Default Liquid Lustre?

Has anyone used the product Liquid Lustre on there Vettes?
I bought one of the bottles at a car show. Its a pink bottle, it says carnubu
wax. Just wondering if it was ok to use on a Corvette. I dont want to use a product that takes off to much paint. Anyone used Liquid Lustre?

Yo, Vinnie! Did you strip off the old wax with Dove before applying Zaino? I have the stuff, but need to touch up some ugly paint chips before I use it. I have never heard anyone say anything about it but I am concerned that the touch-up paint won't adhere over the Zaino finish. Anybody have any experience with this?

Dove wash
clay bar
zaino show wash
5 coats of the swirl , can remember if z2 or z5
3 coats of final zaino
inbetween each coat of all, used the spray detail....

Carnubu wax (I remember it being spelt differently) is a natural product and shouldn't contain any cutting compound. This wax is safe to use on metalic paint, fiberglass and clear coats.

You will need to finish your touch-ups before applying this product as paint will not adhere to the waxed surface or use a professional quality grease and wax remover before touch-up then reapply your carnubu wax.
