Wax/Polish of Choice

[Perfectlap]

Frodo, when you said you were thinking about wet sanding I thought you meant wet sanding a large area. Wet sanding the small spec of touch up paint is fine. I'd start of with a really high grit and work down.

darkhamr, I use an acrylic wax from http://986forum.com/forums/finishkareusa.com called 1000P. It dries like cement. I use it as a base wax for long term protection. I'll use a spray wax over it (a booster) like an Aqua Wax from duragloss, a tremendous bargain for $8 in a big bottle. if you're having issues with the surface losing its slickness or accumulating dirt I would recommend using an ant-static spray like 425 from the finishkareusa site as your LSP (last step product). The longevity of these products is tremendous for the low prices. I buy 425 by the gallon and always keep a few bottles in the garage.

Heck no, I'm nervous enough just workin' on these little specks with sand paper. SANDING LARGE AREAS?! I'd be as likely to take a chain saw to it...

I havent heard anyone mention Zaino Brothers.

I have used their products on my cars and love the results. Their polish is the easiest to use too. Put it on, let dry for a few hours, wipe off and presto. It doesnt discolor rubber or plastic either.

I use to use other polishes and waxes and found that they came right off with the next wash regardless of the car wash soap I used. Zaino lasts and you can put on multiple layers to give the finish a wet look that lasts for a month or longer.

No I am not a rep. for Zaino stuff, just a car lover who finally found a product line that works.

I heard great things about Zaino. There has been a long debate between Zymol and Zaino being the best. The two Z's . From all the waxes I tried. Zaino is the best by far, if you really love your car. you'll do multiple coats.
