Nick,

I most definitely am interested. I have been searching this forum and sifting through perfectlaps recommendations in trying to decide what I should use on my car. Mine is GT silver as you know and does not require the level of detailing as your black car. I just have odd bits and pieces from Mcguire's and local autoshops and need to start from scratch.

Have any recs? I will continue to search and let you know about what I would like in bulk. I can then pay you back when I meet you guys at the autocross.

Thanks,

hjkim550,

All I really use is Z-5 and Z-6. The Z-5 is like wax, and works better than anything I have ever used. The Z-6 is just a quick detailer and works great between washes. The Z-5 is great for black because it helps remove swirl marks and fine scratches. With your color car, Z-2 would probably be better. Hopefully Perfectlap will chime in ( he's our resident expert ).

Hope that helps...

Nick

Im in!

hey guys - Im a new Chicago addition and wanted to say hi and introduce myself. Im sure well meet soon...my "new" 99 Boxster is being loaded on a truck Friday and being shipped here from florida; I cannot wait!!!

Man am I overwhelmed with Boxster info....stereo upgrades, wheels, tires, bodykits, desnorkeling and now....car wash?! I never knew there was so much to owning a cool car. I feel like even more of a rook now than when I decided to get the thing.

I guess Ill get the works and follow your lead...I dont know if it has/had a clear coat on it (its a 99), so Im probably best going with Z3, yes? Z5, Z6 & Z7...any other recommendations and on how many bottles to get?

Let me know and I can paypal you if you like,

eric chez

sjkim550 -- I recommend the Zaino system. Here is a link to my post that describes my experiences with it:

If anything, I'm even more pleased over time. The car still has a nice shine to it.
