A few amateur questions :)

Laplacian · 01-25-2006, 04:08 PM

Everyone's advice here seems to be pretty good. I like hearing about how you guys protect your new machines. I have a few easy amateur questions for all you detailing pros:
1. What do you use to protect your glass? For those that use Zaino, do you put Z2/ZFX on all of the windows? Or Klasse Sealant Glaze for those who use that? Or nothing at all?
2. How soon after you get your car can you wax it? I've heard that you should wait a few months at least because the paint is brand new. Is that a myth?
3. Which lasts longer: Zaino or Klasse? I really don't want to detail my car more than 1 or 2 times a year (and I live in a sunny area, no snow, etc.).

Thanks!

#1 RainX or nothing at all. You can't "protect" glass
#2 As soon as you get it home. (In old days, you needed to wait)
#3 You didn't mention how much dust, but I'd say ZAINO will ultimtely last longer, but if you don't have to wash it that often then either would be fine. (Nothing will last 1 yr).

My humble $.02

if you do a search, you'll find TONS AND TONS of information about each of your questions.

Thanks, Socom. My current car doesn't get too dusty and I only really need to wash it every 2-3 months or so.

vladinecko, I have done many searches and while there are tons of info about cleaners and polishers, I can't see exactly where anyone has answered these questions exactly. Besides, this is a forum--it's for asking questions. It's not like I'm beating a dead horse. By the way, do you guys know when the 335 is coming out?
