Hi-
I think I`ve been away from this forum for almost 2 years and am back looking for some product insight. What I was looking for is a quick 30 sec. response to this question. Let`s say you own NO detailing products what would you buy and use on a new black Outback? Just give me the product name and maybe a quick line or two as to why you think this product would be the one I should consider.
Guidelines: just give me the "paint protection" product, I think I can search my way thru to how to prep the paint before the "wax" application. (Also I have used and still have these products: Blitz, Souveran, Klasse AIO/SG and Zaino). Been gone a couple of years from the detailing world and just wanted your 30 sec response. What`s new out there and worth a try?
Thanks.

Since you have Klasse and Zaino that I recently tried and liked it alot, may be Poorboy EX / EX-P.

TOL has a new black wax called Black Velvet and I really like it. Hi-Temp has a gloss enhancer called Midnight Express that I`ve used before applying the Black Velvet Wax and the results have been stunning on my black Dodge Dakota.

You have the Klasse twins. If you don`t like using them, keep practicing until you do because Klasse should be one of the easiest and most durable products you could hope for. I used it the first time this weekend in about 6 months and was reminded of how incredibly fast the entire process is (WOWO).
If you like the carnauba experience, stay with AIO and top with Trade Secret from TOL, Natty`s, or P21S/S100. I`d recommend #16, but I hear Taps playing in the distance:(

I am a slow typist and therefore I am not sure I can make a recommendation in less than 30 sec
Menzerna FMJ - a fairly durable sealant that has a definite carnauba look to it. Prep the surface with the newer Menzerna polishes.

Its all in the prep, top it with quality stuff and it will look exceptional.

You got all quality LSP already, Focus on prep and any one of the products in your inventory will protect that prep time investment.
Also, Zaino has up-graded the Z2 formula twice in the last few years. The newest version, Z2-PRO is just plain great IMHO.

Stick with Souveran, Klasse AIO/SG and Zaino!! They are still the best! Check out the new Zaino Z2 Pro and soon to be released Z8 sealant.
As for sealant protection on black: Menzerna IP (if needed), FP II, FTG, FMJ. The FTG darkens the paint and makes the sealant, FMJ, look very deep and glossy.
