Best Polish / Wax or Combination?

[lairdness]

What`s the best?

I`ve heard Zaino`s Z5 then Z2...
I`ve heard Klasse All-in-One Polish then Eagle-One Wet Wax...
I`ve heard Collinite...

I`ve Tried Liquid Glass and liked it a lot...

What`s the best way to go...I`d like to hear from people show show cars if possible

Neither Z5 or AIO are polishes. Z5 is a sealant with very mild swirl filling properties. Klasse AIO is a cleaner and sealant.

There are plenty of great combinations you can try that may or may not contain polishes.

Poorboy`s Polish with Carnauba topped by Poorboy`s EX
Clearkote Vanilla Moose (hand glaze) topped by Carnauba Moose Wax
Klasse AIO topped by Klasse Sealant Glaze

These have all produced great results for me on a variety of colors.

The key to the ultimate finish is not the wax or sealant. It is the prep BEFORE applying the stuff. Any top-shelf sealant used over a perfect swirl-free finish is going to kill. If you read through the threads, you`ll get a sense of everyone`s individual favorites. I will say - if you intend to achieve showcar results, you should invest in the PC polishing machine and learn to polish the paint to perfection. Once you can do that, almost any wax/sealant will look superb.

My favorite choice of combo will be s100 SEPC topped with s100 wax. but Prep, prep, and prep is the most important thing.

I use Poorboys Pro Polish topped with his EX and I`ll be switching to EX-P upon the next detail and that will happen when we have some decent weather, on a weekend and when I`m free to commit the time. I`ll be taking a LOT of time to do the polishing, probably go over it 2 or 3 times because I believe that is the part of the process where all the little things get worked out and the finish is brought to it`s highest potential. It takes a PC or a rotary to do this.

Poorboy`s SSR3, Meg`s DACP, Adam`s Revive, Mullet Wax Awesome Polish, Meg`s Show Car Glaze, Poorboy`s EX, Adam`s Butter Wax, topped with P21S.....sounds like a decent detailing regimen to me

I have used Liquid Glass Polish with success for many years but is it safe to use on the 2005 C-6 Corvette? As the DVD Corvettes owners manual says do not use anything containing petroleum distillates which I believe Liquid Glass does contain if one can`t use Liquid Glass Polish on a 2005 Corvette what is the next best product to use that has ease of application and will give the longest lasting protection & shine?

Umm I think that would rule out MOST waxes/sealants out there if you cant use petro. Dist. You would be surprised at what a broad spectrum that really is.

I recently used Klasse AIO and SG on my metallic silver Accord and I have to say that nothing I have used so far can compare to the look of this combo. Easier to use than people have said.

Dalton put some Pinnacle Souveran Paste Wax on top of that combo it is awesome.

Great topic and I agree with most. It comes down to personal preference and experience with products. Most of all, the PC is important. I did my brother s
97 Red Silverado which was badly damaged like this:
1) Hi Temp Medium Cut
2) Hi Temp Light Cut
3) Diamond PLus Paint Sealant
4) TOP OF THE LINE Carnauba
It`s been a month and it still looks wet. Again, most products (top shelf) will do the work IF YOU DO YOUR PART.

In the spring I will. I have to say I was very reluctant (sp) to use Klasse since most people say it is a PITA but I found it to be easy. I did half the car WOWO and the other half letting it dry for 45min and they both came off easy. That was with SG.

I used a blue edge pad with AIO and it worked great. I worked it in and removed with a MF.

2 great products and I feel it will be my new comboi. I will take the plunge to Soveran as a topper in the spring

David Wyllie Sr here, I am very interested in finding out more about what the Corvette manufacturer is recommending to be used for a soap, cleanser, sealant, wax and a detail spray?

:yeah and who`s this DVD? :dunno

Maybe it`s some sort of "protect your own @$$" thing that GM is putting out with their new cars(for an environmental issue). That or maybe a marketing scheme.....we will soon see a GM produced Corvette Car Care Line. Haha. :lol
