glossiest lsp - 02-16-2010, 04:51 PM

just want to get some opinions on what is the most glossiest lsp or combo of lsp's you've ever used on a polished and prepped paint.

Ironically Kurt's answer is my go to 1-2 punch. I would also say that the slickness (feel) actually is a little less once the Natty's is applied but the appearance is enhanced. It's tough to be UPP when it comes to slick.

It is tough to beat UPP as far as slickness is concerned. It looks good as well. To bad there are so many different products to choose from.

When I used Klasse AIO followed by 4 Star UPP, I think that was the slickest and best looking combination I ever used.

Can't beat Natty's Blue on a nicely polished car IMO

Glossiest? I'd have to say Zaino Z2 Pro is very close to the top of the list. It is very wet/glossy looking.


I don't believe in grit guards.

I would agree Zaino is the king of gloss but to my eye it has a phony look as if the vehicle was covered with saran wrap.
I have not seen a vehicle with Zaino in a couple years and you can not really judge by a photo so has the formula changed in the last 24 months.

Regarding the formula change: While it does have a somewhat sterile look, which can be great if that's what you're after, I have noticed that on my vehicles compared to some older Zaino photos it does not seem to have that plastic look. Maybe it's my eyes or perception. I don't think with Z2 Pro, you'll get that warm carnauba glow. Z5 is a little more warm. But for reflectivity and gloss, Z2 Pro is a good choice. Then again, prep work makes a lot of difference. Wrap a turd in thousand dollar wax and it will still stink...

You got to remember you can dress JP up but you can't take him out in public.

I am going to try out that combo on my black Dodge truck when it warms up Klasse 4*UPP just purchased them both and have never used either of them. Glade to see those mentioned here.

From what I have used I like the NXT 2.0 simple yet effective.
