your wax will look better after claying. i don't think claying itself make the car look better.

Bull Fvcking Sh!t. That stuff isn't worth crap. It costs more than regular cleaners/waxes and it requires 5 times the effort but looks no better than a professionally detailed car.

It isnt about looks. But in fact it does look better than any wax I have seen. Its about PROTECTING

Im not saying it LOOKS BETTER THAN WAX, just that it is BETTER than wax.

In my experience Zaino lasts much longer than the competition (6 months easy.) That's why I use it.

Where did you buy the clay bar? I'm thinking of picking one up.

I've seen cars that guys have spent 7 hours applying this stuff to their cars and they don't look any better than my cars after a detail. I use Meguiars paint cleaner (if needed), or clay (I've used it a few times and like the fact that it doesn't remove small amounts of clearcoat), Meguiars professional glaze and follow up with Meguiars yellow wax. I can do all that in a couple hours max and it gives a showroom finish. I wax a couple times a year and do the complete detail maybe once a year.

50th layer...You'd have to have rocks in your head to apply that stuff 50 times...:roll:

What's he going to do when he gets a rock chip? Go have the entire car repainted? :laugh:

 

[pac1085]

They either didnt do it right, or the paint on the car just really sucks it, because if its a crappy paint job, wax can only do so much to help it.

Clay anyone?

We had the best clay as far as consistency, particle size, etc. bar none. It was used in a low flow contactor system to harbor anerobic bacteria to reduce nitrate nitrogen content of a closed system that was home to captive sharks. The NNR reef tank guys (plenum) were jealous as hell until they saw how much that stuff cost.

Anyways, the stuff was like liquid silk.

how much was it?

 

[BadNewsBears]

Jules, ive never used the stuff, sh!t on two of my cars I have rattle can paint jobs!!!!!! Rust oleum biotch. If I was a street rodder and never drove my car, (boyd coddington and crew) Id use it in a heartbeat, I do agree 50 layers is crazy.

The two nicest finishes here are an 05 buick rainer which i used meguir's polish then carnuaba wax. The other is a 75 scout which I just had painted flat black with 5 coats of flat finish master clear coat. Its hot .

How well does it work on auto body paint?

 

[sharkeeper]

I believe it cost $800 per liter. May have been more but the bill for the amount we needed was pretty tall. Damn was I pissing money into that project! I have no regrets as what I learned is worth much more IMO.

But his car... it's so shiny. Some people obsess over their cars. I don't blame them.

The shinier that car gets... the bigger magnet it is for people to key it. :frown:
