Just used it on my 951 ... works great. Canadian site --> Forever black

Used it on the LR as well. Make sure you use tape around the trim.

I just spoke with Sal Zaino and put together my master list of how to use Zaino based on that discussion at https://rennlist.com/forums/showpost...30&postcount=6

I have a year old Boxster - Arctic Silver. Is there anything to be gained by using Klasse AIO with P21 wax for a car of this color and age? I keep it garaged and its a weekender.

TIA
Dave

i have most all of that stuff, but if you haven't tried the Optimum product line of polishes and compounds, combined with the trusty Cyclo do so.. Anthony Orosco turned me on to them and they rock..

YES! You will LOVE the results of Klasse AIO WITH Klasse High Gloss Sealant followed by P21s Carnauba wax. That combo makes light metallics pop like nobody's business, and it is easy to use.

Take a look at my wife's SUV in my photo gallery (ronmart's stable) to see the results.

Thanks for the input. I'll give it a go. I'm going to wait a month or two for the temps to cool down a bit here, but I will be giving it the full treatment.

Thanks again for the help with this question and all the other useful information in this post!!

Light coloured paint:
Lighter colour paints (i.e. Silver, White, etc (the exception is speed yellow) will never obtain jetting (the so called ‘wet-look’) of black or dark colours as they do not exhibit visible depth, light colours tends to refract light instead of reflecting it. You can obtain a good gloss provided the paint is good quality and if it’s prepared and detailed correctly; washed, cleaned (detailer’s clay) polished and a polymer sealant added (Zaino, Klasse AIO and SG, Jeffswerkstatt - Acrylic Jett ) these sealants will provide a flat silvery-white shine, but without ‘depth’. By adding a Carnauba wax as an LSP (Pinnacle Souverän Paste Carnauba, Victoria Concourse or Autoglym Super Resin Polish) the oils that are formulated in the Carnauba waxes provide a reflective gloss, which causes jetting (a ‘wetting’ of the surface)

For optimal results the surface of a light coloured paint to show gloss is very much dependant upon good / excellent paint condition, adequately prepped to remove contaminants and minor imperfections. Detailer’s clay (Sonus SFX Ultra-Fine Detailing Clay Bar) and / or Paint cleaner (Zaino PC or Klasse AIO) should be a regular part of the preparation process.
