It is nice to know there are others out there that really appreciate a "glass" finish! One word ... Zaino. I have tried them all and hands down the Zaino system is the best. Just be patient with how you prep and apply it, and you will have a very durable and deep shine that looks awesome. I am on my second round of Zaino bottles and I swear it looks better each time. BTW, the secret to the system is use good applicators and towels..once Zaino cures it protects the clear coat.
Check out my profile for a pic.
Later.
Good Hunting.
