Sorry for the generalized question, I've been out of the detailing world for over a year or so - been using Zaino all that time and I am ready to change to something just as good, but easier to apply? Hit me :biggrin:

It was only $14, so I figured I'll give it a try - any experiences out there? I know the container is small, my back-up is the foam cannon from AG.

sorry my mistake :crazy:

Got this from my dealer for cheap - looks good, but is it safe for my tinted windows?

I see these terms used interchangeably regarding microfiber towels especially the ones by Cobra, is it the same thing or is there a difference?

This product looks very interesting and I am tempted to order it- worth it or not for $35 for a very small 50ml? Or should I just stick with using Zaino CS and Z-8 or similar on my wheels?

This website still considered a valid resource or is it outdated? Car Wax Test, Glass Cleaner Test, Wheel Tire Care Cleaner Test

it was taken about 7pm with overcast after the storms, it's my Black Sapphire Metallic BMW. whatever wax the dealer used, it left white residue in a lot of the cracks and cervices. ext: dawn, Z18 clay, bmw shampoo aka sonax, ZAIO, Z6, Z5 w/ZFX, Z6, Z2 w/ZFX, Z6 and Z8 - I used ZCS and Z-8 on...

Maybe it's just me, but I have a hard time believing that it won't scratch or swirl paint finish during a wash - it just feels rough to my hands, even the expensive Montana brand :help:

Mine will be my new '09 BMW 335 M-Sport that I picked up yesterday after 44 days of waiting, it's Black Sapphire Metallic :woot2: - my dealer decided to give a couple of free buffer marks, very minor but still a hassle. I'm going with the whole Zaino process. Dawn wash to remove their junk...

I was looking to get some Meg's Gold Class, but I read on the label that it has conditioners in it. Can it affect the bonding/durability of my next application of a sealant like Z2/Z5, Klasse SG etc?

Do you use the 1 or 2 wash bucket method or a foaming attachment? I am thinking about getting the Foamaster II - looks promising :think2

I detailed the Volvo yesterday and the BMW today using the steps: Z18, ZAIO, Z5 w/zfx, Z2 w/zfx, ZCS and Z8 - using Z6 between each layer. I will say it looks on par with the Klasse twins, all the Zaino steps is kind of tiring for my fingers :laugh: I'm just a weekend warrior, not where on...

Zaino tech support is closed because they are at a car show, so I will ask the hive minds here instead :getdown Since I forgot to use Z-FX with my Z-5 polish, do I really need to wait 24 hours or so, what happens if i don't? Lastly, can I just go ahead with Z-6 ultra clean or again, do i...

I searched, but the threads are old and outdated. What do you use and recommend? Is it worth it, the sidekick has warm filtered air. I found two, the metro blaster sidekick and chemical guys jet speed air blower.
