Meguiars DACP via rotary, Wolfgang prepolish via Porter Cable 7424, Wolfgang sealant via hand:

Clearkote Vanilla Moose, Poorboys EX-P, Blackfire sealant, Meguiars#16

Meguiars DACP via porter cable 7424, Gliptone ProBuff, Mixture of Meguiars NXT/Poorboys EX-P/Blackfiresealant. Note: I don't recommend mixing products, this probably most closely mimics Poorboys EX-P. Vanilla Moose + EX-P gives a very wet look. "Dipped in salad oil" you could say:


But if you read my other threads, you'll notice there's a lot of prep work. Something to keep in mind.

I personally like the mothers line of waxes. I use the three step process and I get baby smooth paint and it lasts and lasts, of course not counting on the rain for long periods of time but I always love the way mothers applies and comes of easily and give you that nice shine.

have you tried synthetics like Finish First, Zaino and the like? I can't really speak on Zaino cause I've never used it, but Finish First polish is super easy to use and the shine is sweet, not to mention it bonds to the paint and can be layered to provided outstanding depth.

It cannot be layered due to the cleaning properties.

Zaino or Finish First? I know for a fact FF can be layered, matter of fact, it's recommended to put on 2-3 coats on the first application. Like I said, I can't speak on Zaino, never used it.

Finish First. 2-3 layers would be recommended for "even coverage." However, if a product has cleaning ability (as Finish First advertises) then when you put on the first coat, and go back to applying the second, the first is removed by the application of the second coat. Therefore, you really can't "layer" it.
