Man I've missed this whole conversation.

William,

Mike did a great job of explaining the differences between the different detailing sprays they have and the final comment was for the best shine use the Quick Shine Enhancer. We tried some on my car yesterday and it did help a bit. I actually never used detailer in the past. I use a duster and then spray an area with a water mist and wipe it off. Works extremely well on properly maintained surfaces.

Keith,

I have a few suggestions to possibly help your car look better. Keep in mind this is my oppinnion based on my own experience. If your trying to get your car to look it's best in a single coat of wax then definitely give the Meguiars cleaner wax a try. The cleaners should help remove most surface contaminants and it will leave a nice shine. If your willing to put more effort into it use a buffer and Meguiars #9 to remove light swirls and surface contaminants. (If you don't have a buffer give the Scratch X a try)Then use the Gold Class as a final step by hand. Something important that I've learned with waxes is that you really do not want to apply very much to the surface of the paint. The thinnest coat possible will make it much easier to remove and still give excellent results.

Everyone,

Just a side note in regards to the Zaino on my wifes CRV. I only applied it once in 3.5 months and it sits outside under a tree every day. It gets washed maybe once a week usually with a drive through car wash or if I'm lucky at the dealership after an oil change. It's strictly a means of transportation and I would consider it an excellent means of determining wax durability. But as you and others say, I'm a bit obsessed with my MB and I'm looking for a product that brings out the paints unique colors and the GC did a better job of that.
