    2004 Mach 1 Mustang

    Greetings...about 5 years ago I got the paint on my 2004 Mach 1 about perfect with using XMT products and finished with P21S wax for a few months, tried Zaino Z-2 for a few months, and most recently have been using Wolfgang 3.0 sealant on it. I have been happy with Wolfgang but wondering if there is something better for it. There are some minor clear scratches from cleaning, covering, etc. and I plan on correcting them with Menzerna SIP which I have been impressed with. I am really looking for ultimate finishing sealant or carnuba and looking for ultimate final look. What finishing product seems to work the best on Ford's paint and really brings out the shine? Car is garage queen and doesn't see rain so weather resistance isn't a big deal for me. Thanks in advance.

    To me ultimate sealants and ultimate looking carnubas are totally seperate sealants opticoat 2.0 carnubas... Fuzion.. I don't think I would top opticoat with anything more expensive than a signature series 2 just because its not going to last...

    I just completed my daily driver (2012 Chevy Impala, Black Granit Metallic) with a quick polish using Meg Ultimate Polish then seal it with WG sealant 3.0 followed by 3 coats of GG Best of Show wax. (Full correction was done in July and well maintained) I had to use the GG spray wax to reactivate the wax in order to remove it but what a shine. If you follow the GG instruction video you can’t go wrong.
    It's all in the details.

    I'd definitely give dodo juice banana armour a shot, pickup a panel pot if you're skeptical

    Menzerna SIP now call SI 1500 is a very good Medium Cut Polish. It finishes down nice enough for most people to go straight to wax. Some like to finish down a little more using either the SF 4000 or SF 4500

    Gloss starts first with a smooth surface...

    This is the definition of a high gloss finish!

    Re: 2004 Mach 1 Mustang

    I think the issue is the fact I haven't been finishing with a wax...just been using Wolfgang 3.0 and that is it. I have about half a jar of P21s remaining...should I try that first or is something like Dodo Juice or Signature Series 2 going to provide a better finish? Thanks for the helping a noob out.
