you are correct. shine is not very hard to achieve, especially with S100. I really like the masking quality it has and really makes the paint look good. Zaino's shine will definitely surpass it in my opinion on a well prepped surface.

AlBoston, what do you suggest for keeping the polished lip on my wheels clean and scratch free.. and if there are some tiny scratches, how can I remove 'em?

i can't.. looked into it.. it would require modifying the rear spare wheel well. i don't want to mess with all that. I like have my rear looks as is.. I am done modifying it looks wise. now i am mainly going to focus on the performance aspects of things.

Maybe I can try it in my dealer
I gave'em the blank survey....

the detail as they usually charge is $175 at HOI. You can probably ask for other stuff if you don't want the detail.

thx, but I don't really feel it's necessary because if someone really want to do something they would've done it already when they see me on the street. Even if they do have the intention to do something, they won't be able to get into my community.

Harley Davidson stores (motorbike stores) sell the S100 wax for like 15.00 bucks.. it's worth the buy.. they can only be found at this stores though.. the other alternative product (same thing, different name) is called S21, but you will pay 10.00 more just for the name.
Ok i got some s100. any tips?

thx

this is after another coat of Zymol...it brings out the color more under the sun, but nothing like the mirror effect on true black cars like the ones AMG BRED posted.
