Two coats of Rejex and then compare..
Plus if a bird happens to zero in on the hood and it sits for any time you will have a stain, where with Rejex, its a simple wipe off..

For all you folks that praise the sealants and protectants for shine purpose (even though majority sit in the garage).
I'm leaning towards quality of paint out weighs the quality of polish.
These are blue dawn, air dry, nothing but net.......

Both cars look great. I am detecting some kind of filter over your lens that is softening the pictures....what kind of filter is that?
also: I didn't believe it till I tried it, but Zaino Z-2 starts to really look good after 3-5 very light coats. Sounds obsessive, and maybe it is, but it works....the shine is unlike any other.

I only polis hgmy car only a few times a year but its usually only out on nice days. Generally I will spray detail before and after each use. By doing this i rarely have to even wash my cars unless the are caught in the rain.
There are a lot of good polishes out there and imo its really just personally preference. I tried the whole Zaino package once and i honestly wasn't that impressed. Yeah its a good product but I couldn't tell a difference between that and the other professional line of products I use. Zaino is also such a long process.
I agree, quality of paint has a lot to do with it. The paint quality on the corvettes is ehhhhh at best. The clear is very soft and scratches very easily. It also has a ton of orange peel in it. My father even commented about the orange peel the other day while he had the car saying that for a corvette he would have thought the paint quality would have been a little better.
A winter project for me might be to wet sand the car and buff the car but I don't think I want to take a chance of burning though the existing clear.
