So for Fathers day I am going to detail my dads f150 Harley Davidson (black and swirled). The problem is this, he is like a typical car owner, washes it when its dirty, uses car soap, doesnt do the two bucket method, etc. SO when it comes to waxing a vehicle, he just wont take the time to apply polish then wax. So im curious as to what lsp and QD I could buy him to mask the swirls until I can detail his truck again ( once or twice a year).



Before everyone preaches the proper care stuff, I`ve tried teaching him, but he doesnt have the time or the patience for it!:sadwavey:



So what would you guys reccomend:2thumbs:

NXT2.0 has significant concealing ability. Readily available and easy to use.

Zaino Z-5 Pro works pretty well on black vehicles.



Another option is an AIO... something like Zaino Z-AIO which has very light abrasive. Easy on, easy off and no LSP required.

The prima line is supposed to be good at filling and easy to use.



Autobalm is also supposed to be good at filling but I don`t know if its that easy to use

NXT 2.0 Tech Wax is great on black vehicles. BUT, only for protection and gloss. NOT, for hiding swirls, even with a DA. You would have to do the polishing steps to achieve it. GL!

just a quick update, since the Prima line is local to me, i went and got swirl, hydro, banana gloss, and amigo to try on my black vehicles, I was really impressed with the line.



I used to use zaino on my 03 mustang, but when i sold it i started using meguiars polishes with poorboys natty blue.



I was impressed with the cut of swirl and the ability to finish almost lsp with an orange pad on my c5 vette. The amigo was a dream to remove (compared to #7), banana gloss is weird at first but it does an awesome job.



But i was most impressed with hydro! I washed my expedition and used it as a wax as you dry and it made the car shine as if i had spent all day detailing the car. even better was the next day the shine got better. Its a synthetic sealant but has some good depth, all in all i think this is what im getting my dad for fathers day, some hydro and amigo (since its easy to put on by hand and remove)



on edit: here is a picture right after the Hydro
