I'm toying with the idea of building a new home in the next year. Currently I'm just looking at getting a lot that I like with some room to work. The one I've got my eye on is 84 feet wide so I am trying to figure out how I can fit a fourstall total garage into this thing. My current house is...

I just purchased a mitsubishi evo that is black. The previous owner told me that the dealer before shipping the car to him did some sort of treatment to the exterior similar to what i think some detail shops do. Kinda like a long term "you shouldn't have to wax for a year" sort of thing...

I've had my Zaino Z-2/Z-5 for about a year now and notice some separation going on with the two products. I'm curious how many others get this and if you think it affects them at all performancewise? If you shake them it all comes back togather but a while later and they're separating again...

hey all, now that it's getting cold up here in michigan i am starting to close the garage door and turn on a propane heater when i wash and detail my car. I try to get the garage toasty warm before i start washing so the car's panels are freezing cold and then i use warm water when i wash so...

hey all, i just got the entire front of my car repainted after buying a new facia for it and i remember some talk of waiting a certain ammount of time before you can put zaino on it because of the aftermarket repaint. Anyone have some info on this subject? the rest of my car is zaino'd and i...

I recall seeing a video this week online here of a guy from cma (i think) using a porter cable to apply 3M swirl mark remover. My jetta has a mess of scratches in it i would like to get out and i'm thinking that by getting a pc and using smr with it i might see some results. my question is...

what do you guys do if you just finished washing and detailing your car and you go out for the night and come home and the entire front is caked with bugs? do you break down and wash the entire car again or do you use instant detailer and a microfiber and clean just the affected areas? I had...

I just got a 1990 300zx with black leather seats and it appears that the previous owner didn't do much to keep the seats in good shape. Now they feel kinda dried out and stiff, I have the lexol cleaner and conditioner and i'm wondering if using the conditioner frequently will restore the seats...

anyone here in the professional detailing area that has heard of the Car Brite line of products? I went to an automotive detailing supply store in my hometown a day ago and that was about all they carried. i did see an awesome deal on clay though, it was two of the biggest bars i've ever seen...

what product(s) should i use on my car to get rid of swirls and small scratches before i do a full zaino treatment and stick to it? i'm about ready to break down and get a pc to do this. plus what pads do i wanna go with the pc that i could source locally? evidently i think i want something...

ok, i just purchased a 1990 nissan 300zx (platinum mist - aka silver) from a guy who stored it every winter and garaged it whenever it was parked. It's in awesome shape but he has some minor scratches there and a few really deep ones where i'm thinking his kid's bike fell or something like...

Ok, i just want to get some clarification on this. Someone pm'd me and said that when applying Z that i didn't have to wait 8 hours inbetween coats, just that i could apply a coat, let dry, buff off and repeat right away and that i can do that up to three times in a 24 hour period. Is that...

Ok, i just got done putting my first coat of Z-2 on my car after doing three coats of Z-5 (with ZFX) this weekend. I did not use ZFX with Z-2 which i hope was ok. Was it? But my big concern came when i started cleaning out my viking foam applicator. As i was cleaning it with Dawn, i started...

Can someone explain to me what products you might use to actually clean the inside of your car before you treat it with a dressing like say 303? In all my reading on here I only see 303 mentioned as a protectant and no one ever mentions what to clean the rubber or vinyl with before applying it.
