oooh quebec, thats far from here
but ill ask them abotu shipping rate
for best and longest lasting shine
without using a porter cable
would u recommend Klasse AIO + SG
or 845 or 476?
right now im only using Mothers Carnauba cleaner wax as an AIO
and if the car feels clean enuf after a wash, i usually just use Turtle Wax Platinum Carnauba paste
if i get any of those, should i also get polish and stuff?
i know this sounds cheap and unenthusiastic but i dont want to spend too much money nor time and still want a good long lasting protection and shine
if its not too much to ask

Nope, it's just a paste wax. Get a foam applicator, get it kind of damp, rub it in the wax then apply a very thin layer to the car. Wait for it to haze, remove, profit.

thanx for the link
i live in burnaby so i think ill get local pickup from carecaresmart.com
looks like Merzerna FMJ is out of stock and is so expensive
im sold on Klasse though
since i can get it locally and its so easy to apply
my GS300 is millenium silver btw
and i havent found any swirls yet although i have seen a few light scratches on the bonnet
oh and the main problem for me right now is water spots after driving on the hwy in rain
the water spots like to form around the rear spoiler/trunk area and especially the rear of the car since there are no wind there when driving to make the water slide off the car
ill try out the klasse twins and see how it goes
$60 CAD for klasse twin concours kit
seems ok

Big
to Collinite!Been using it for years and I agree after 5 or 6 months its still going strong. Haven't seen it mentioned alot here at CL in my short time here, but I like the results and would recommend it.
I've always used, and recommend, with much success the 885 which is labeled for Boat's and Aircraft. Best part is that around here all the better marine stores carry it.

Lol I cross the lines here...
Zaino on my GS only. It lasts but the car is driven sparsely and is garaged. Product selected more for shine than for durability
NXT on my LS. Car sits outside, is our beater. When NXT came out a couple of years ago my detailer wanted to use the LS as a test subject and it has impressive durability not only for beading but for shine and when car is driven through (gasp) touchless car washes to remove pollen, etc.
Collinite on my boat - Searay 240SD. Same detailer that does my cars does my boat and recommended last season we shift away from Klasse to Collinite and I was impressed how durable it was. The Klasse didn't last all season but the Collinite did.
