Howdy, It's been a couple of years since I've done the whole clay bar, tape off, and yellow/orange pad with 3M rubbing compound and/or Menzerna Intensive Polish. Followed with Final Polish and 5 coats of Zaino. I have a black Dodge Dakota and although I'm pretty careful washing it... some...

So I've always used 100% cotton towels made in the US per the Zaino recommendation. Sadly I can't find towels made in the US anywhere. I see lots of microfiber wash mitts but they're made in Korea or China, and don't have much scrubbing power. Anyone have a decent towel to recommend for...

I ordered a bunch of towels 5 weeks ago. Haven't seen or heard anything. Anyone else have a similar experience ordering from DF Concours? I've emails 4 times and left a message. No response. I've already been billed and paid my credit card, but I'm about to dispute the charges. I can...

I've only used the concave constant pressure Lake Country pads. I've found sometimes the polish stays in the concaved center. You really have to push down to get it out (or put it on the outside of course). I'm thinking a flat pad might be better. Any thoughts on flat pads vs. constant...

So I practiced all last weekend on my old 89 blue Ranger, and concluded the PC was pretty harmless. I practiced with Menzerna Intesive Polish, Final Polish II, and 3M Perfect-It II SMR. So I try the FPII first with a white pad, and it did remove the water spots I was having trouble with -...

So I had some bad water spots that nothing non-abrasive was removing (tried clay, cleaning waxes, etc. - ZPC worked but left haze). Told this guy at work with a dark blue Viper, to see if he had any ideas, and he said Windex. He said all the guys at the car shows use it. So I tried it and low...

So I'm looking at Megs Scratch-X wondering why someone wouldn't just use this all the time and eventually polish off their clearcoat? A lot of other cleaners, scratch removers don't seem to say if they are abrasive or not. Sure I know most of them, but in the day of lawsuits I'm kind of...

Hi, Looking for a great detailer in the Mill Creek area (South Everett, Lynnwood, etc.). Have a black car that needs a little help Thanks! :spot

I have a black Dakota, and am finding that I get a ton of little scratches, water spots, etc. that only come out with Zaino Z-PC Fusion or Meguirs Sractch-X. Both abrasive. I always try clay first, but for my latest challenge (water spots), Z-PC is the only thing that seems to work. I need...

So I used a Zaino clay bar on my black Dakota about 5 monts ago and it worked great. On my other cars too. Then yesterday I use it and it left a real hazy spot that I had to use ZPC/Scratch X to get out. Anyone seen this before? I used Zaino wash with water as a lubricant. I wonder if I...

Howdy, About 2 months ago I bought an ARE LSXII tonneau cover for my 2005 black Dodge Dakota quad cab. It's really cool. The problem is, when they installed it, one of the "kids" had greasy hands and left finger prints on it. They didn't wash out. I took it back and they had the same guy...
