Which of the top tier products polymer coatings will make my '07 Ligntning Blue MCS shine/glow/look the best??:

1. Prima Epic
2. Zaino (pic a number)
3. Ultima Finish Care

I know they each have their strengths as far as depth vs shine vs warmth. Which one will compliment the Lightning Blue color?

Thanks for any and all feedback

 

No one??

I was hoping Heather or Nick would have some info to share.

 

Hydro!

I have never seen lightning blue in person but if you are looking for a shiney shiney shine over depth of shine Klasse All-In-One topped with Klasse Sealant Glaze is very very reflectively shiney

 

I have found a wash with Mystique and wet dry with Hydro brings up the shine on my 07 DS/W, before winter I will do a complete detail with with Epic then maintain with my wash/hydro routine. These are all avialble via DP.

Pictures in my albums, link in the sig.

 

Epic, Hydro, and then topped with some ps21 seem to make my mini shine like no tomorrow. Ofocurse some quick deatiler everyday extends the beautiful shine

 

So which outcome does each product produce on Lightning Blue?

I'm looking for something like this: (example only)Thanks!

 

you should also toss in Griot's sealant into the mix.
that stuff is ULTRA shiny.

 

I don't think you can go wrong with Klasse or Zaino but looking at results I decided on the Prima line. I think it would work quite well with LB and is very easy to use.

 

If you're looking for a happy medium between shine, depth, and warmth, and assuming you don't want to rewax every month with carnauba, Epic is a nice compromise and lasts for 6 months.

 

with Griot's Best of Show (carnauba) it lasted just as long as Epic from my experiment.

 

Come on Zaino users! Somebody tell me something good about what it will do for Lightning Blue Metalic.

What about Ultima Finish Care? Is it any good???

 

Are there no Zaino or Ultima users out there?? Tell me what's good or bad about them....please!

 

I've used One grand bliz as a top coat to bring out the shine...
I use hydro at every car wash... love that stuff.

 

Yeah, I've heard a lot of good things about Epic and Hydro.

I'm just looking for opinions from Mini owners with medium to dark metallic paint that have tried Zaino and Ultima too.

 

I have an 06 HB/W and I love Zaino. It is definitely shiny! I haven't used Epic (yet) but I will try it eventually when I'm ready for a change (from boredom most likely).

 

If shiney was the key, and not depth, klasse AIO + sealant glaze rocks.

I need depth + durability so I went Epic. THere might be others out there, but not tested on here.

Griot's natural waxes are awesome. I just know they can be reduced by ice and snow after a while when it is difficult to reapply.

 

On your daily drivers??

 

zaino on chili red...have used it for 3 years....I reapply 2 coats every 3-4(or 5-6) months.....great stuff: very very shiny, extremely slick and long lasting, beads lke crazy even after 2-3 months...the car always seems to looks clean, but I wash every week or two anyway.....I use it on the wheels too so brake dust just washes off easily.....on the windshield too....doesn't seem to cause the dreaded white residue on the arches, but I try to be careful anyway

 

Epic then Hydro.....

 

yep. i originally started out with only BofS. then i stripped it off
and tried Epic on my Civic, and BofS kept on my Legacy. both parked
out doors 24/7.

they both wore off about the same time. this is why i switched to
Epic cause it is easier to use than BofS.

and then switched to Hydro cause it's easier to use than Epic.

 

Umberto -- What Z-#'s do you use?

 

Z5 Pro, followed by 2 coats of Z2 Pro.....

 

kinda fuzzy picture, but here is Best of Show with about 20min or so of motoring dust
on it. last app was back in April or something.

 

On the carnauba topper I was thinking the same thing, only S100, which can be purchased at your local Harley dealer! The shine and depth with S100 is amazing!

I have not read any reviews on Ultima yet, but I am very curious about it given the claims. Low dust attraction would be huge!
