Haha :D I hear you on the "gotta try it" part Accumulator. I`ve been toying around with the idea of trying it out on my black Trans Am for the last little while. The car comes out in two or so weeks out of storage and it might get a treat after all.
How is this stuff work anyways, in your opinion? I don`t mind applying a coat once a week or every two weeks as long as it has no ILL effects.
Souveran is pretty much Accumulator-proof, just don`t put it on thick. I even let it set up/fully dry before I buff it off, which helps make it a *little* more durable. So much for the conventional wisdom that you gotta buff it right off before it dries ;)
Heh heh, most of my black cars were Trans Ams too :D Eh, I`d go for the Souveran.

When someone says "head turner" I associate this with mass market appeal. I suspect many appreciate that sealant look since it is different.

I know it`s not up to the tastes of some of the "elitists" on this forum, but NXT 2.0 and M26 are a fantastic combo, in my opinion.

There`s probably another 40 pics of cars I could put on here to get my point across.

I dont know about that. Based on the things i`ve read, zaino products should not be mixed with other waxes/sealents. Again, just what I read.
Before I did so, I read many opinions on DW that such combination is ok. I tried topping Z8 on Colli 476s and Dodo Juice Purple Haze, both time it turned out great.

Prep via polishing. I always try to show the client (when I`m on location) how the car looks before I apply a LSP. Funny thing is after applying zaino, no client has ever stated that looks worse now or I`d rather have a wax that lasts 4-6 weeks.
Z8 can be used over anything that is cured.

77`s are awesome and are becoming sought after more and more!

Strictly going by LSPs, Carnauba Moose on dark solid colors and either (or both) Optimum Opti-Seal or Optimum Car Wax.

To each his own... Generally I hate Mustangs but this one is one sweet ride that I would be proud to own.
Funny how the way the doors open make it a pos...
