Just wondering what you guys use on your cars for a pre-coat protectant and a wax? I'm thinking of going meguiars pre-coat/gold clear wax and because my car is black taking some scratchX to it aswell

 

My car is also black and I'm wondering the same thing.

 

yeah and im even wondering if i need to use scratchx. i know thats for deep scratchs like keys/stones and after touch up paint. etc.. but if its light scratchs doesnt wax fill that up?

 

I think I'm going with the Zaino Kit ... it's alil pricey($90), but it is supposedly the best wax for Dark Colors. Check em' out at Zainobros.com!!

My car is Black as well, and it is just my car, or does the stock paint job look like someone rubbed low grit sandpaper all over it?? I can't stand looking at the finish on my car anymore ... need to order the Zaino Kit ASAP!!

 

another good site is www.bettercarcare.com they have a lot of good tech stuff on there.

 

well just if anyone is interested on this topic, i used the meguiars deepcrystal polish then gold class wax after i washed the car and it looks wicked

 

which wax stayed the longest through the weather?

 

I was using the Meguiars deep crystal wax on my black RA, and I had quite a bit of swirls. I ordered the Zaino stuff and I'll tell you it's definately worth the money, it's waay better than the meguiars I was using, and it's supposed to last 6 months. You can also apply multiple coats, which you cant do with meguiars.

 

Why cant you apply a second coat? why would you want to apply a second coat? if you did it right the first time it should be fine (just got home frome bar. beer is good)
