Hello, I am new here. There seem o be so many products out that I am getting confused. I just bought a mitsubishi evolution 8 and I want to make sure it shines. The car is bright yellow. I was wondering if you could reccomend a lis of prouducts for me. I don`t mind mixing brands if one has a better product than another. I will spend what ever it takes. The paint is in great shape but I can not make it look wet,deep and glossy. I want to get the best finish I can. Thanks in advance

I really enjoy the Ultima Paint Prep Guard. It really brings out the glossiness to the paint. It`s a new product so far it`s been very promising. I`d definitely look into that. I know other members here are very happy with Zaino as well. It`s your judgement there, but do a search and see.

If you want to try Ultima the new sampler package is ready for pre-order:



Ultima Paint Care Sampler Kit (http://www.autopia-carcare.com/ultsamp.html)



That should give you enough to get started; Ultima Paint Guard Plus, Ultima Paint Prep Plus, Ultima Detail Spray Plus, and a single packet sample of Ultima Paint Guard Wash.



If you order that kit you can also order the Ultima Tire & Trim Guard Plus (http://www.autopia-carcare.com/ult-7012-120.html) for $10 off. It will show up as an option after you place the sampler package in the shopping cart.

I highly recommend looking at the `Guide to Detailing` that is on here for all of your basic questions.

`I was thinking about getting the sampler pack, but it\`s hard to belive that it could do as good or better than somthing like the sonus kit that is offered; which is one of the other options I am looking at. I like it becasue it comes with P21S and a few other goodies. Here is a lnk if you are not familiar with this kit. Sonus Perfect Shine Kit (http://www.autopia-carcare.com/son-pershine-kit.html)`

Zaino makes some great products and the sizes are just right for the guy with a few cars.

The ultimate shine starts with a proper machine polishing. Then use a quality sealant or wax of your choice. I know it`s vague, but sometimes you have to experiment until you find what you like. I use zaino now, but have used tons of other products which all produced great results, some had better "looks" than zaino, but lasted only a couple of weeks. Zaino lasts months and the look is just fine in eyes. You may want easy application, durability or good shine. Some products have it all some don`t. But a good polish is the best way to start, then experiment with LSP`s

ultimate for me would be zaino and werkstatt for a sealant



souveran,zymol,svisswax for waxs



All depends on your goals nothing will give you the look without prep so make sure the car is clayed and imperfections are polished out.

cool, thanks man. I am thinking about getting the ultima sampler pack. It`s under 40 bucks so if I don`t like it I am not out a ton of money. I am also thinking about the sonus kit. Oh by the way I have a 900 hp 1G DSM 4G for ever
