Prima Amigo, Epic and monster fluffy microfiber reviews

Ok, so I have been a Zaino guy for a long time...

So after reading Kenchan's posts I decided to go for.

Ordered up some Prima Amigo, Prima Epic, and some of those towels he was raving about.

Ok, so I washed the MINI, claybared, washed again, and used the air compressor to blow out the water. I then taped off all of my black trim.

After this I used an orange pad on my Porter Cable and set to 5 and used the Prima Amigo. They weren't kidding, this stuff is your new best friend. I used this to prep the paint. It left the painted surfaces feeling very soft and smooth.

I then wiped down all the panels with the monster fluffy microfiber towels. These have got to be the best towels, bar none, that I have ever used for this purpose. Even if you don't like any of the other products Detailer's Paradise sells, buy these. You won't be disappointed.

Next, I used a soft wax applicator on the P/C set at 3 and applied the wax to the whole car. I let it sit for about 30 minutes.

After this I used those fantastic towels to remove the wax. The car felt smooth and looked great. I parked back out in the sun and was amazed at how the metalic in my PS looked and how glossy the black on the roof looked.

Now they say you need to wait 24 hours for it to fully cure. I went outside at lunch, and it just looked amazing.

Depending on how this stuff holds up, Zaino may be only a memory for me.

I highly recommend Prima!
