    Sorry for the long post



    Ok, I made another post yesterday but it wouldnt let me post a pic so im trying again. Let me say im not a serious car detailer, Ive been happy with over the counter products on my personal vehicle and im simply looking to get a little more "glow" and "depth" out of my paint. The car has yellow mettallics in it that look great at night under a gas station or parking lot light by giving the paint a "lemon pearl" look, but during they day they dont show that much. Im looking to bring out those metallics during the day. I do not own a machine or have experience with one so I will be applying / removing any product by hand. The car is only 1 month old so Im not in need of swirl removers or anything like that



    Here is a picture of the car/color im trying to "bring more to life"







    Im not looking for a super complicated process that involves 8 different bottles of stuff so please tell me if any of the (4) following combos would work good for what im looking to do



    1) Good wash, followed by Klassee all-in-one, followed by Klassee glaze sealant, followed by sonus acrylic glanz detail spray



    2) Good wash, followed by Adams butterwax, followed by Adams spray galze, followed by Adams spray detailer



    3) Good wash, followed by Duragloss 601, followed by Duragloss 105, followed by Duragloss AW spray



    4) Good wash, followed by Zaino Z-2 Pro, followed by Zaino Z-8 detail spray



    OR any other simple combo you have suggestions on?



    THIS is the look I want to achieve, the "glow" it has is far different from my car but its the exact color









    Thanks so much in advance, especially if you read all this!

    I have personally used methods 1, 2 and 4. They all work just fine and will give you a great shine.



    Klasse SG can be tough for new users. Also on the Klasse and Zaino systems, you would be hard pressed to stop at one coat. That little voice will keep telling you to apply another coat.



    Good Luck

    Zaino is pretty much the standard by which every other product is measured.

    I`d go with Zaino or Duragloss.



    Both are first rate product lines. I`d give a slight edge to Zaino in appearance but the Duragloss is a good bit cheaper and is available OTC if that makes a difference to you.

    The Adam`s Spray Glaze is a solid product. The Butter wax will give you a great wet look, but for only about 2 weeks. Durability is not it`s strength. As for the KSG, there are other more user friendly acrylic based sealants out there. Chemical guy`s makes some solid acrylics. (M-Seal and Factory Sealant) But for me, JW Acrylic Jett stands alone at the top of the acrylic chart. It`s a tremendous all around performer in terms of appearance, ease of use and durability. Super easy to apply and remove. As for Zaino.........Bullet proof and user friendly. Zaino has been the benchmark for longevity/durability for many years. They continue to upgrade their product lines with some interesting and exciting products. (ZFX,ZPC,ZAIO,Z8,ZCS,Z2Pro/Z5Pro to name a few recent product line additions) I find their UV protection to be unmatched in the industry. (West Texas bruttle and ridiculously scorching/baking sun where I live) As for Duragloss..........Teriffic product line at a great price/value. The AW has knocked my sox off. Get your wallet ready..........lol
