This car had a coat of Zaino Z2Pro about a month ago. Nothing seems to bond correctly to the paint; Z2 was hard to apply and didn't leave the paint any slicker than it already was. Even though slickness didn't change, the car still looks great and beads water to no end.

Today I just washed with an LCM Mitt (http://danase.com/lacomarowami.html) and CG BodyWash & Wax (http://danase.com/chguexbowaxg1.html). The mitt is awesome and is very easy to care for, and the wash is excellent. Lubricity and cleaning ability are top notch, but I couldn't tell if there was any increase in slickness because as I already mentioned, nothing can make the paint slick. :( IMO the car looks great after the wash, but it didn't sheet off as well as Meg's Gold Class (that may have been due to the Zaino, however :wink: ). Enjoy!

Looks real good! Nice flake on that. Not bad at all for just a wash

Thanks! :) Yeah, it seems to clean up well and looks great after a wash, but no matter what polishes and LSP's I use, I can't get the car slick :(

Nice pics!
That is odd about the paint not being slick.

I think it has to do with Jeeps. We have a 98 Wrangler and it's hard to get the finish to look excellent. It can look good but the gloss and slickness just isn't there. Not sure if that's the case or not but I noticed different traits of Jeep paints vs. others.

That probably is the case. I'm going to search and see if I can find any similar model Jeeps that were detailed by other poeple and what their reactions were/
