Zano paint cleaner+swirl removal, 1Z Einszett Polish, Colinite 845 Wax/Sealer = SEX

These were given as samples to try and provide feed back on autopia.org I wanted to share this with you guys since it did a really great job. Total time was about 3 1/2 hours. By far Colinite was the best sealer ive tried. Finishes off giving the car this amazing wet look! Beads water like you wouldn't believe it!

Started with:

1.1Z Einszett Perls Shampoo Premium Car Wash

2.California gold Clay kit

3.Zano paint cleaner + swirl remover

4.Colinite 845 Wax/Sealer

On wheels:

1.Meguires aluminum/metal polish on lips

2.Meguires # 26 Professional hi-tech high gloss yellow wax

Exhaust finished with:

Meguires aluminum/metal polish on lips


For the pictures

It's been more than a year and holding up just fine. Today with the Sealer it def made it look like it was painted. Best 50 bucks Ive spent on a mod.


To everyone else Thanks for the comments keep them coming.

I like the 2 tone. At the Long island meet almost every white TL there had a black painted roof. I assure you mine looked painted as well compair to theirs. On top of which almost everyone that spoke to me said they love the 2 tone idea with the Antenna white. The total black look wasn't doing it for me. Besides therefore I stay different from the rest hahaha.

Looks good Gus... I wish my cat can be as clean as your

However... You do know that your lips are clear coated... That metal polish is just thining out that clear coat and eventually will start to peel... Treat them like your paint... And they should hold up just fine...

glad to see they look AWESOME on your car,

but fyi, you NEED to get aftermarket lug nuts ASAP. or else you'll eventually mishape your lug holes and they will be forever damaged. never use stock lugs on aftermarket wheels and vice versa.

Did you use a polish machine to achieve those results?? If so, what'd you use?

Or was it strictly elbow grease?

Machine applied and buffed, then went over it with a microfiber towel between each new application. The only thing that wasn't taken off with a buffer with the sealer. It was buffed by hand.
