exaggeration. Out of 86 posts, I have recommended Ultima in may be 3 or 4 posts (maybe you can go through every single one and get the exact number). There are certainly other people here who have recommended and/or praised Ultima a lot more than I have, but you seem to be taking my posts very personal. Just take it easy and keep enjoying this forum. I have seen the pics of your work on this forum and you obviously know what you are doing as the results are amazing and I have been very impressed, but for those of us who are just enthusiasts, let us just give our opinions and recommendations and engage in civil discussions about products and techniques and let us enjoy this forum.

I can't think of another car that color would look good on.

On the Lotus it works.

Nice work.

Hey guys!

This is not a personal attack forum.

I like the Ultima stuff too. I push it when I can because I like to see others have the same great experience I have had with Ultima. However I gotta say there are plenty of great Ultima competitors out there. Some may well be better. I think it probably depends on lots of variables. Paint, color, temperature, humidity, persinal tastes, etc. Zaino is another amazing product. Hard to have anything much negative to say about their products either.

Just have fun in here and help out where you can. No reason to point fingers or defend a position in a negative fashion. If somebody is annoying you, send them a VERY carefully thought out and polite PM and keep that silly stuff outta the threads.

Thank you KnuckleBuckett, I completely agree with you. Happy detailing!

Hello everyone. I was able to see this Elise yesterday after a rain shower and I decided to take pictures of the beading, which still seemed very strong. Keep in mind that the car was detailed during Christmas, and nothing else was put on the car. The car wash soap used wasn't even Zaino. I am thoroughly impressed with the overall package for overall durability. The paint wasn't that slick though (it was a bit dirty too), but at least after a quick drive the car looked completely dry. I look foward to trying these other products mentioned as well. Please enjoy the pictures.

Very nice work! Only eight layers though? You need at least fifteen!!!

I don't care what they were paying me, I wouldn't have the patience to do 5 coats.
