Tom,
Where do you buy Vitreo? How is the durability?

I love how Meguiar's Show Car Glaze followed by two coats of Pinnacle
puts an incredible gloss to my paint, but the durability isn't very good-
I probably have to wax every other month (at least) with the car parked
outside all the time.

Meguiar's High-Tech Yellow is much better in durability but doesn't put
the shine on like Pinnacle.

3M Imperial Hand Glaze followed by 3M wax is pretty good, but the shine
isn't as good as with Pinnacle. As I have only used this combination once,
I don't know what the durability will be yet.

I think that the glaze/polish coat before the final wax is crucial in
getting a good shine from your car.

BTW, I hate cleaner waxes- last time I used the stuff, it streaked the
heck out of my car. Never again on a black car- I'll use clay to get
the really nasty stuff out of the paint and then follow up with glaze and
wax.

I really should try Blitz, as it's local to me and people on Audiworld swear
by it for their S4tts.

Taka
