Default Something new

I have tried almost every wax/polish you can name. I used Zaino for a couple of years and really liked the shine, but not the fact it never filled in my swirl marks.

Than someone sent me a sample of this stuff http://www.wizardsproducts.com/ (shine master) I tried it on my wife's black car, it just shocked me it was that good, next I took my 98 coupe to a body shop to have Zaino taken off, I washed the car, and put on the shine master, the shine/gloss was better than Zaino, it goes on very easy, and also off, they say it has NO wax, and is body shop friendly, and OK to use on new paint, I have about 10 coats on, and people think I have a new paint job.
I know most here love their Zaino, but if you are looking for something different, that is also a polish, give these guys a chance, they will send you a free sample

I wonder if this is like Klasse which also has an acrylic base. Klasse gives an incredible shine and depth but after the 3rd coat I got the hazing which many people complain about with Klasse. Had to strip it and go back to Z. Keep us posted on the durability and your future use of Wizard.

Shine Master would have removed Zaino due to the fact that it contains abrasives, they are mild like 3M Scratch and Swirl Remover, but they are in there, it can not layer either because each coat cleans the previous one off, their detail spray is pretty good. Any product that removes scratches and swirls contains abrasives, the ones that cover or fill swirl marks do not. :)

First of all, I would like to make it very clear, I am not part of their company, I don't sell the stuff
I don't want to start a fight, but how do you know what is in this product. Have you used it? they told me they FILL swirls, I used 3M swirl remover and others, this product acts different, they are not abrasive, and can be used on fresh paint, and can be layered. I can see the differance with my own eyes, I know what wax looks like and Zaino, and almost everything else, I have never seen anything like Shine Master.

Toy, if your happy with the results they keep using it, but to answer your question yes I have a bottle of Shine Master and Mist N Shine, Shine Master is a glaze, and it does not say it will fill scratches, it says it can be used as a scratch and swirl remover, to remove scratches is something only an abrasive product can do. Here is what the company says about the product

Shine Master™
Polish & Breathable Sealant
Part No. 11033
16 oz, 12/CS

Easy On - Easy Off
Awesome Gloss
No Streaks or Smears
No Free Silicone or Wax
Excellent Cleaning/Tough Poly Acrylic Protection
Safe for Fresh Paints, Clear Coat and Lexan
Use as a Wax Replacement, Swirl Mark Remover, or Finishing (show) Glaze by Hand or Machine

It says no free silicone, not sure what they are trying to say because it seems like it has silicone in the product. My only concern it that owners know all the facts about the products they apply to their cars, I do not care what products they use, as long as they know what products are ok and not ok to use to keep their cars looking good for many years. :)
