Ok, so im going on leave, and will have my dads garage and hose starting on the 1st. i have 2 cars i need to clean hardcore. my '03 black mustang, and my wifes '09 red lancer.

the mustang needs some minor paint repair still, which i've been working on whenever i can, so i'll prolly hit the lancer first since it'll be a mostly quick clean.

just wondering mainly, between zaino, wet obession, and optimum no-rinse, which one should i use? i looked at prices for zaino, and they were a little on the expensive side. also keep in mind i need to order this soon so it'll be shipped to my parents house and be there when i get there.

i dont have a porter cable yet, i do have a cheapo 12" single speed, but i've used it before and it kinda sucks, got it from my uncle free...

i have some microfibers, but i prolly need some new ones, i also have a clay bar (meguires i think) im thinkin about cutting the clay bar in half and using one on the stang and one on the lancer?

 

I would use a polish to clean the paint, fix light swirls and scratches, plus bring out more shine and reflection. Then I would go with a glaze for some nice depth and wetness and then top with your wax.

OD Light Polish, OD Wet Glaze, and OD Wet Obsession are a great combo. All of these products are also currently on sale. If you are needing something fast, that isn't a problem at all, I ship most orders the same day.

 

outstanding! expect an order from me soon! awesome that you guys surf the boards! i was at work when i posted so i couldnt see your website to get a good grip on what to use, i browsed it before but being as im in an apartment right now its hard to keep up with the cleaning regimen i require.

 

Justin's products are great, you won't be disappointed.

 

So i went ahead and bought a porter cable, some pads, and some OD compound, polish, and opti-seal.

how much can i get out of an 8oz bottle of compound and polish? will i need more for 2 or 3 vehicles? i'll prolly be able to skip the compound on the 09 lancer since its only got 9000 miles on it, with some cheap wax

 

8oz? im pretty sure they come in 16oz or 32oz bottles.

 

i didnt buy it direct from OD. 8oz bottle was 9$ @ autogeek.net. i dont need a huge bottle right now as im only doing 2 vehicles. one of which is mostly new. if i need more i'll buy more(wee i love 3 day shipping). stang will be sittin in garage for next 3 months if not more anyways...

 

Hey Zero,

I'm not familiar with O.D. but I can tell you that the Zaino products are worth the extra cash. I currently use them on my GT after having tried Menzerna. I can't say that it was night and day, but the Zaino did seem to have a brilliance that Menzerna didn't. Just a thought.
