what do you think of blackfire? im trying to pick between that and klasse and cant decide.
i heard blackfire leaves a VERY slick, wetlook, surface...better than klasse AIO & SG???
thanks

Nothing beats a Zaino shine. Go to any other board ie corvetteforum or mustang forum and it isn't even a close discussion! Zaino rules those boards and is an unbelievable product. I've used it on my vette and my 530i. It protects like no other and makes it shine like no other. Most waxes contain abrasives that scratch the clear coat. They all melt in the sunlight. Have fun!

tried S100 this past weekend (sister-product of P21S) and it was awesome. easy on, easy off, the first ever wax i found that DOESNT leave white residue, and the shine is marvelous. gonna put another coat this weekend, which i hear will make it even better.

gonna wait off on klasse till the winter...i dont mind waxing right now

I used Meguiar's Gold Class Wax a few weeks ago & the car looks amazing.

This week Wednesday I went on a long distance highway trip & got a lot of bugs all over the front.

Normally l try to clean the car the same day or day after, but the first chance I had was Saturday.

l was very impressed to see that 99% of the bugs came off whilst pre-rinsing the car.

The balance came off no problem during washing.

Just completed my 3rd application of Zymol Concours. At first I thought this was a lot of expense just to get a shine. But through practice, I have learned not to use so much of the product and the results are fantastic. I have done some side by side comparisons with Meguiar's Gold Class Wax, Rejex and P21S Concours Carnauba Wax on various sections of the car and the Zymol comes out on top in shine and in application. What I especially like about application is putting it on with my hands, no applicator. Take a little bit and warm it up between your hands and then apply directly. Do a section and before it dries you wipe with microfibre. I get to feel the car. Any little imperfections I can feel and take care of on the spot. Little bits of road tar not visible to the eye, or pieces of debris kicked up on the car I can feel and get rid of right away. It helps me bond with the car as well, although my wife stormed about on Sunday saying I was not paying any attention to her. So I stopped immediately and took her to lunch in her car. When we came back I finished up the job I started. The others are Ok but I am really happy with this product and will continue to use it exclusivley on my car. I use the other products on the Audi, after all it is just an Audi (Rejex on the all the wheels, however).
