    WG is currently my product of choice, Im a big fan of Polymers. I believe they provide stunning clarity, depth, and all around visual satisfaction, as well as unsurpassed durability. I feel two consecutive layers applied 24 hrs apart is the hot ticket ! I have never used zaino but have read many...

    New Dupont products.

    I detail for a hobby on weekends, and Dupont got my curiosity going. even though its not manufactured by Dupont, they apprently found it worthy enough to put their label on it. Its made by a company called Tenneco. Im pretty much the old fashioned detailer, no hi speed polishing, only PC. I use...

    Re: Waxing new paint, use a sealer first?

    If you use a proper sealant, there wouldnt be a need for a wax, unless you have problems with dust or pollem. Some sealants (Polymers) are a little oilier than most carnaubas....You could "top" the sealant with wax, but wait 24 hrs for the seaalnt to cure......

    New Dupont line of Waxes and protectants

    Like any other product, evaluation is needed. So why sit back and wait for it? Dupont isnt going to put their name and reputation on the line if the product isnt worthy of something another product cant provide. Ketchup is great on hot dogs, so why not try it? Deception? From Dupont? I highly...

    New Dupont line of Waxes and protectants

    Actually, Tenneco is more or less using the dupont name and teflon product. Im not sure dupont even has a lot to do with the product. But your right, Teflon is useless if applied under about 700 degrees......However, if they patented a fomula for its use in the auto car care industry, my...
