That looks so awesome makes me wanna go out and work on my car....That Menzerna stuff is awesome. Zaino and Menzerna are hands down IMO the best synthetic wax to obtain the deepest/wettest shine on a dark colored vehicle.

I have a question for you detailers out there...
Since Menzerna is not a wax or sealant, it says that you MUST use a wax or sealant as a final coat to protect the Menzerna polishing process. That said, what do people recommend? Autogeek said Wolfgang Paint Sealant. Would Rejex or some of the Zaino products work too? What'sw the ideal finishing product?
PS - Your car looks AWESOME! I am now sold on this stuff. First Rejex, then Zaino, then Ultima and now this. Hahahaha!

Menzerna FMJ (Full Molecular Jacket) - is a sealant
Menzerna hopes to win the hearts of American enthusiasts with a super "wax" they call FMJ. The initials stand for Full Molecular Jacket. FMJ is an advanced, water-based, polymer paint protectant incorporating the latest in German super-polymer technology. FMJ is not in the strictest sense a wax. It contains no carnauba wax, bees wax or German montan waxes. I'm told that this product started with a clean sheet of paper and natural waxes, including carnauba, were rejected early on because of their dependency on a strong petroleum solvent base and their limited durability.

i was told by the detailer himself.. its not the sealant that is bringing the shine... its actually the polishing procedure....that cleanses the clearcoat free of any scratches that prevents you from giving the shine
when that pic was taken... not even a single swirl or tiny scratches can bee seen at all... polishing process was 100% perfect

What is the "polishing procedure"?
I have a brand new 550 in Carbon Black and it had swirls when I picked it up at dealer.
I'd like to get rid of them.
