Sorry about my red X's guys. I switchd servers and the images are no longer there.

Raf, Thats odd, usually Carnauba,s or other natural waxes soak up colors from other objects and give a soft glow like the pic of the orange panel. Zaino is highly reflective but usually doesn't pick up any colors. Do you happen to top the Zaino with a Carnauba? Does the car look orange with the naked eye or only when pictures are taken?

Well since I deleted the other pics here are some before and after pics with Klasse. What I do like about Klasse vs other sealants such as Zaino is that Klasse has defect removal capabilities such as swirls and oxidization! Look at these pics!

Before

Halfway..



after

those pictures were taken with the sun right on it. it looks orange in person too with the sun on it like that but more so in the pic i think.

All I used was a claybar. z2 and z5 (1 coat of each)
with the sun on it it looks orangy but as soon as its in the shade it looks alot darker.

Chris what do you think is better on a black car? Klasse, Zaino or Wolfgang? This is for my 01GT....

Oh yeah and what do you use to dry your car after washing? I currently use a Chamoise (sp?) but I think it may scratch the car a bit? What should I use?

On Black I recommend Klasse or Zaino. Keep in mind though unless your car already looks perfect Zaino is not a good choice. Zaino is a just a Sealant and does nothing for swirls, scuffs, marring etc. Klasse's first step will do wonders. I use Microfiber Waffle Weave Towels to dry cars, no scratching, especially on black.

The last 2 times I waxed the stang I tried eagle 1 nanowax. The car is black and has always been shined using Meguiars cleaner, polish, then gold class.
I stripped the car using new dawn detergent (4 times) then applied the Eagle 1 and WOW 1 step looked as good or better than all the steps using Meguiars.
BUT !!! bird sh*t stained the wax coating way worse than the Meguairs and it didnt last more than 3/4 weeks. It was very easy to apply and rub off. I will be back to the old way for next season.
