    i have been in contact with both manufacturers. each of them recommended one of their products fro my show 300c.



    dodo recommended orange crush and thedetaildude recommended his velvet wax.. anyone have experience with either product? the reasons why those 2 were suggested is because my car has orange with gold pearl over it on top and the bottom is white with white pearl and they said that these products will make the pearl glow the best.. what can you guys tell me about these products?

    Why did you narrow it down to those two? What are you doing to prep your paint before applying? That will make a bigger difference. I`ve had more luck with sealants than waxes on metallics. Real waxes seem to mute the flakes. I`ve had some serious flake pop with DG.

    the car is getting ready to get wet sanded and polished to a glass smoothness, then its going to get a buildup of zaino and then topped with a good premium carnuba. these 2 were recommended by friends that have used them, then myself talking to people within the companies

    There might be a 5% difference between these two waxes. What will make the car look better is the skill of the detailer, and the time he/she takes. Products are a distant second.



    A studious and dedicated detailer with Mothers will outshine the hurried neophyte detailer with Zymol Estate.

    Take note of how it looks after the zaino and then after the carnauba. I`ll take experience and posts here before I believe someone that is trying to sell me a product. While I`m not a fan of zaino because I`ve had less than satisfactory results with its protection, I do know the look is going to get muted and dulled by whatever you put on top. Zaino looks great on its own.

    I have never seen a nuba increase the appearane of Zaino, I just don`t think they lay well on top of it...



    That said I have would say Dodo Juice because the Detail Dude`s products I tried where all far less then stellar.

    Why don`t you just admit that you can actually be wrong and spell that word correctly?



    I am trying to help you. How am I immature?

    You are immature because you feel the need to point out things that I do wrong. Of course I do things wrong like any human.



    Your history is not of somebody who has ever tried to help me but rather tries to point out my flaws. If I remember correctly from Pysch 101 that means that you have low self-esteem and are trying to make yourself feel better. Generally people with your condition subconsiously choose a target that they are feel inferior to...



    I must say I am flattered..

    Given only those 2 choices I would go with DoDo. That said I would also go with their SN.

    If it was my car, I`d either go all Zaino on the protection or all carnauba and use a good glaze like RMG. Just makes for an easier detail and maintenance if you go one route or the other.
