What to use on light colors other than Zaino?

[Desert Rat]

I have been using Zaino for the last 7 years and have been happy with the results. However, I figure it never hurts to check around to see if there are better products. All 3 of my vehicles are light in color, so while they do not show imperfections like darker colors, they also do not show depth like darker colors. Is there anything durable I should try that gives equal or better results than Zaino?



Vehicles: 2002 Honda S2000 (Sebring Silver)

1999 Lexus LS400 (Pearl White)

1994 Jeep Grand Cherokee (White)



Thanks in advance.

Opti-Seal would be my choice.

I'd also recommend FK 1000P

Optiseal.......

Collinite or Duragloss but IME both are less durable than Zaino.

Werkstat, Klasse, Optiseal, and Duragloss all work fine. Werkstat's my favorite.

JW Acrylic Trigger, optiseal, klasse twins

One other fantastic product for metallics is 1Z Glanz Wax: you'll be amazed at its gloss and how wet it looks. IME it lasts as about as long as Zaino (which I also love), but I think it looks better on light colors!

I've got a nearly full can of Glanz Wax, really nice product but too hard to carry eleventy billion LSPs with me. Might have to bust it out next time I have a light colored metallic car to detail since it does look really good.

I've had good luck with image10finish.com stumbled on it a couple years ago.

The first coat is about on par with most good waxes the second coat is right up there with the best that I've used and 3 or more coats and I haven't found anything that does better. I've used klasse, zaino, pinnacle, poorboys, griots to name just a few of the other products.

I know you used to like it - why did you stop using it, I wonder?:think:

Collinite and Duragloss less durable than Zaino? I guess many factors play the part.

Duragloss 105!!!!!!!

Can't carry eleventy billion LSPs with me everywhere.

Fair Enough!

OptiSeal

P21S

3M Performance Finish or





Stick with Z2 Pro

 

[imported_sal3291]

FK 1000p, Optiseal and DG 105

 

[OCKlasse]

I'd also recommend FK 1000P

1000P looks great on light colors! Coupled with DWG makes for an impressive combination!

With the $$$ savings using DG105 over Z2 I don't think you can beat 105 durability.
