I just know that had i done your car the way i did mine you'd have also been blown away at the rsults. It doesn't get any slicker, shinier and deeper than i got mine just using wax and what i consider a great detailer. Time is the test, but then as i said before, i prefer not to wait so long between detailing because i just refuse to believe that after say 5 years, a paint job that only gets coated once every 6 months or year is going to be in as good condition as one that gets clayed a couple times a year and waxed every 2 or 3 months with a QD here and there after washing. I don't think anyone has definitive proof of anything discussed here because there are infinate variables. But thats my feeling anyway.
Exactly. Initial results are not a huge reason to buy 5 star, as its main selling point is to protect and look good for YEARS.
My general scheme with my car is:
full detail twice a year(clay, medium cut polish, light cut polish/cleaner, pre-cleaner, sealant) then I spread out my detailing by applying sucessive coats of sealant and/or top with wax. between the 2 detailings, I usually take the light cut polish and a fine (white) polishing pad, and my Porter Cable and start anew with a different sealant/wax approach.
Now, this is a lot of work--and I can understand if somebody isn't so inclined to do this. All in all, 2 full details, 4 light polish/protection details, and waxing 4 times in between is probably uhm, well, it's a lot of work. So I understand the appeal to people that don't enjoy it of 5 star.
