Check out www.carcareonline. I talked to the guy at the company. He claims there are certain waxes that will cloud european finishes. He also said that there is a trade off between ultimate shine and longevity.

He recommended 3m hand glaze followed by p21s polish and two - three coats of one grand blitz (Caranuba) wax.

I've been very happy with the results. He also said that the blue zymol is a turtle wax formulation, not the same as the other waxes in the zymol line. He claimed that zymol carbon was the ultimate shine, but it doesn't last very long. The blitz wax lasts several months, and according to him, yields 95% of the shine.



My car is kept garaged and covered with good quality cover. I still get a cloudy film on my paint and I cant seem to keep the car looking like it has a high gloss or good wax job.

I have tried Zymol blue stuff, Meguires paste wax.

What do you use that goes on and stays looking good?

Regards
