the car is silver. paint is mostly original and in good shape. 88,000 miles so not perfect but still better than average. im looking for a good topcoat (final step) wax/polish. more than likely this will be rubbed on by hand. for my base, ill be using jeff werkstat's prime strong (WERKSTAT Detailing: Prime). ive used this before will good results. i have several different options of topcoats from him as well but i just dont like how they apply. somewhat difficult to use imo. i wanted to try the zaino z2 pro (Z-2 PRO Show Car Polish for Clear Coated Car Finishes: Zaino Store). recently i've noticed zaino adding to the application description that is a must to use the ZFX Flash Cure Accelerator. i want simple, this doesnt seem simple. i also refuse to spend 19.95 on top of the 14.95 for a topcoat formula.
give me some suggestions please.
heres what i want from a topcoat:
- to compliment the werkstat prime strong
- a topcoat: just that. no other steps
- easy on easy off
- no powder
- long lasting protection
- something that really makes it shine
- affordable
i have bought some 'pink wax' at a autoshow last year, but havent tried it yet. not sure if this would work as a topcoat or not. once upon a time, i think it went by the name 'liquid lustre'. crappy website: pink wax
also, as expected from a near 90k car - the front bumper has bug guts all over it. the kind that just doesnt wash off. paint is still good on the bumper but i was wondering, is there anything at there that helps with this? i know this is a common problem. wondering if there was a alternative other than re painting.
thanks for any suggestions guys
