Carnauba spray wax or QD with carnauba base (Ex. Pinnacle Crystal Mist Detail Spray or DP Final Gloss Quick Detailer).

Well thanks for all the suggestions.

I'm working on ONR.

The Lake Country pads are in and they will be up hopefully by next week.

I will be uploading the CR Spotless systems.

As for Poorboy I probably won't be carrying it.

Jeff Werkstatt great product they are direct only.

Foam Canon too many different variations so that might not make sense.

A quick detailer with carnauba I carry Swissvax Quick Finish

Chemical Guys well let's see.....

Zymol I carry Swissvax which I like much better.

Chemical guys and poorboys both are near clones of adams, Which IMHO is a more solid less confusing product line. PB is what i started with, I still use some of it and CG products.

To be truth full, 1z is by far the most complete, and competent line out there. Even my local retailers of 3m, and Megs pro-line/bodyshop line do not encompass what 1z does.

Ragtop is a good product so is 303. I usually6 buy the professional equivelent from the carpet/upholstery industry.

For a quality detail spray try lackfinish by 1z. 1-2 spritzes per 1/4 on a foam applicator pad.

I think as a sponsor of this board you'll get a lot of sales of the 2 most popular protectants for our convertible tops.

I have some right now. By far the worst high priced stuff i have ever used. Mine streaks like crazy and i've tried numerous times to give it a shot. If i come behind it with FK, Z8 or FD it cleans right up. The cockpit detailer isn't bad if you just want to freshen up for interior. It's probably just perfumed water though.

I initially had the same problem. Here is what is happening. Your using way to much.

I use these applicator pads
sonus sfx pro applicator

I use 6-8 sprays for the entire car.

You spray the pad 1 time per panel. I'm not kidding. I went through 2/3rds of a bottle on two cars and it was streaky as hell. I have now used less than half of the remaining 1/3rd of the bottle on nearly 15 cars.

Spoke to Mike at Einszett about it and he gave me the tip. The older formula of lackfinish is more like a spray wax than a detail spray. The new formula in 10L size is an actual detail spray.

If you have the old formula you can dilute it 1:6 to make it more a detail spray than a spray wax, Or simply use the 6-8 sprays per car.

I hope that helps.

FWIW, you can always contact Mike at einszett or Phil to get a better clarification of each of the 1z products.
