I have very light tan seats in my TSX and my belt seems to have transfered some darker brown dye on the leather. I have tried everything I can think of, and it did lighten, but it is definitly not gone. I tried a spot remover, leather cleaner, and an eraser. The eraser worked best, but I...

I love the smell of Z-10 and have used it on a couple of my cars seats, with great results. Until now........ I recently bought a Lexus RX330 with black leather. I put Z-10 on it, and the next time I use the truck, I can see were my rear rubbed all the Z-10 off (well after it had dried)...

I used Zaino exclusivly the past two years. I love the way it never left any white residue anywhere and shined very nicely. I do not like how you have to dawn wash everytime you need to do a little surface prep. My car is a black Mustang that never sees rain and I haven't washed it for...

I have been a Zaino addict for the past two years, but I have tried NXT, and so far I really like it. The part I really like is that I can skip the dawn wash everytime I want to work on a small spot, i.e to get out a scratch. So my question is: Can I go right from 3M SMR to NXT? I...

What is the best QD to use in conjunction with NXT?

I have a new Red Acura TSX and had a small, very minor scratch on the door near the handle. I used Scratch-X, by hand, rubbing fairly light, for a fairly short time, and was very surprised to see the polishing cloth pick up some red tint. I tested a small spot on the hood and got the same...

My wife's Jeep had some jerk drag something down the side from the front fender all the way to the first door handle. It left a white streak all the way. The only way I could remove it was with the PC and 3M PII Rubbing Compound on an orange pad and then SMR to remove the haze. Time...

I was working on covering my Black Mustang, and my six year old daughter was walking around the car with me and all of a sudden she says "dad, there is a big scrape over here on the fender." I go and look, and it is a very light surface scratch. Then she starts finding more. I try to make...

Anybody else feel the pain for the black Ford Focus in the ad were the "anal" guy starts out by dry wiping something off the hood, then drives around town avoiding every little bbit of water, just to jump on the hood to avoid wiper spray srom a car in front? :scared :scared I started...

I have a black Mustang with a bunch of linear scratches, probably from toweling. This car is driven on sunny days only and probably is only washed maybe once or twice a year. I use a California Duster and Z6 everytime I drive the car. I used Zaino Z5 this last year, and although it...

Anybody have any recommendation an how to protect the aluminum wheels on my Jeep Grand Cherokee this winter?? I have always had good luck with painted aluminum wheels, but not clearcoated. The Jeep wheels are a combination of silver paint and polished aluminum that is clearcoated. The...

I bought some 3M Body Repair Rubbing Compound, Fine Cut. How is this different from 3M FII Fine Cut??? Should I be using this, or did I buy the wrong stuff??

I have a black car that I have Zaino Z5'd a bunch of times. I have some scratches that I can see in my lights in my garage and outside in the direct reflection of the sun. I bought some 3M FCRC and a Viking Foam applicator, with the idea of going at the scratches by hand. Am I being...

I am planning on getting a PC soon. I know that many have discussed this before, however, I can't seem to determine the definitive answer. I have a black '02 Mustang. After I first bought it, I washed it several times, using Meguires Ulitmate Wash. After a few washings, I started to...

I have a black Mustang that is only a few months old. It has some minor surface scratches here and there that can only be seen in direct light reflections. I have been using Zaino with very good results, but I can still see the scratches. These are micro / surface scratches, but on...
