coupe07

u wan those use good quality polish type
go for autoglym, cazcomp (using zaino) or this place in bukit batok(using klasse)

u wan DIY (i prefer this method)
- hi glaze 88
- zaino (i noe quite a no. of bros stand by this)
- klasse (superb effect on a black car)
- autoglym resin polish plus extra gloss protection

If you have the time and perseverence, always DIY, you'll get a much better appreciation of yer car for the job well done

try zaino... after the stupid car wash at mm, it left a lot of swirl marks. But voila...all gone after zaino...and i didn't even use z5(to get rid of swirl marks)...just the normal z2. Imagine what z5 can do...

The workshop I go to does a great job at polishing.
The shine really stays even after 2-3 months. In fact with my prev car, I want them to polish for me every 3 months, they also tell me dont need, and to come every 6 mths.

But seriously, after their polish, normal car wash can already. Give me a PM if you like to know where. Plus point is their service is great too!

hal,wonder where it is tat receive such gd appraisal from u.

LsBlack

whats the diff between zaino & 3mendouz shine (anyone tried?)

Matrix11

Hi LsBlack,

Another plus point is the boss is a babe too .... hehe.

3mendouz shine is those once a year type of polish, like glare and tough seal........... claim to protect ur car paint better than our normal wax n polish...... then regualr wash juz use only water or use their brand of shampoo.

zaino on the other hand is those "high class" polish and sealant which can increase ur shine..... but take note it is not those once a year type hor.....

to summarise, wan the shine, must work hard........ :D :D esp black cars...... look at bro naughty boy car that day.... his shine dat nite can put all the showroom cars to shame!!

darkelfin

hi matrix11, wot wax does yours use btw? and also roughly wat's the damage like? i know most ppl would say want good cannot save on costs but i'm looking for more of a average price, average quality wan.

anyone can advise on which workshop is not so pricey, cazcomp, glare, etc? afraid of the great quality but it'll cost u $XXXXXXX type. hee.... :p

Hi Darkelfin,

I am not too savy about wat type of polish and stuff. But I had a previous experience which was a package with one of those at some car parks and a branch at Shell Ser Gdns.

That one every month must do one time cos with every wash or in hot sun, the stuff just melts away. This package was $300 for 10 (walk in) - 12 (referred) times.

The current one by my workshop is not the same, cos rain or shine the shine still stays. You can tell cos even after 2 months, you can still feel the smoothness. Not siap siap. So on average, I go once every 6 months. Each time about $100. All in all I save $100.

And about service, they will pick up my car and return it to me at my workplace. so totally hassle free. But you must trust their guys to drive your beloved car lah....

darkelfin

Hi guys, I'm the DIY guy when comes to polishing and waxing the car, m using NXT wax, fairly easy to apply and get off. I used to use Autoglym Polish, but finds it too abbresive, anyone have got a good Polish to recommend? If i remember correctly, Zaino is a Polish and not a Wax rite?

cheers

coupe07

i'm oso a DIY guy..... i nvr trust grooming centre to caress my baby..........

i'm using HI GLAZE 88 now. One pdt, many ways of using........ can mix in water to use as shampoo. Can mix with a little bit of water to wipe ur car or as detailer, can use as sealant/polish to shine ur car. One of the more value for money pdt that i have used as compared to many other brands.

Meguairs pdts are very good as well. The shine is not bad.

So far, ZAINO and KLASSE shine are out of this world........ simply superb!!! are very pricey.... juz the polish and sealant alone will cost $70 and above liao.....

i'm actually trying out a US product now as well, which was claimed to be used in all cars exhibition in USA..... the shine shown in pic to me was no horse run, even better than all brands mentioned here.... but then pictures lah so i quite receptive..... claim to have no abrasive compound as well.....

i will test on my baby and update u guys. Standby!! meanwhile u guys may wan to check out hi glaze 88.

Rite M-ster. Some waxes are really good, but of course we don't get the harsh weather conditions like in other countries (winter road salt, etc.), so many of us on the board only use Zaino polish, and it's superb. It does require a fair bit of effort since the best treatment is to apply three apps in one session, but once it's done, it lasts for up to six months

Genesis

I'm with you on that quote coupe! Btw, for anybody that bought their ride from MM, never let them wash your 8 after servicing....MM wash/dry technique will put fine scratch lines on the clear coat! I made the mistake first servicing trip and had to use a Z5/ZFX treatment to conceal.

LsBlack

thanks for yr advice, ve heard from u guys from page 3 abt Zaino.
really envy u guys mass waxing.
mine starts showing fine/mid/bold scratch lines. Though tedious, but think no chioce lor, must get some sunburut laio.

coupe07

so far my wash n was n seal is done all alone leh.... have not joined any waxing session yet......

Renesis888

Thanks guys think i'll be bringing the car for zaino session this week....bo pian given my schedule very hard to find time to spend whole day polishing and waxing the car.....especially doing 3 layers altogether....

LsBlack

hey,when r u going, can meet u there? wanna go c c look look how they do it. :D

coupe07

if u happen to go to cazcomp at simon rd, u wan wish to call me. I stay ard that area only... cheers!!

Guys,

I swear by Zaino. Works really great if u need to fill up those swirl marks (Z5 wif ZFX). I was talking to those workers at Cazcomp, they swear a layer of Z1 before each Z2/Z5 works great. Tried last weekend and the result is amazing. Gen, are u organising another mass Zaino session again?

Ren888, how's your result?

The trick is really a good claybar.
