I've been using the CG Citrus Wash Clear at the body solvent strength of 2 oz per gallon to strip cars when prepping. I don't like I was about to order more and I've noticed that they are now calling it 'Citrus Wash Clear Daily Wash' and there is no longer any mention of using at the body...

Now I already know that this buffer will not remove any defects. This would be a Father's Day present for my father. My Dad just bought a 2006 Ford F150 and I am sending him a 12oz bottle of Optimum Poliseal and a bottle of OCW so that he can clean up the truck and provide protection until...

I have been using the Optimum Metal polish for several months now. I usually use a heavier duty metal polish to clean up chrome and then finish off with the OPT Metal Polish. I like that it also seals with a protective layer. I haven't really been able to judge the durability of the sealant...

The UDSP is a decent detail spray for cleaning up the surface but I do not think it changes the look at all which makes it quite expensive for just cleaning. What other detail sprays have anybody used with UPGP? Has anyone tried using any of the sealant toppers like Z-8 or AW yet? Any...

Does anyone know a US based source for Menzerna PO 85 RD or PO 85 RE 5? I can only find European or Asian retailers.

Lately, I've been thinking that I prefer Z-2 or Z-5 as my final layer of Zaino instead of ZCS. I don't think that ZCS is nearly as slick as z5/z2 and I have been having problems with water spots on my black paint when ZCS was my last layer. The spots are in the ZCS. I'm not saying they are...

I friend of mine let me try some of his FK-100 as a topper on my black car. The car already had ZAIO and 2x Z5Pro (about +3 months old). The previous application of Z8 was spent (about 3.5 weeks). I put 2 layers of the FX-100 on and black looked like the wettest shimmering black pool I have...

Does anyone have any experience with the FK1 paint decontamination kit? I've been reading their website and it sounds very interesting but I have some questions. I want to try it on my car to see if I want to add it to my concourse package for my serious customers If you were to still...

For those that have had the opportunity to test the upcoming Z-AIO, would you use Z-AIO after you have polished with Menzerna P0106FF? Or would it cause a slight dulling of the that amazing surface that P0106FF leaves behind? I know ZAIO would not be needed for it corrective/cleaning...

Has anyone tried this DF Peerless Sponge from DF® Concours? http://www.dftowel.com/ordertowels.html 'It cleans like a mild clay as it washes and maintains the vehicle finish so well that the you may not need to clay but once a year. This is not some off the shelf foam, it's made from the...

Has anyone tried this Prima Amigo polymer glaze from Detalers Paradise? http://www.detailersparadise.com "Prima Amigo; Amigo is a paintwork cleanser...It is a polymer-based glaze...It is a super-fine polish which levels up to 3000 grit imperfections. Prima Amigo; Amigo is a paintwork...

I bought the Sonux SFX-1,-2,-3 polishes and have polished several cars where I have applied several layers of Zaino on top. I just realized that the Autopia website describes the SFX-3 polish as 'an ultra-fine show car polish and finishing glaze'. The bottle never mentions that is a finishing...

It seems that us Zaino users are at a disadvantage because there is no glaze to fill the imperfections so that the finish is perfectly smooth like the carnuba users. Z-5Pro can only fill so much and using Menzerna Power Gloss is about as heavy a cut s I am comfortable using (with a ROP). And...

I have been a Zaino user for about 1.5 years, but I have just recently started using the Z-8 Grand Finale detail spray. Is anyone out there using the Z-8 detail spray having problems with very noticeable water spots? I am assuming that the etching is in the Zaino and not the clearcoat. The...
