I`ve been reading on here and asking some questions about using carnauba as a topper. My car( black Grand national) is mainly a show car and sunday driver, always garaged and under cover. I currently have Zaino on it. I like the high gloss look and slick surface. But through my readings and research on here I`ve been seeing alot of using Carnauba over an acrylic system (Klasse) or like polishes. I`m looking for the wetest,deepest, most "passionate` appearence. A real looker and show winner!!

I assume that its all in ones opinion and perception of what looks best. Some of you guys have alot of experience with different approaches and techniques and I`m looking for a majority consensus of which way to go. I`m not too concerned about durability because the car isn`t out too much. Applying product more often woudn`t bother me as I enjoy working on my car anyhow.



Thanks for any input

Maybe start a poll and let people vote on various options/combos?



When you click on "new thread" the polling option is at the bottom and the post goes to the poll forum and is displayed on the main page.

My feeling is why not try?



To me applying a paste wax to a car by hand is a labor of love that just can`t be duplicated with complicated systems like Zaino or liquid sealants applied by PC. Those things have their place, but not much is as enjoyable as just applying a paste wax. My bet is you`ll enjoy the process and the result.

to me this is simple......In the warmer days when I can wash and wax weekly I will use carnuba,in the dead of winter when you cant (or most people can`t wax) using a polymer or sealent is better for then and longer lasting
