Hey guy's, I've got some fairly expensive MF towels that I use for buffing carnuba. Is a long cycle in hot water and laundry soap the correct way? Of course no dryer sheets.... Thanks

Do either of these leave white residue on black trim? And I assume its ok to put Sig II on top of KSG? Thanks

Hi Guys, Haven't been around here in a while. I'm a detailing fanatic, taking great care of my own cars and doing a select few on the side. I just picked up a new 2012 BMW X5 Alpine white 8 days ago, watched it come off the truck, took immediate delivery, paint is perfect....except for...

Hi Guy's, Have a scratch caused by the end of an air hose coupling in the back bumper of my BMW. About 2" long and can feel it with finger nail. I'm sure I can't remove it but would like to hide it pretty good, color is silver so I'm off to a good start. Thanks a ton!!

Hi Guy's, New 3 series with a 4" scratch on the outside front window right in the center. Looks like maybe something abrasive may have been under the wiper blade because it has a circular arc in the same radius as the wiper motion. Part of the 4" long scratch I can just barely feel with the...

I just bought a 2008 BMW 335. It's silver and will live outside 50% of the time in Charlotte NC. The trunk, roof, and hood had some acid rain marks that I got 90% out using fusion on foam with my PC. My main goal is to best avoid paint damage. Of course I am right on it when bird bombs happen...

Hi All, Clayed it. ZPC with PC it. 2 coats Z5 Pro. Should I Z2Pro it on top of Z5 Pro? Any benefits or leave it alone? Thanks

Hey everyone, Hope you are having a great day. I'm using my 7336 and wondering if I should use setting 6? I am using Griots red wax pad, I feel their orange polishing pad is too hard. All I'm trying to do is remove clay marring and clean it up nice before Z5 Pro. Thanks.

Hey guys, Been a Zaino and P21 user for some time. As you all know Zaino reformulated Z2 and Z5. What are your thoughts on the differences of both? It sure seems to me that the Z5 Pro claims on the bottle sound more impressive in terms of: "Filling Swirl Marks and Fine Scratches-Toughest and...

Hey guys, Some of you have seen a few of my threads here. I have the 2007 Alpine white BMW that I prepped for days prior to 3 coats of Z2 Pro. Well I still have been unable to get many straight line scratches out. My friend is send me down my PC. I last used it 3 years ago on my 911 which...

Hey Guys, What a *****, It's really impossible to keep a car nice nowadays. Let me back up a few years.... 1998..brand new 4runner...safely parked between 2 curb islands...so I thought. Landscapers show up while I am having lunch and do $7700 damage to paint, in other words, total repaint on...

Do I gain anything doing this? or is it a waste of time. Thanks all :think:

or at least to a point. I have 3 coats of Z2 Pro with ZFX and a final mist of Z8. My car was not out of the garage maybe 5 minutes and was permanantly covered in pollen. Even after a swift drive it wouldn't blow off. Hmmm :hairpull

I was a long time P21/S100 user. I would 3M Imperial HG/P21 my cars and I couldn't have been happier with the look but the last and durability became an issue. Recently I just bought a new white BMW and decided to go Zaino on it only for the added protection. It looks really good.....as any...

I consider myself quite knowledgeble in detailing, but I don't know everything about it and thats why I joined here to seek all of your opinions. I have been using 3M Imp. Hand Glaze followed by P21S. This combo proved very nice on my past 2003 speed yellow 911. 2 weeks ago I bought a more...
