Griots Garage Random Orbital Polisher
http://www.griotsgarage.com/product/...dom+orbital.do I apply the wax with a black Lake Country pad and remove it with a microfiber towel. Not the cheap one they included with the kit though. |

I use Zaino on my cars and the CJ-4. The G550 I used to fly was treated with Xylon. It would last a year in the harshest environment. The Xylon doesn't shine like Zaino, but Zaino would be a pain and expensive to do every month on the Gulfstream.

i did an application of Optimum Poli-Seal on my car over the weekend and it's awesome. I used it with a light polishing pad on my Griots polisher and it did wonders. It has a very light abrasive which took out some of the light swirls and also acts as a sealant/wax. It rained this morning and it's beading up quite nice. Even had a bird crap on it (of course, right after i wash it) and it didn't stick to the car at all. Wiped right off with a clean towel and the rain water with zero effort.

I use chemical guys butter wet wax. It's easy to apply and leaves a nice shine. I think it's worth the price, $30/gallon, for what it does. I used it on a friend's black FRS which had a bunch of visable swirls, even at night, and the paint looked like new after hand waxing it.

I use this
![]() ![]() ![]() Of course just about any decent wax and proper care will give you good results.. I just waxed again and have maybe one more application, after that I'm going to try this killerwaxx that's big around here.. Seems to work really good.. Some of the biggest show cars on the scene use the product, figure if they like it enough to maintain their 50-100k paint jobs then it'll work for my factory paint |

Hmmm best wax.... The one I currently use a lot of for a true "wax" pinnacle souvergn from auto geek. Amazing water beading and protection. But I most of the time layer it on top of a good sealant for added protection. Key things to note. ALWAYS CLAY THE CAR before adding wax. Yu don't have to polish but it helps and makes the paint more flawless from scratches and swirls. But decontaminating the paint is a must to get the protection from any last step protection (wax or sealant). And will assist in making the paint more reflective and clear.

we use a lot of products in the shop.
if you want something durable at a great price. pick up Sonax Polymer Net Shield - its been on my car for 5 months now. use Sonax Brilliant Shine Detailer to maintain after each wash. if you want to try a pure show wax for looks I would say pick up Auto Finesse Illusion Show Car Wax |
