Description: Prima Amigo is many things in a single product. It is a paintwork cleanser... a polymer-based glaze... and a super-fine polish which levels up to 3000 grit imperfections. Combine all three properties and you can see why we think it doesn’t fall into any currently defined categories of car care products.

The mild paint cleansers in Amigo break up oxidation and remove "dead" paint. Embedded grime is gently lifted from the surface. Mineral deposits from water spots disappear. It is the perfect prep-step for well-cared-for paint that just needs a cleaning before wax.

As a polymer-based glaze, it fills slight imperfections and adds stunning gloss while leaving the finish slick to the touch. What's unique about Amigo as a glaze is that it is polymer-based. Although it doesn’t provide protection the way Prima Epic will, it does allow you to go directly to your wax step without any bonding or durability issues. Try that with a “normal” glaze and your protection will simply rinse off. Prima Amigo allows you to fill imperfections, add gloss, then seal it in with your synthetic wax. No other product on the market gives you what Prima Amigo gives you in a single bottle.

If you have ever fought with black paint as you tried to remove the very last bit of hazing left by your polish steps, you will truly appreciate Prima Amigo. Used with your polisher, it will remove the lightest of surface imperfections. Black becomes a crystal lagoon of depth and clarity. Red becomes a bright liquidy glow of its former self. Light colors pop with brilliance. Prima Amigo is your last step to perfection.

Whether you are cleaning, glazing or polishing, spend some time with Amigo and you will see why we think it will be your new best friend.

Pros: Easy to apply with a random orbital buffer; outstanding results
Cons: None

Amigo rocks. It works as advertised - hard to believe, given how well Nick and Heather write copy ... but true.

I use it as the final polish step, using a Detailer's Paradise white pad with my Porter Cable polisher. It hides any remaining swirls and micro-marring, and leaves a mirror-smooth finish ready for sealant (I use Epic). Here's an example of the Amigo+Epic finish - the panels shown were NOT polished with more aggressive polishes first. Just Amigo and Epic, on a car that was about 10 months / 17,000 miles old. On Cool Blue metallic paint, which typically doesn't produce the high quality reflections you can achieve on Jet Black and other dark colors.
