Reflective and depth, now that's where it's at.

and who would be glady willing to share with me the best producs they have used?? =D
1- compound brand?
2- machine glaze brand?
3- hand glaze/polish brand?
4- wax brand?
Very subjective, I can post what I like. Try posting this over in the detailing area and I'll be happy to chime in.

i do body/collision work and when i started i had to wet/sand and buff out cars allday long! i've tried many products and what not, but the jobs i do for dark color cars its reflective and has a good dep but no matter what i do to my car! the white just will never get as mirror shine as a dark color car no matter what! and i would like to know!!!!!!!! the best reflective shine someone got outta a white car! and the products used!

most of the time for wetsand, compound, and glaze the products i use are 3m
wax i've used mothers, and meguliars but, i want to try zymol out but i've heard that zymol doesn't last as long as meguliars -=T and since the winter months i've brung my car into car washes and i have light swirl marks over the paint now!! and im to lazy to compound and glaze again! i think a polish job and some good wax would be good

i've sprayed many coats of clear over and its just not the right dep! any painters can chime in on best deep clear! would be great!

Apparently this was a $12,000 detail job. Which granted, is not that surprising given the amount of work and the fact that they used $7,100 wax

Wait what? Not surprising given the amount of work involved? Seriously, Paul is an amazing detailer, but he does no more or less work than any "boutique" style detailer. As for Zymol Royale - lifetime refills, talk about paying for itself and then some.
