I just ordered some Vanilla Moose and Nattys as a topper....any suggestions or tips?

[Nicky Pass]

I`ve always used Zaino.....and I have enought Z2 and Z5 for one more car, so I need to re-supply my detail cabinet. I decided to go with the VM and Nattys as a topper. Now I`ve never used either until now.....is there anything I need to know.....any tips. I know the VM is a glaze, so should it go on by hand, or should I use my PC with a white pad.



After all of the searching around, hopefully this combo will be the best on my white Cobra. I`m so used to Zaino, but this board raves about poorboys, Klasse, Clearkote, so I`m gonna venture out of the box



....here is a pic of the ride

I use the PC and a polish pad for VM. I prefer to do the whole car and then go back and buff it off with a MF. It`s very easy to apply and remove, I think you`ll like it. I`ve used EX-P over VM with very good results, but you`ll have to be the judge of how VM and Natty`s compare to Z.

Scott said that the Natty`s would be better for a white car. I was thinking of going with EX-P as a topper, but if Natty`s would be better on white....then so be it.

In that thread the only products you mentioned using were "Zaino or possibly PS21S or Nattys".



EX-P is a sealer that you could top with a wax such as Natty`s.



You can try the VM and Natty`s, and then later you can try EX-P and a topper such as Natty`s if you like. There`s a whole world of waxes/sealants just waiting for you to try them!

I know....there are sooooooo many, it took me about a month to decide! I think the VM on top of my 10+ coats of Zaino topped with Nattys will be as good as my Cobra can look!

I apply VM using a polishing pad and the PC cranked up to 6. 3-5 moderate speed passes are all that is usually needed for each section. You can apply to the whole car and remove or a section at a time.



Natty`s works best for me applying like S100 or Souveran. Foam hand pad appliction a section at a time and remove.



Assuming your car is properly prepped, Natty`s will look very wet on white.

i`ll also suggest doing two coats of Natty`s. not only will it look good, it`ll give you some nice beading action. you can see a picture of this in this post:

Does Nattys dry right away, or does it haze like other caranuba waxes? I`m gonna start my whole process over....



Wash

Clay Bar

Megs #9

Vanilla Moose

Natty`s x 2

Vanilla Moose has abrasives in it. Guess how many coats of Zaino will be left when you have finished applying VM? You won`t have any left. If you want to top your Zaino just go with the Nattys.

[Nicky Pass]

VM will strip off the Zaino......I don`t think it would......would it?!!!!

[hirosh]

Natty hazes like other caranuba waxes. the process you listed sounds good.



and yeah, VM will probably remove the Zaino.

I thought VM was just a glaze! Oh well, I`m looking forward to trying this combo out.....hopefully it will look wet!
