No I am talking 30 hours of polishing over a period of a couple weeks then the rest is applying sealants over the next month.

Gloss and depth like that doesn't come by throwing a coat of OTC wax at it.

I've used Klasse before (black volvo). Just got some zaino, waiting for a nice not too hot day to try it out.

You mean I can't get a shine like that with nu-finish????

Actually with the proper polishing and prep you can come close to Klasse with NuFinish.

if you park your car outside, and you polish and seal it, how long do you think the paint will look that shiny for? will it be easier to wash after you polish and seal it?

OTC wax or carnubas will give you a couple weeks good protection .. Sealants will give you a few months .. and yes its easier to wash/dry.

I think if you put the cars side by side your reflection wouldn't be "like" this one .. especially a month down the road.
