I had mine done last week with Swissvax not Daytona though.Couldn`t believe the result.The guy said I didn`t need any shampoo at wash time just a jet wash.I thought he was joking.He wasn`t.I jetted it and watched in disbelief as the dirt just ran off and the water left beautiful beads.Never used the wash bucket at all.

I would personally look towards a high polymer sealant rather than a wax. The flake in daytona can really be made to pop. Prep with something like prima amigo and top with either Zaino, Prima epic or blackfire products. The wetness and flake pop will amaze you

Cheers for the above Matt, I will give those a try. Decent price and easy to apply too.
Yes dude all the above. Just good reliable products. And being high polymer products, flake pop and wetness is guaranteed

I have always found the ''yellow'' round sponge pads great for this, used damp give a good cover. Polish off with the usual microfiber pad/cloth.

Any tips for hand application of the prima products Matt?
amigo is very forgiving. You could spoon it on and it will still buff off. But if you apply with a very soft mf applicator and rub in, then leave for 10 minutes or so before you buff off, it will looks great. top an hour or so later with a sealant of choice. Wet diamond or epic would be ideal

I like using Collinite 845. It is easy to apply and wipe off. The result really last a long time.
