Then I used Rejex on the wheels (inside and out) and on the calipers.

(2 coats ea) I used Ziano tire dressing on the plastic inside the wheel wells ( I tried several things over the last couple weeks in small "test" spots and liked this the best) Ziano 5 and then 2 on the paint while I was working on the wheels...

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

OK... just vote and give a quick blurb as to why...
I don't mind buying either, but don't want both...
and it's NOT like some cheap looking clear coating that leaves a greasy film that dries like a coating like Futura on the linoleum floors is it?
THANKS ALL,
Ed
to be sure....the most important part is pep. after that...it is all personal preference. I have used several types of carnuba (PS2, zymol) and several polymers ( rejex, nsx) but I don't use anything but Zaino now!
I am seeing this (after sever $100's already) Maybe instead of a shelf I should build an additional garage!! LOL
I am getting the picture now and will go ahead and buy BOTH - to ADD to the already full shelf of Griot's products (shich I am moderately happy with)
What do you use on the inside?
Ed
I use Rejex on the cars, the boats, and the airplanes, and they all go faster! Plus Rejex will prevent the browning that happens on the exhaust tips of both the cars and the turboprops.
Same idea, easier to use - Ultima Paint Prep Plus and Ultima Paint Guard Plus.

Polish and sealant - sooooo much easier than the products mentioned above, and stunning results.
PPP application is a 10 minute task on a 996 - and no buffing afterwards - eaaaaaasy!
Results:
Answers here are making me laugh so hard I fell off the chair.
Rejex on all painted surfaces. Zaino just as well. It's up to you. If you really want to work your butt off, use Zaino, and keep up with it.
On the other hand, if your paint is in great shape to start with, Rejex is perfect. I've used it for over four years on the C4S Cab, and the paint is 99% flawless. I tried Zaino on my '99, won't do that again. Way too much effort for the results.
The stuff works. That's why we carry it and I use it all the time.
Eric is the man (just got some awesome goodies from him)...
but Im a true Zaino believer. When I had a black car - it made the car look rediculous... On my C4S, it looks great too. I don't think its much work at all - except the first time you apply (because you should clay the car etc...) Plus, I like to support smaller businesses -- Sal Zaino emailed me back once on a Sunday morning. That's good service.
Here is a pic of a Zaino'd car - after about a month and 2-3 (dont remember) car washes, with NO re-application...
- not trying to picture *****, but the shine is very lasting~!
One thing to keep in mind: BOTH are excellent choices!
Try Rejex for $15 and see. If you don't like it after you use the bottle (about 4-5 applications or more), go to Zaino.
This is exactly what I did....still have 90% of the rejex bottle left. As I said prep. is everything and the car should be prepped properly (clay, wash, swirl removal...) before you apply the final materials (carnuba or polymer sealant) The prep is where the work (and time) is.
follow up:
7 hours of prep and cleaning later... I washed and dried w/ dawn (yukk), clay bar (again, I have done this before so it was easy), washed and dried, polished for any swirls, rinsed and dried, then started the real work...while putting on the polish and waiting for the cure, I removed each wheel (1 at a time) Cleaned the wheels inside and out ( I will tell you what I used, see what your thoughts are), wahsed out the wheel wells (careful not to get water on the paint) and washed the calipers.
Then I used Rejex on the wheels (inside and out) and on the calipers. (2 coats ea) I used Ziano tire dressing on the plastic inside the wheel wells ( I tried several things over the last couple weeks in small "test" spots and liked this the best) Ziano 5 and then 2 on the paint while I was working on the wheels...
This is a lot of work!!
results....
at first I wasnt too happy with what the ziano was looking like, but after a coulpe coats of the wax #2 it was looking pretty good, then I started to realize it was looking really good and even on the shallow section of the hood, I could NOT get my rags to stay put, they kept sliding off!!!
When my neighbor came over and was shocked how much better the car looked (said the black was even shiny in the shade) and my brother stopped by and said he thought it was looking really nice, that was proof.
long story, its not a one product fits all car, trying things that work for you is best. (PS anyone interested in some Griot's Garage stuff? LOL)
Wheel cleaner - I use "fast orange" hand cleaner. Cuts the brake dust instantly, smells great and keeps the hands clean...no hard scrubbing, simply wipe all the areas and rince...anyone have ideas on this?
Ed
I'm with cdodkin on the Ultima, totally converted (but Zaino was much more intimidating back in the day, now with clear seal / AIO etc it's pretty easy and also walk away)
Prep is everything, starting with polishing, but that's once a year at most.
here's some pics, menzerna + ultima + zaino z8 on 911

for evidence of prep being everything, here's just the polish on the MB

PS rejex works, as seen hereon our poor A6 that spends a lot of time parked overnight on manhattan streets
And speaking of pics, Ivan? Pics? (where's tim?)
posting,...2 days afterthe big clean - 100 miles of very good driving (topped 143, new personal best) and too sunny for pictures, but the kids started school today (teacher strike over) and I have been busy, but not TOO busy for all of you good people!!!
Ed
plus I suck at pictures...but here is my best shots!!! (sun was a problem today - Sun ? Seattle ??? YUP!!!! 80+ here today AGAIN!!)
PS remember $22k for this w/ over 100k miles on the mill (105+ now)...still going strong and looking OK!
boy no kidding, rejex is easy.. I sure spend a lot of time with Ziano...but as for today I like it, in time I will see how it holds up. The rejexs on calipers and wheels was way easy.... rain coming soon, then we will know!
As I said, save yourself the hassle and go with the Ultima sealant.
It's the next generation - and ease of use + best in class quality shine is a winning combo IMHO
But if you want to spend 7 hrs on your shine - go ahead and use the 'old stuff' LOL
2 Hrs from start to finish - wash, clay, polish with Paint Prep and then seal with Ultima - can't beat that!
Menzerna polish (hard, interdiate, finish)
Poorboys Carnauba sealant + Natty's Poorboys blue wax
I think that the product quality is important, but most important is to do a good job. Every polish, or wax from a reputate firm, wiil give you a fantastic result.
Why are you guys jacking his thread to show the products you use? You want to show off your stuff, start your own thread...and really why does anyone care so much about what products are used?
Can you just use the Ultima Polymer Sealant coating after you wash the car? I've already clayed and waxed my car a few months ago and its still in good shape...
can I apply the Ultima polymer coating on top of what wax is left on the car? 10 min is a great sell!!
but I have the say... that blue 996 with all the custom wax work looks PHENOMENAL! If I can get 80% of that with the Ultima product I'm sold...
In theory yes, but I've never done that...
The paint prep has some of the 'Polycharger' formula in it, and forms the base for the sealant - so results may not be what you're after if you don't use the polish first.
Plus it removes oxidation and polishes & fills swirls.
You sure you can't spare the time to even hand apply the paint prep first?
