    A local detail shop will wax my car, but uses something called ASTRO SHIELD, Worlds Finest Auto Polish. Also STS 2000 and Clear Coat Glaze-08.

    All of it looks like it came from RONCO on late night tv. Anyone ever hear of this stuff, and any suggestions?

    Never heard of it. Do a search and you'll find plenty of stuff regarding detailing. I personally use Mother's carnauba wax and the rest of the 3 stage system. Feels and looks like glass.

    I have never heard of this product either. Everyone has their own opinions on waxes, and there are plenty of good products out there. If you beleive in this shop, go for it and please let us know how it turns out.

    Just make sure it doesn't interfere with the FLOORMATS.

    You cant beat the Klasse twins (All in One, and Sealant Glaze) and then topping it off with some S100. By far the best combo in terms of shine, and it will last for months on end, even if driven daily.

    I have used Mother's, Klasse, Zymol, Zaino, NXT and other lesses known parts store brands and none of those compare to the deep shine you get from Swissol Scuderia. www.swissol.com

    I can't believe I'm so late to this thread that I missed the opportunity to throw in the floormats and license plate frames! Foiled by Bruce and Bob. :(

    I used AstroShield probably 15-20 yrs ago on my 911. I was always very pleased with the product. Ordered from an advertiser in Porsche Panorama magazine...
