Need Advice re; Wet-Look Polishing

**loksch** · 10-12-2009, 04:52 PM

What, in your opinions, is the best "wetlook" polish and the easiest to apply ? My car is a 2000 Audi with metallic paint.

Thanks for all.

"Search"

Sorry to be the bearer of bad news. It also sounds as if you might be really looking for what we call an "LSP" due to your use of the word "apply", unless you are working by hand.

Some people love it, some people hate it, but I would definitely recommend the Zaino line of products, given your criteria. It definitely produces a deep, wet (almost "plastic wrapped") look and is also very easy to apply and take off. I put three coats on my car today.

Should you choose to look further, I would recommend Zfx and Z5 and some sort of clay bar as a first step.

Good luck!

Gary

UPPP + 3 layers of UPGP it works for me

I agree.

That said, be sure to polish your finish down to the nines first. Jewel it if you have time.

Then a coat or two of DWG finished off by 3 to 5 coats of UPGP.

IMPORTANT

Let each coat come to FULL 12 hour cure before applying the next coat.

I would also recommend Zaino, for the same reasons. My 2005 Montego is a dark red metallic and "wet" best describes the look 3 coats of Zaino Z2 Pro gives it.

I`ve seen pictures of DWG+UPGP pic but i`m not getting the same result on my car :think:

I guess it could be me

As craigdt stated, it does seem like you`re looking for a "wax" or "glaze" type of product. You could try Meguiar`s M7, Chemical Guys E-Z Creme or ClearKote RMG. After glazing, get your favorite wax or sealant and seal the paint up.

Although glazes and waxes are great for adding more substance to the paint, nothing will look better than perfectly leveled, jeweled paint. GL
