Any 3M product from a reputable autobody paint supply store is the bomb! Most shops all use 3M......its expensive but worth the extra price...i swear by it.

Just like the driver mod is imperative in the 1/4 mile.....the person doing the "detailer" mod is the same for making a car shine. The products make a difference, but all the prep work and what/how you use it makes ALL the difference.

Shoot I've seen a guy with a rotary make a car look better in 1hr than I could using my PC in 5hours. Using Meguier Professional series to boot.

But they are also FILLED to the brim with silicone fillers. Bodyshops use them because they make the car look brand new (for 2 weeks.) Once it all strips away, you're back to square one.

Why would you wash it every other day? Washing is a big cause for marring. Stick to once a week or twice at the most.

I stand by my statement that zaino products are the best I've ever used, wax and detail sprays and I've used a lot. from all the meguiars waxes to 3m, turtle wax, butter(not butter like butter on bread so dont say it), Klasse, P21s, Smart wax... Zaino is the best IMO

I used Zaino on my old S4 and was not that impressed by the results.

Don't get me wrong it's better compared to the stuff you can get at your local autoparts store, but not worth all the labor involved for the end results.

Though I did wind up saving my pure 100% cotton Fieldcrest towels for the wax I use now.

I actually gave away my Zaino stuff to my cousin last week.


This is the stuff I use.

I love this car wash: http://p21s.com/products/bis_bcs.html

This polish: http://p21s.com/products/bis_pc.html

And this wax: http://www.onegrand.com/ogpprodblitzwax.html
