    Rupes Medium Gel Polish

    I have the Rupes Ultra Fine, and it is great with very little dust and good work time. Given the excellent results and the need for a polish with more cut, I tried the Rupes Medium Gel Polish. However, the results with the medium was poor; short work time and plenty of dust. It was delivered...

One of the items was a 6 pack of Super Plush towels, but I received Gold Plush towels instead. I called customer service and explained the situation, and without...

    Meguiar's #21 & #81 - Trade -

    I'd like to trade a 32 oz #81 or a 64 oz #21 (original formula) for a new 16 oz bottle of the new #21. Both the the #81 and #21 I have are approximately 7/8 full. I would also like to try JW prime strong. Any takers? Thanks!

    New Paint Care

    How long should the paint cure before applying a sealant like AJT? I've been told to wait anywhere from 30-90 days, but I really think this timeframe does not apply for a modern bc/cc paint system.

    1Z Metallic Polish

    I have two one liter containers of the 1Z Metallic Polish, both unused until now, and the contents are extremely thick. So thick that it cannot be poured from the container. I've tried shaking for 5-10 minutes and there is no improvement. Can I cut it with a solvent or should I simply dispose...

    1Z MP and Zaino

    Can 1Z MP Pro be used before Zaino without a wash in between? I'm not sure if 1Z MP Pro leaves anything behind or if what it does leave is detrimental to Zaino.

    AIO Updates?

    Earlier in the year, there was a great deal of debate on possible formulation changes with AIO. If there was indeed a change, enough time has past that AIO users of the"new" and "old" product should now be able to speak from experience on cleaning ability, durability or other product...

    DF Towel ¿?

    I bought four DF Towels, and I have a few questions. Has the DF Concours towel changed materials recently? The packaging states that the material is a blend on cotton microfiber and Pima cotton, while previous posts here indicate that the DF towel is all-natural cellulose micro fiber spun...

    FPII Application

    What is the proper technique for using FPII? I bought a bottle and use it today with poor results. It didn't do much for the minor swirls and removing the residue was far more difficult than removing a thick cote of KSG. I use a PC with a polishing pad, with the polish applied to the pad in two...

    Z-5 without ZFX

    Is ZFX required for Z-5 to bond, or will durability be severely compromised without the use of ZFX? I just tried Z-5 without ZFX or Z-1 and it dried quickly. It was ready to buff when I checked in 15 minutes. I'd appreciate the comments from anyone who uses Z-5 or Z-2 without Z-1 or ZFX...

    3M PI-III MG or Meguiar's #82

    I'm running low on 3M PI-III MG, and I'm trying to decide what to buy next. My local Carquest still has a supply of 3M PI-III MG, but when I asked for a friend's opinion he stated that 3M PI-III MG was too abrasive to use more than once and that I should go with Meguiar's #82. I've had good...
