Um...it's not. That simple. Part of the reason the spartanburg cars'

Oh, and if you don't believe me, it's simple to fact check. Go to a
body shop that does a good bit of german car repainting. Ask them if
they use the original Glasurit, then ask them why they don't.

Sorry about the multi-post. Google groups thing is wierd on the college
isp.

You need to hang out in the detailing sections of the various BMW
enthusiast sites. ;-) Both Zaino and Klass are very highly rated (for
polymer sealants). Although, as far as I remember, they're pretty much
the only two polymer sealants talked about (I'm sure there are others,
but the majority of polymer talk seems to revolve around these two
brands).

And, if you're really hardcore, you'll put a P21S/S100 (or similar)
topper on top of the Klass or Zaino. ;-)

I agree about NuFinish. I'd be very surprised if it even came
close to Zaino or Klass.

Would that be the Mercedes with the perenially broken climate control, or the
BMW with the leaky head gasket? I'm old enough to remember both...

Or the mid-to-late '70's Bimmers that all had faded paint, especially on the
hoods?

There are dozens of products like this, from many wax companies. At the same
price point they're all about the same.

Some say a German brand of wax/polish is better for a German car, because it's
formulated for German paint. From personal experience this was true back in the
80s -- I had better luck with Bolit and P21s products on my E30 cars. But I
think this is a lot less true than it used to be. Paints have become more
alike, and so have the waxes/polishes. American wax/polish companies go to
great lengths to make their products work on all finishes. It's a very
competitive industry. A Mother's or Maguiar's product is probably just as good
as as similarly priced P21s, etc. As with many things, you don't always get
what you pay for, but you almost never get what you don't pay for.

Hehe, Klasse was the only one I was thinking about when I said "almost
every other polymer product" I don't know what it is about those two. I
always do, for a car I wanted to look good and not necessarily have the
wax last long, P21S gloss enhancing paintwork cleanser (0, 1, or 2
coats, depending on paint) and P21S wax (1 or 2 coats depending on
paint).
