Just got my Zaino Car wax in

[MIKES3]

I decided to give it a try. I ordered the Z-2 PRO Show Car Polish for Clear Coated Car Finishes and the Z-5 PRO Show Car Polish for Swirl Marks and Fine Scratches. I'm going to wash,clay bar and way my car as well as my GFs over the weekend. This ought to be good.



I have Chrome rims on my car. Can anyone reccomend a good chrome polish I can buy w/o ordering and waiting?

I forget what it is called, but there is a rim cleaner at autozone that is really good. Its in a red spray bottle.

I dont like the feel of the paint when I rub my palms on it. Its not to my standards. Its not a brand new car. It has 8k miles and some chick oned it prior to the dealership. I doubt they claybar at the dealerships plus I want to take off whatever wax they use and re apply my own.

Yea dude for some reason I was thinking of the guy who just bought the M3 when I typed that, that was my bad haha. But I think Mother's sells chrome polish, I used the aluminum polish with a powerball mini on my stock Grand Prix tips after wetsand the living hell out of them and they turned out really nice

You can wetsand chrome w/o scratching it? Forgive my lack of knowledge on that but I had no idea

 

[AlmightyBirdman]

No you'll most likely scrath the finish, but using a powerball and chrome cleaner on them should give them a really nice shine. I just wetsanded all the carbon and buildup off my aluminum stock tips.

I have a feeling they're polished aluminum. What's good for that?

that zaino stuff works great but its sooooooo complicated to use... the wax is called polish and the polish is called something else, and you are soposed to apply the 2nd layer without removing the first?!?!?!?!? ill just stick to my poorboys.

Wow you guys spend lots of time on your cleaning.

I dont even think i have car soap....then again ive never washed the impala since owning it. Dirty cars help keep the sleeper look

i used chrome polish and a power ball on mine, things were shiney as hell. now all i gotta do is wet them with some water and wipe off with towel and the shine is still there

Clean cars help control Knock. Its a supporting mod.

I dont think the paint job could survive a good car wash
Im getting tired of seeing the previous orange color show through as it is

So how is the new ride Mike(s3)?
