It was like that when I bought it...I don't wash that car

When did we do that Chris? I remember it was still cold...you've got long sleeves on in the pic and the tree doesn't have leaves yet. I can still see that spot on the car when It's clean. I never did get around to doing the rest of the car, cause really it's the wifes...what fun is it to Klasse it? But I'm surprised how well it stands up. Obviously it's faded considerably, but we never wash that car, it's always parked outdoors in the sun and sometimes under a tree that sprayed sap all over, and the fact that you can still see that spot is a real testament to how good Klasse really is.

I disagree.
The 1st season I used Mequires and I was not happy with the end result.
I switched to Zaino the 2nd season and it brought out the metallic flakes in my paint. I will try to find a pic from the 40th in Nashville, my DSG a car over from another DSG.
The colour of my car looks far superior to the car without any Zaino.


Here is another DSG Mach1, me on the left (we gathered for the group Mach1 photo)



Must have worked, I walked away with...

Picking up colors means the color of the surface changing colors, not enhancing metallic. For example, if my White Cobra is sealed with Wolfgang and I park it next to a blue wall, the white appears to absorb the blue. Not reflect it, but rather appear to change colors. Red Car will turn orange and so on.

Its all in prep. Products aid in the final finish but preparation is 90%. Whether its Zaino, Klasse or Meguiars, if the products are used properly they will all win awards.
