Looks great Fluid. I used Zaino a year ago. Good stuff, but Glare was easier to apply and reflective properties more mirror like. Here is a shot I took today of the rear. Note the building.

That does look very good. I like how Zaino comes off easy with no/low residue so if you say Glare is easier then I need to try it out. The one drawback about Zaino is the layering - I heard it gets better with extra layers thus would apply ~ 3 when I really wanted that fantastic look. But that takes time. Is Glare a 1-step process? BTW, absolutely love the blue color of your CT - complements the design very, very well.

Glare is a two step process. First you wash the car with Dawn (yikes!) dishwasher detergent to remove old wax.

Then on first step with orbiter polisher $19 at harbor freight. This step leaves a slight haze that easily comes off. With this step, the Glare polish actually becomes part of the paint through molecular adhesion. And it looks fantastic. Only way I can describe is you car's shine is in HD.

Step two: Wait about 3 hours and apply second coat by hand like any other wax to protect first application.

Did Son In Laws Honda last week...

SEMA auto shows use this stuff on their cars, and you have seen the way those shine!
