    Thanks Barry. I think you will really like the Matrix Coating. Glad to see Pennsylvania's finest detailer here on the board. ;)


    No optimum, but if you like their spray wax, you will LOVE Dodo Juice Tropical Mist, probably the best spray wax we have ever used.

    hi John,
    thanks very much for your time on a very important subject.
    I have never waxed my ferrari, i always leave to the professionals because I really don't know what to do, I know the basics, all I ever do is wash it and chamois dry, but if i ended up with swirl marks etc I would panic.
    John my car is blue scuro quite dark, what wax would you recommend? cloths? motorised buffing tool yes/no? I know everyone who particiaptes on this site wants to present their car the way a ferrari should be presented so any helpful tips would be greatly appreciated,
    regards rddvl

    Hi rddvl,

    I love when enthusiastic owners like yourself, learn the process, and keep their fcar looking it's very best. A dark blue color will need constant "minor" attention and it will stay looking beautiful. First off, a proper paint deep cleaning must be performed using a high quality Clay Bar You should have no fear about putting our Cyclo Polisher on your precious vehicle's paintwork. Utilizing two much smaller pads, opposed to one large pad, this random orbital polisher can be worked into all the nooks and crannies on your car for a perfect shine. There is also no guessing how fast you should be going, simply work at your own pace, and with a toggle on/off switch, you're not messing around with high speeds, and low speeds. Put down some polish, and start working into the paint. Our 4" CCS Polishing Pads can be used in conjunction with Menzerna polishes for a professional finish right at home. Although a synthetic paint sealant will give great durabilty and protection, a high quality carnauba wax like Dodo Juice Blue Velvet and Dodo Juice Lime Prime Lite will create a very warm and deep shine on your blue scuro Ferrari. I prefer a using a high quality 3M Microfiber towel, as cheaper towels can leave scratches, and micromarring on your finish.

    This may seem excessive to some, but after a good paint correction and wax, your finish will stay cleaner, healthier, and shinier for months to come. Not to mention, this is some of the best bonding time you will have with your car. ;)

    Anyone know what happened to Deep Finish? Their phone was not in service.

    I was satified with their Swax but maybe need to find an alternative soon.

    If you liked the Swax, I think you will LOVE Dodo Juice Supernatural. It is not only super easy to apply, and buff out, but Dodo's Lime Prime is much easier to use as a pre wax cleaner than other products.

    John,

    I will look into these. But my first question still remains: Is Deep Finish still "around"?
