Great info!!!

I have never used AutoSol, but I may have to try it.

For the paint finish, I am a Zaino user, nothing keeps my cars finish looking newer better, or protects longer.

Zaino also makes a glass polish, which works wonders on plastic lenses (outside and in, like gauge covers) and also removes minor pitting on windshields and other glass, restoring like new crystal clear finish.

Always willing to try something new. Thanks!!

I talked with another Monte SS owner at a car show a few weeks back. He said there is a product called Race Glaze that restores the plastic lights. He said it can be found on the internet and it works great. His tails looked brand new after he used it.

Dad's used the 3m stuff for years on cars when he was a used car dealer. Might try that Zaino's stuff...a lot of people seem to like it!

Dont use Race Glaze on a dark car it streaks like crazy (its actually for paint) and it makes some mess on Black.
