See pictures of my nano-waxed DSOM Vertible with Z51.

Notice how the Z51 features really stand out after it's been waxed

No really - I used bucket free wash, micro-fiber-towel-wrap'd-sponge and clean running watter - for a shocking experience!

After cleaning I used some kind of animal skin thingy (aka chamois) to wipe her dry. Then, I used a very thin film of EagleOne NanoWax - anything thicker would have had Mr. Miagi doing

Attached are the final pictures of her - didn't have much sun - but went high and long to find this spot. We had an irish sunset of sorts...

I also use EagleOne tire shine, aluminum wheel cleaner and wipe-shine

So far I'm pretty happy with their products...

Sorry but Eagle one tire shine splatters all over the wheels wells. The best shine with NO splatter is F21 use to be called Formula 2001 in the green bottle. Caution to all. If its a clear tire shine it's gonna splatter all over your Vette. I have tried them all.

Good point - which is why I use this...

Tire Wipes

I haven't sprayed it on since the first day - noticed the splatter effect so I used the spray-wipe, then wipe on the tire. Plus it gives me that greazy under the fingernails I've been working hard look. Overall, I still prefer the tireshiner'

I always apply any tire shine with those Yellow applicaters.
Good point.

Zaino tire gloss by far...and it lasts and lasts thru washings so you dont have to put it on after every wash!
