Crystal Guard wax report

Okay. If you guys really want to see the pics, I'll get them uploaded but they were freakin' awful--embarrassingly so. It was right at dusk/dark and the flood lights from the house screwed up everything so you can't tell jack shi+. The look like a Fisher-Price experiment more than anything.

I went out of town for 5 days and it rained right before I left, so the car is dirty as h=ll now...

Anyway, the Crystal Guard wax is pretty interesting stuff. Again, you spray it on while the car is wet and wipe it down witha microfiber cloth (of course this is after the car has been washed and is free of dirt, etc...). The depth and shine is pretty darn good. Better than anything else I've used except Liquid Glass after a ton of coats. Again, I have not done Zaino and again, my car had a decent coat of wax on it still (about 4 months ago at the dealer), but it looked d@mn fine for the limited work I put into it. That being said, post application the finish did not feel extraordinary. The actual benefit of protection concerns me some based on the "feeling" of the product on the paint, though the website claims it does protect...

I'd highly recommend this stuff especialy for quick detailing. I'll take some pics next weekend after cleaning the car again and I'll reapply if needed and report back on protection issues...

Jim, I did receive the sample you sent me (thanks by the way) but the weather has not been the best and now we've finally gone full tilt winter. I'll give you a report when spring allows for a proper application.

i've tried it, well with the sample bottle they've given me, and wasn't that incredibly impressed with it, price for the bang factor, i would still stick with my zaino

they have a real nice showroom though, well at least last time i was there, nice murcielago parked in there, they got a retailer in mountain view, pretty close to school for me
