In late December of last year my wife purchased a dark slate metallic Nissan. Although when we purchased the car I did not see a blemish in the hood it was certainely there when I sealed the car in January. It looked to me like a waterspot or a bird bomb had etched the clear coat. Prior to...
Just recently ordered some new products; Opt-Seal and BFWD. I have a dark slate metallic Altima and a red Silverado. The first question I have is does anyone prefer one LSP over the other for these colors? The second question deals with striping old wax\sealants. I've searched the forum and read...
Was wondering if anyone else had seen the following link. This is just a hoot - this 89 year old lady has owned this car through 3 divorces. She paid a little over $3,000 for the car new and has spent ~50,000 since 1964 on maintenance. She believes in buying parts which are lifetime warranted...
First off, I am not a professional detailer only a hobbyist. For those of you that do this for a living do you feel a certification would help in landing a sale? If I did not do my own work I believe I would find it comforting to know that a detailer was certified by Meguiar's or some other...
I got home from work today and saw someone had hit the left corner of my bumper pushing it into the body. I'm sure it happened in down town (Columbia SC) today while parking along the street in metered parking over the course of a little over of an hour. I was attending the annual RCPL banquet...
Everytime I turn around it seems like someone is talking about a new product that is out, I can't keep up anymore. I was in Carquest today and saw the following. Although I'm sure these are not just released products they've never caught my eye before (maybe new packaging). I was wondering if...
Kinda hard to believe Dale Jr is leaving DEI (will run Henderick cars + engines). When Dale Sr died I moped around for weeks. It was like losing a family member. Over the course of the last several weeks, Jr has came across to me as a spoiled child demanding ownership of DEI. Without knowing...
Who has heard of inflating tires with nitrogen? This is supposed to maintain tire pressure longer and resist heat build-up on hot summer days. They claim this can increase gas mileage 1 to 1.5 miles per gallon. This has been done in NASCAR for years and is supposed to becoming more common. Cost...
If you want to prevent wasting Z2 \ Z5 then use foam pads instead of using the microfiber pads from Zaino. When starting you can spritz the foam pad with Z7 and water (1 cap full to 16 oz bottle). This will dramatically cut your usage because the microfiber sponges have a tendency to soak up a...
Has anyone ever experienced QD softening the run channel? Sometimes now when rolling the glass up the glass is not staying inside the channel and forming a seal.
Sitting here today thinking about the cruise my family will be taking in a couple of weeks over Presidents Day, I began to wonder how this vacation could possibly top last year. Our family vacation last year was a rekindling of spirit and hope for me personally.
Last year I got to tour the...
First of all let me say I love the Z product. Having said that, I'm beginning to get paranoid. Several weeks ago I had the ZFX gel up but it was replaced with no questions asked. I've been periodically keeping my eye on the replacement to ensure it doesn't gel. My latest concern is today I...
