What wax/polish do you use on your Ferarri?

Do a search, I can't tell you how many threads there are talking about this subject. To answer you though, I used Mother's.

 

You don't just buy car wax anymore; everything is a car polishing system.

I've always wanted to try Zaino but it is over $100 for the complete "system" and I just haven't had the guts to plunk down the money when there are so many other products out there for $20. The last one I used was the Mother's California Gold. I wrote this review on another forum:

"OK, so I have a 25 year-old Ferrari. It has been repainted but I have no idea when. The paint is "OK", not "perfect". The problem I have had is all the swirls and micro-scratches that are common to a solid color. (The stuff that people with metallic finishes never have to worry about but anyone with a black car knows exactly where I am coming from.) So I have tried all the magic snake oils that will make my car look new in one easy step. None of them work. Sure they shine, but it just isn't "right".

So I tried this Mother's California Gold Ultimate Wax System which comprises of 3 steps. #1 is a pre-wax cleaner to remove oxidation, #2 is a sealer and glaze to hide swirl marks, and #3 is a pure carnauba wax (whatever the hell that means). I used an orbital buffer on the first 2 steps and applied the wax by hand.

It took me about 5 hours to complete the process on my 308, was it worth it? Well I think so. It did minimize the appearance of the micro-scratches on my car. Did it make them go away? No.

To the average person my car has a mile deep shine. To me it is not completely right. Is it better than the one-step cleaner-wax? Yes. Would I recommend it? Yes, but be prepared for work, you have to go around the car 3 times instead of once.

Bottom-line: It cost me $20 and 5 hours labor but my car does look better than when I started."

Hope this helps you agentf1.

 

Oh yeah, here's a pic of the result.
