Best wax?

I find thhe wording odd in their description, it says it's "not a quick detail spray" but goes on to extoll it's virtues for a quick shine, durability, and use before a show. That a detail spray in anyone's book. I can tell with absolute certainty... it's the best detail spray I've ever seen.

I use Z2-Pro as my polish one a month.
I use Z-CS as a sealant and glaze every week.
I then use Z8 for touch ups and at shows.

So far that combination has paid off well for me.

I've seen some pics of jamies shine, it's sparkly for sure, even on a 13 year old black lsc.
 
here are a few pics of my 97 after cutting the car with meguiars 105, swirl removal with meguiars 205, then polishing with my meguiars Electric D.A and Blackfire.

that black trim is as old as the car lol. all LSC's have color matching trim, only base models are chrome.

I think the lsc rear trim looks sick, but I like the chrome grill better.
 
Im not sire I understand, I washed it, did the Z2, buffed it did Z8 and there were no swirls. After applying Z-CS there are wet swirls like its not drying.
 
What was the temp when you did it? If it looked WET, you prob used too much...... you just need a VERY LITTLE! I usuelly spray it on my applicator, then put it on. What color is the car?

How long does Z-CS take to "dry"? I've got swirl marks all over the place and I did use sparingly.

You absolutely used too much. The spray is a fine mist, one squirt will do half your roof, 1/4 the hood, etc. I usually spray the applicator and just lightly apply and let dry overnight.
 
And now its dried to a white haze, I guess ill wipe it off and try using less. This stuff is touchy. It's black temp is about 60F

That means you definitely used WAY too much... WAY TOO MUCH!! You can buff off the excess.

Just give your applicator a couple of sprays to moisten it then start at the roof and give ONE spray onto half the roof (ONE ONLY) and spread it over half your roof. Repeat for the other side with ONE SPRAY ONLY. You'll see that there is now a very thin, slightly oily film on the surface. This is all you need. Repeat this for the rest of the car applying this film coat in sections about equivalent to half the roof area. You'll get the hang of it pretty quickly. It will dry optically clear.

Let's just say that I use CS after every polishing on two cars and one bottle lasts me a whole season, that's how little you need of this stuff.
 
Alright l, let me ask this, how much preasure should be applied to the applicator? The bottle says to" work it into the paint" But it seems that where the cloudiness is appearing is where I first place the pad onto the car, and it doesn't really spread from there and that's where its too thick and dries to a haze.
 
Huh? Are we talking about the same product here? The CS is clear and slightly more viscous than water. It should spread very easily. See it and instructions HERE
