Hi all!
I`ve lurked here a bit in the past, but I didn`t think to post this question here before posting it at www.bullittclub.com . However, if anyone will know the answer, it will be you folks. I had never used a detailing spray prior to yesterday, and I wasn`t sure what to expect. Even though I was overall happy with the results, the application was somewhat different than I expected. Any input you have would be appreciated! I`m particularly curious how different my experience would have been if I had used the Zaino detailing spray, since I have a Zaino`d car...
Thanks!
Joe
Question to follow:
Has anyone used (on a car polished with Z.1/Z.2) detailing spray other than Zaino? Even if not, I`d like to hear how the Zaino detailing spray goes on compared to the stuff I`ve got.
I have "Slick Stuff" made by "The Wax Shop", and while it was the first time I`ve ever used a detailing spray, it was not as easy and simple as I expected. It does not contain silicone, and I THINK it is also wax free. However, it may not be, and that may be the problem. I know that Zaino is rumored not to do well with wax based products.
For one thing, the directions say that if it is difficult to take off, you need to wax. I just used Z.2 yesterday (2nd coat in about 2 months), and so I don`t think I need to wax. However, it was about 50% as labor intensive as buffing off the Z.2 is. Normal?
It also says it won`t streak. The streaking issue was... strange. From an oblique <strong class=`bbc`>did I leave wax on the car[/b] angle, it was easy buff it to where I saw no streaks. But from a more direct <strong class=`bbc`>pretend I am going to use my reflection in the paint to shave[/b] angle, it wasn`t so easy. It took a LOT of buffing to get it streak free from both angles.
All this said, I think the shine IS better than just Zaino. It`s also so smooth that I had a hard time not sliding the cover off the other side of the car as I was putting it on. But the application was more laborious than I expected. I needed to switch both applicator cloth and buffer cloth OFTEN (5 times/4 times respectively), and while I liked the results, I don`t know for sure if I think this was worth the effort.
