does it buff off pretty good or does it leave residue and a bitch to get off?

[Bad-S]

comes off real smooth.

[TnHombre]

i say 476s made by collinite trust me you WILL be happy with it.....or ill buy it back from you!

[96 Sonoma]

Zaino or Astro Sheild, just my .02

[dropped1]

Zaino, Klasse, etc.

Screw eagle 1 nano crap. Its got a lot of fillers, and it has shit for durability.

[herlo]

i have been using liquid glass 4 the past 6 years and i love it

[StripedX10]

i like the meguires gold class but it takes some buffing to get off

[Scott01]

Best stuff I ever used.Especially when I had my black truck.

Zaino

Nice thing is you can apply it and work on something else in cure cycles (i'm in a cooler climate). wipes away very easily, no heavy residue. Takes far less effort than anything else I've tried, yet it had a deeper finish and that "slick" feel you want. just make sure whatever you use, you clay bar first. good wax/sealer won't hide rough contaminated paint.

Four Star UPP

[bitchin sonoma]

How good is four star upp

[bitchin sonoma]

I tried eagles nano wax and really good, but need one that could really make my truck shine.

[StripedX10]

do you clay the truck and use a cleaner and polish that helps bring the shine more then wax

I would agree. It doesnt get much slicker than UPP. But other options are FK1 2180 and Menzerna FMJ. They are sealants and will last longer than most waxes. If you are looking straight for a wax, I thinks Liquid Souveran is the slickest of the waxes and looks great on dark cars.

But you have to remember that the prep stage is more important.

Clearkote brand. vanilla mosse hand glaze, and carnauba moose wax.

[monkeymouse]

I love mcquwires (sp?) gold clay wax, I forget the exact name of it. A little bit hard to buff out but worth it I think, I love it looks great!

[dropped1]

Thats after trying out Zaino's polish, then 3 Layers Z2pro...topped with Z8


Full Detail, LSP (last step product)- Poorboys Nattys Blue Caranuba
Its all a matter of personal opinion...zaino is the popular answer because of the "hype" on car forums. But visit a detailers forum like autopia.org for some differing opinions.

Ive used almost every major wax out there. By far the Dupont Teflon wax is the best. The spray wax sucks, but the liquid is the sh**. Apply by hand, and buff out to a deep glossy shine. I use it on my black dime, and its awesome. Alot of my customers also say it keeps their car cleaner longer with the teflon in it. Dirt cant stick, they also carry a line of wheel polish/cleaner. They work wonders as well. Hows that for a plug? lol

The Truth About Teflon™
by Stephen Grisanti

According to G.R. Ansul of Du Pont's car care products, speciality products division -

"The addition of a Teflon™ fluoropolymer resin does nothing to enhance the properties of a car wax."

"We have no data that indicates the use of Teflon™ fluoropolymer resin is beneficial in car waxes, and we have not seen data from other people that supports this position."

Ansul also notes that, "Unless Teflon™ is applied at 700 degrees F, it is not a viable ingredient, and it is 100 percent useless in protecting the paint's finish."

I dont know about you guys, but I like the new turtle wax platinum wax the best so far...

[bad03xtreme]

If you want a great reflective long lasting wax use Meguiers #26 yellow Carnuba Wax. I have a black truck and when im done with it its dripping!! Rule of thumb is if you can buy it at a regular parts store (Avanced, Auto Zone, Pep Boys etc.) it ain't worth a shit.

[bad03xtreme]

Heres a pic with a layer of #26 after Poorboys SSR.

[AdamZX3]

wow that looks good man, was that wetsanded and buffed too? I don't see any orange peel (thats the real trick to the shiny wet look)

He said he used Poorboys SSR's which is a line of swirl removers, to be used with a buffer/polisher.

Nothing beats the depth of a caranuba, but most synthetic sealants last longer and have better reflectivity. I personally use both, depending on who's vehicle it is etc.

[redwhiteandblue]

eagle one wet polish
mother's claybar
daily detail spray
nice, very smooth feel. lasts a while as well.
besides my shitty factory orange peel i think it looks clean

Four Star UPP does leave a very slick fnish, but there are plenty of other great products too. Who gives a chit about how smooth the paint is after waxing, I'd be more concerned about durability and how the paint looks after a final inspection. I'm a HUGE fan of Autopride Longevity sealant, IMHO it leaes an unbeatable shine on any color, even on darker colors. It's extremely easy to apply and just as easy to remove. Here's a 4-runner I regularly clean up after just one coat



Pretty damn wet for a synthetic if you ask me

And a so-so shot of my dads new 06 HD


I topped the truck off with a third coat of Longevity and a coat of #26, and I even spent 30 min polishing the stock tailpipe to look like a stainless tip, you should see it now

Forget about slickness, find a wax that gives you the look you want, then you've got a good product

It's made by Autopride, the guys based out of CO or something like that, the new formula just came in, so I don't even have access to it yet, what I have is a sample bottle. You can find the old formula on www.flynndist.com. I get all my products locally through P&S, so it's badged under P&S's name out here. I'm suprised you're even interested in it after you knocked my method of interior cleaning

[TnHombre]

thanks for the info...im always up to try a new product.
P&S makes some great products!



no pun indended

No wetsanding. I use Poorboys SSR 2.5 and then a sealent before the wax and the the #26 Carnuba for that deep wet look. Its alot of work but its worth the look in the end!!
