My dark blue Harley is just not ready for a polish, so I decided to do a very preliminary test on my metallic light brown jeep that is a year old and has never been polished. I tested three products:
1. Glare Spider followed by their pro polish.
2. MeGuiar's #7 polish, no waxing.
3. Zaino.
Results are as follows:
1. Daylight viewing: undetectable between any brand to naked eye.
2. Flourescent light: undetectable.
3. Slippery feel to finger: Glare is best.
4. Water beading: Glare is slightly better.
I really need to repeat these tests on dark paint, but the preliminary results show all three products have an excellent result and shine, but the Glare seems to be better to the touch and to water beading. I am most interested in doing the test again on dark paint, under flourescent light, and to include Harley Glaze, and to add the MeGuiar's Carnuba Wax after their polish. That is only fair to MeGuiars, since the other two products were given the "two step" process.
