Preparation work is more important than the LSP. If your car is not properly polished, then you won't get the look you are looking for. That being said, I really like Ultima Paint Guard Plus with Danase Wet Glaze. This combo really makes metallic silvers pop like crazy and will leave a very glossy and super wet look.

You really dont need to make two threads about the same thing. As I said in your other thread, and as dsms and detaildoc are saying here, preparation is more important then your LSP. You should be focusing on that first.

If we were to outline everything you need to get, proper technique, etc., etc., it would be several hundred pages. You have to research this stuff, its just way too much to explain.
Prepping the paint is removing debris, polishing out imperfections, etc. The paint should be free of imperfections prior to applying the LSP. None of us can recommend anything to you without seeing the car. All you need is a wax, it really isnt necessary to be topping the paint with several different things. Especially if it isnt your DD and its going to be garaged.

Start reading this: A Guide to Dual Action Polishing Also search youtube for video's on things like polishing, claying, washing techniques etc.. Hell maybe pick up CleanDean's dvd. Search this forum and search others like Autopia for all the info you can obtain. There is no substitute for knowledge. Last edited by Gemini13; 06-09-2008 at 06:53 PM.

clay car wash car dry get a flex3041 or buffer of choice menzerna super intensive polish polish with a orange pad buff off with micorfiber menzerna final polish with blue pad buff off with micorfiber z2 pro with zfx or your favorite sealant buff off with micorfiber z2 pro with zfx or your favorite sealant buff off with micorfiber apply your favorite carnauba honestly, this is your dream car right? I would think you will be maintaining it pretty well. So, I would just get a nice wax or sealant and apply it every month or so.
