Hi

Many thanks for the previous help on this topic.

I have been using the groups help (and my existing products) and have got quite a nice finish



Clayed and then washed with Megs
Used my top new microfibre chamois - why have i been rubbing my cars with dead cows for all these years. this has to be one of the best products i have brought for donkeys.
Applied Prima a*** glaze - didnt really see much with this product but covered car in it none the less.
Then applied my Z5 and Z2 (i cant remember the bottle letters without going into garage and its to cold now)
and finally finished off with the Collinite wax. This seems very good and car stills shines up really well with a simple wax and dry....

Much like my wife - i want more! How can i make it go even deeper.

Should i go back to the drawing board and start again with some different upper layers?

Any help appreciated.

 

If you want deeper, then look at Clearkote Carnauba Moose Wax as a finisher..... You could go back and change the glaze but, there isn't a huge difference in looks between this and something like Clearkote Red Moose Glaze looks wise but, the Amigo is fine for use before your Zaino products, whereas the Clearkote glazes might give bonding issues if you want to carry on using them. (the oils in them stop polymer sealants bonding properly.......Doesn't make a world of difference but youll lose some durability).

Sealants will generally speaking will finish brighter and more reflective looking than most waxes, and Zaino products are very wet and give a high shine.... Going down the glaze and carnauba route won't give you such durability but, will give you a generally deeper, glossier finish. You could try the Carnauba Moose over everything you have already on the car, and see if it makes a difference to you, then as the weather improves and durability isn't such a factor, if you want to, you can go for a more oily based glaze to help the wax give the really deep, glossy shine.

Hope that helps .

 

A proper Machine polish with a PC would realy help You need to remove all the swirls and micromarring that Youve probably inficted with the dead cow leather ! A full treatment IE full Clay machine polish machine glaze and a good quality wax will make A HUGE DIFFERENCE especialy to a coulor like estoril; blue !!

 

I would love to go down the PC route, but i dont have the time and wouldnt want to pay someone to do it.

I like the idea of the clearkote.

Can this product go underneath my Collinte wax?

Or can i simply apply it straight on top of my existing layers and the Collinte wax?

Starting to get confused with al these products.

(thanks for the reply on the rubber thread as well)

So this clearkote can nourish rubber as well?

Thanks again.

 

As Alex said, the ClearKote CMW is what you need

The Carnauba Moose Wax is used as a last step product, so similar to the Collinite that it is the finishing wax, and yes, it can go either on top of the Collinite or vise versa without any compatability problems, and just depending what wax you want to finish with at that time.

The Clearkote Vanilla Moose is a bit of an all in one type of product, that it can be used on window rubbers, trim , paint andpretty much everything really. If I use it on the paint, I'll often give the door rubbers a quick wipe with it, then just wipe any excess off to keep things 'nourished' as you say.

Cheers .

 

Sounds ideal.

I think i will be paying another visit to your site shortly.

btw, are you able to get hold of the Zaino activator as i found that all mine had dried up last i went to use it?

Thanks again.
