Not sure what color your Vette is but my attempts to use Klass on my mag red ended up with a white haze. This happened twice and required stripping the wax both times. After reading similar experiences by others on Autopia I gave up on Klass for my red car. On some colors it works great, so I'm told.
Although Mothers Reflections is my preferred wax, Liquid Glass has been a main stay on my car beauty aids shelf longer than any other wax. I is so pure I have mixed it with other waxes when durability is an issue. I have not tried a combination of Liquid Glass and Mothers Reflections but I would bet you would love it! Great sun protection for CA and AZ!
I have tried virtually every polish / wax on the market including "Finish First" made by "Liqui-Tech". It is a good product, but I find Zaino to be far superior for shine and durability.
However, I use the window cleaner "Window Finish" made by "Liqui-Tech" and find it to be excellent, particularly for the inside of the windows. The product is more of a glass polish than a cleaner.
I'm not sure its the same stuff, but I used Finish First on an Iroc I had back in the early 90s. I was pretty happy with it.......it gave a decent shine, but damn that was the dustiest crap in the world during removal.
I've used Finish First for several years now and haven't yet found a product that's easier to apply/wipe that shines and protects as well. An old Corvette guy turned me on to it years ago, I even use it on my windshield, much better than RainX........
Zaino doesn't have cleaners in it.
Finish First, Liquid Glass and others have cleaners to remove road grime, fallout, etc.
If I Zaino'd, I'd have to use a separate cleaner.
I used it years ago, it was easy on and off. It did require/suggest a cleaner. It is called finish prep precleaner, I have a bottle right here. It was part of a kit with both products https://finishfirstpolish.com/produc...o-pre-cleaner/
Been using it on cars,trucks and motorcycles for years. I like that it can stay on the surface for as long as you like. I put it on my bikes in the winter and take my time removing, which may take a week or 2. When I go on vacation I would wash and apply to my wife's car and let it sit in garage while on vacation. It will not stain plastics or rubber either .
Just curious, but why "other than Zaino". Everything you seem to be wanting from a product, is what Zaino provides.
Ya this baffles me, as a pro detailer that has tried almost every product on the planet, most companies beating my door down to use their products due to my reputation. You can't beat Zaino for shine and durability. Everybody has their favorite, and I get that. I built a 7 figure detailing business with Zaino and had more show car winners that you can count, in fact several of my customers were asked to no longer compete because they always won, Zaino was the product that made that happen.It also took buffing skill to get the perfect finish, no question but no other product brought out the essence of the paint like Zaino. As a pro detailer and a major geek when it came to car polish/wax, I could walk down a line of Corvettes and tell you what product they used and be 75% correct..
Keep in mind I experimented with all the Zaino products and found combinations of Z-2, Z-5 AIO and Clear Seal..that made customer cars look extraordinary. Based on MFR and paint type. Metallics got one combination, solids another for example but I also had different combinations for each MFR and that was just the exteriors, the interiors were made to look like new again.
I see ads on TV that say they took First Finish through 50+ car washes, and it still beaded up that is total BS, there is not a product on the planet that will go thought 50 car washes using brushes like they showed and still be there, even ceramics will get beaten down. At best that crap is gone after the first wash with brushes like that
So having said all of that Zaino wins for simplicity but Feynlabs Ceramic Light wins for the best home ceramic application.
I too have used Finish First since 2004 on my Harley, Very happy with the product. On my new 95 corvette I got caught up in the Chemical Guys’s products and have been very happy. I will continue to use both.
Thanks
