Great.. great pic. I just discovered that the ripples I have in the doors and on the trunk are caused by orange peel in the basecoat.. do you think so? | ||

I definitely agree on the prep work part.. takes forever but worth the upkeep! Now, here are some shots I took on Sat of my daily driver. Its metallic black paint so in certain angles like the side shots, it starts great and then goes into a metallic grey sheen which I don't like. But in direct sunlight, the metallic flake looks great. I would have been much happier with a flat gloss black...  I have this "ripple" or "heat wave" in the paint that you can see in the last pic, either due to poor quality, sun damage.. I'm not quite sure. Any thoughts? Can I get much better then this? Sunny        | ||

I'd be interested in trying it, if the price were right. The key with detailing is PREP PREP PREP. I'm guessing that someone like Tako could use a cheap turtle wax on his cars and they will still look great, because he did the appropriate prep. Similarly, if you took the best wax or polymer (crystal guard, zaino, zymol, etc) and put it on my black daily driver alfa with tons of swirls, it wouldn't look as good. In fact, it might look worse, because the shine would amplify the swirls. I've used zaino, zymol, plus a whole bunch of other waxes, and what I find is the more prep I put into the car before waxing, the better it looks. Dom | ||

Tako, I've contactact Jim Campos with some questions, but you seem to definatley be the expert. I'm going to order the pro pak. I'd like to know if the pictures that you're posting are "typical". I mean, are you starting with the best paint, the best detailers, the best professional application, and the best of everything...kind of like in the muscle magizines, we all see the product that will build 50 lbs of muscle in 5 days and it show three slobs turned into supermen........ Also, it's 40 degrees in Ohio right now, does it need to be a certain temp for the C.G. to bond correctly, I'll be doing it in a garage of course, but I'm a little worried about the temp. Thoughts? Thanks! Philip | ||

Philip, That's a very good question about the removal of the old polymer and/or wax. In my case, as a trial, I applied KLASSE AIO and SG with three coats of P21S wax about three months ago though I am normally a Zaino person. So, I was concerned whether these polymers would come off and how, I washed it with Dawn and the grease remover TAKO gave me as a part of the basic Crystal Guard Quick kit to wash off the previous coating. To be honest with you, I do not think it came off completely. Then, I moved on to polishing with PC (Porter Cable) and then washed it again with Dawn followed by CG grease remover again. Then, at last, I applied the CG to finish. I almost think we need someone to "invent" the easy polymer remover, which could become a big seller.... | ||

The liquitech is another polymer bonding product, and apparently is very similiar to the C.G......at least according to other replies in this thread....what intrigues me the most about the C.G. is the apparent ease of application...that would be really nice.

Nice pix. But how does it look under a clear blue sky at noon? Under florescent light? Most, if not all, black cars will have some imperfections which will show up under certain conditions. Does the product leave the surface absolutely perfect under close scrutiny(no spider webbing, swirls,etc.)? | ||

One word Zymol. PH balanced, all natural... and there is no substitute for high dosages of Carnauba. The rear car photo... you can notice my yellow shop lamp at left-center that is about 6 feet above and also see the reflection of the rear window printing on the car's engine cover.  The photo with the blue shelf... notice depth and clarity. The more you look, the more you see. Sorry for my garage mess...  The final photo i turned upside down so you could better see the trees in their "normal state". Notice how my red car does not look red. It is more a mirror :-) Depth, clarity, yada yada... Zymol...  As always, if you need super high rez photo (3+MB files) let me know. Enjoy the Drive, Steven R. Rochlin | ||

I can't wait to see CG's durability. Anyway I could get a sample to use on my daily driver pictured below? Pledge is an urban legend. Pledge is a poor excuse of a quick detailing product, thats all. It was actually tested vs Quik Detailer and a Mother's brand quick detailer and the Pledge did as much harm as good for attracting dust. At least the quick detailers contain a tiny bit of carnuba.. the Pledge on the other hand.. ? Oil? On your paint finish? I tried it and gah, sorry I did. | ||
| Jeffrey Caspar (Jcaspar1)
Junior Member Username: Jcaspar1 Post Number: 74 Registered: 5-2002 |
It will be interesting to see how long the shine lasts. I think the big advantage of Zaino is that it's shine last for a long time. I believe that Pledge furniture wax is supposed to give the best shine (I've heard it used at some car shows) but attracts dirt and doesn't last. Then again if you have the time to wax every week, it really doesn't matter how long it lasts. PS Please tell me that heart flag isn't hanging out in front of your house. | ||

Tako, I`ve applied just one coating. And, I DID NOT first apply wax on just to see what it is like and took these pictures. Then after the photo shoot session, I put P21S wax on the left side of the hood while the right side was left un-waxed, just compare the difference. You know what? It was almost the same shine, gloss, and clarity. Maybe..just maybe a bit of wetness was enchanced with the wax, of which difference between those two was not obvious. �@When using the Zaino, the difference was more obvious and I could tell the dfference. But, this time, this CG, as you indicated, may not need a wax. Of course, I could be wrong about that. Anyway, I love this stuff, especially as it is as easy as washing a car. I would like to hear from others who might have tried it and will try it. Great product, Tako! Yoshi �@     | ||

Here is what my car looks like unless its right after it rains and I haven't made it back to the house to detail yet.  Its a metallic black (Anthracite), but I shine and polish so much, it has much more depth then factory fresh Anthracite. I can read a newspaper (small print, not headlines) held up several feet away. I can see individual hairs and pick out if one of them is grey (or white.. I'm 26 years old) from 2-3 feet away. When people post reflections of the sky, clouds, trees, nearby objects on a flat surface, I'm very unimpressed vs what I see everyday. My carnubas look better then Zaino, though not by too much, I'll apply it once every week or two. Who cares. I can check fluids, tire pressures, clean the undercarriage, wipe down the interior, its beyond an obsession. I wouldn't have to polish or reapply Zaino, but it isn't king of looks and you still have to wash the car after its rained. Driving, detailing, I enjoy them both equally. Now, if this is the "next level," at least its not triple digits to test the product. Sunny | ||

I welcome any criticism and skeptical comments about my previous post about the Crystal Guard. As said in the previous post, I want you all know that I tried it on my car today. My car is 1985 Ferrari 308 GTS in metallic black, which I am very proud to say it is also my daily driver. So, it would be a perfect car to test drive this new product, everyone seems to have some problem scknowledging its superiority. I, for one, was somewhat skeptical before I saw the Tako`s beautifully detailed car collection. But, if you are or claim to be the obsessed detailers like I am proud to say I am, it would be important to keep open minded for any possibilities of unexpected encounters with any newer products with superior performance and quality as, after all, the polymer is nothing but formulations of chemicals and technologies keep evolving. Having said, my personal assessment of this new product called Crystal Guard, after applying it on my 18 year old car, has not changed a bit from my first impression I had shared with you all yesterday. The first thing you will definitely have a `problem` using this product is in believing how easy it is to apply. First, you apply a washing liquid, which is supposed to gentley apply it with a wet microfiber towel (also provided by Tako`s company and much much finer than the PakShak MF`s) while your car is hosed down. It is supposed to remove all grease elements such old wax, etc. So, it is considered as a prepping stage. A next step is to spray this glass polymer over the paint while the car is still wet again with the MF cloth. Then, hose it down and wipe off. I should have taken the didital photos and posted here to show you the `glass` shine. It is certainly different from the shines and clarity KLASSE gives out but somewhat close to those of Zaino. But, it gives out the type of glittering and shines only you can expect from a `glass`. And, just one coat of CG (Crystal Guard) seems to mimic the effects of a mutiple coats of the Zaino. To make a long story short, I love it! I could not believe how easy it was. And, I was amazed with the `sharpness` and `clarity`of shine and depth. I normally apply S100 on top of Zaino to get the gloss and depth of wetness, but I decided not to apply S100 today because I wanted to see it again after it is cured somewhat. Of course, the kit sample I use do not contain any abrassive/polish. I cannot speak for its longevity yet. As for pricing, I will let Tako provide these because I was only told the basic kit is about $49, which most of us feels more than a bit pricey. But, with that ease-of-use and the glass-like sharp and keen shines and clarity,�@it could be well justifiable........ It is definitely worth trying!! Trust me! | ||

Oh, and I might add, I think I just blew up the transmission or damaged it tonight on the '76 XJ12 after a 90mph jaunt. Doesn't slip, doesn't grind, but there's a bad noise coming from the driveline and its not engine related that I can tell. Its either the tranny or something else. I heard a loud BANG! after I was coasting to slow down from 90mph without being on the accelerator. Fluids, temp, everything checks fine. Even changes gears as normal with no vibration but a single mild thunk as these gearboxes were designed to do... hmmm. My '74 is well up to the task, but this '76 was a fair deal and I was waiting to see if it would lemon up on me. Guess it did. | ||

Hey now, Ken. Be careful.. this owner drives 9 miles one way to work (now thats reduced to 3 as of tonight actually), 5 days a week. But, I put around 1,500-1,700 miles, sometimes as much as 2,000 per month on my '97 and another 250-500 per month on one of the XJ12's. I have lovely road rash along my front wheel arches on my '97, and my whole front end where its paint on metal has rash or chips and I don't bother touching them up. Also, I have a scrape on all four corners from me driving without sleeping and I scraped when I backed out, one a blue trashcan (big metal variety) rolled into my front right corner, and two women hit one rear corner each. Coming back from Alamogordo by way of Phoenix, I picked up a large rock that took a half a pinky nail sized chip out of my trunk as it went up and over. I leave it there as a reminder. Just because I detail once week doesn't mean I don't redline or drive the snot out of my cars. I just like them to look their best all the time, with the driven scars. In fact, two people trying to drive their cars like I do mine ended up with multiple thousands in repairs since they weren't use to being driven hard. A friend drove my car (I forced him to) again for a few hundred miles (I was driving another Jag) and he hates my car, with a passion. He said, your car really likes to be driven hard and I just smiled knowingly. And its a friggin 4.0L straight six pushing 4,200 (including me at 150lbs) down the road. But I drive it like a sports car. When I buy my 355 Spider in a year or two, its getting a mandatory 7,500 miles a year if not closer to 10k. And I still plan to drive my other cars too. Sunny | ||

There's only 2 ways of removing Zaino, one involves sanding, the other is not much better....dishwashing liquid does NOT take it off, just FYI. -Ben P.S. at CI-01 when I had my TR there, it was far and away in the top 10 shiny-est cars there, the top detailers that worked the show (incl. the Pearl Yellow Zonda) all came by to compliment and ask about it (it's not cyrstal guard either).

Before and after pictures, please! I use two of the best carnubas every other week because they edge out Zaino in looks. Every day is a show day to me. Thats my #1 priority. If it does in fact beat Zaino in apperance, I would consider a switch. But, the finish better be perfect (unbelievable prep work) for Crystal Guard, because once you put this stuff on, you don't want to have to remove it, no matter how easy or difficult! | ||

Hi Guys! I`ve just got to share with you what I just saw, of which magnitude of my shock was the best to be described as `Close Encounters of the Thrid Kind`. I have been a big fan and a faithful user of Zaino Bros for years when it comes to detailing my pride and joy......MAYBE......COULD BE....UNTIL.....I have just eye-witnessed the AMAZING mirror like deep wet look ad\nd reflection of CRYSTAL GUARD! I had been hearing about such productin Japan,which is well famous for a new super glass polymer combines glass and fluorine fibers. Its application is also said to be the easiest and requires the shortest time. This product has been just brought to the US market for the very first time and the man behind all this is TAKO (a great guy and FerrariChat member). When he showed me personally his black Lamborghini Murcielago, California blue 360 Modena Spider, black Z350 and the amazing black Z8 with Crystal Guard, it was as if I was hit by a lightening. AMAZING STUFF!! Especially, the shines and depth of 3D effect was so noticeable from a distance and looked definitely much better and amazing than when it was new. Many of the loyal Zaino or Klasse users including myself do not want to hear this or admit that there is actually better polymer product out there...Well, I was! He gave me a sample to try out this weekend, and I cannot wait till I try it and see what it can do to my car. I have no bias towards this CRYSTAL GUARD or affiliation with TAKO or Crystal Guard, and I am just trying to stay neutral and objective. But, I highly recommend all of the FerrariChat folks to give this product a try to see for yourself. I guarantee you that it will blow your mind away if you see what I just saw! Here`s their website, http://www.crystalguard.com/ This well could be the ULTIMATE detailing product of the century!! Zaino, this is going to be tough to beat! This weekend could become my last day of my long lasted affectionate relationship with Zaino... I will report back to you with the result this weekend. |
