I used to use the blue waffle weaves from exceldetail, but apparently that website is no more. Any recommendations on a new waffle weave that is safe for my paint? If it might be locally available that would be a plus, if not just throw up a link. Thanks, Jason

Where should I go for some really high quality polishing, quick detailing, and drying towels?? I had used products from exceldetail.com before, but it doesn't appear to be the same company anymore, and I'm not sure on their products. Thanks, Jason

Okay so a friend just came over because we were going to throw a coat of Z2pro on his new carbon fiber hood in order to protect it. He had just washed his car at home, which has fairly hard water, and there is some spotting on the hood. I figured a quick spray of Z8 would clear that up, but no...

so, i got my car looking quite nice with zaino, partly because i wanted to and partly because lots of family was coming to town for my sisters wedding. Well, her rehearsal dinner tonight was at a place with a long unpaved driveway, and it left a nice layer of white dust on my car. Would it be...

so, about a month ago i clayed my car and did 2 coats of ZFXed Z5 and 2 coats of ZFXed Z2pro, with Z6 in between. I just got some Z8, which i'm excited to try out, and i was thinking i might do another coat of Z2pro with the Z8 before and after. Should i ZFX it?? Does it make any difference...

so, i just recently did the full zaino treatment on my car (claybar, multiple coats of sealant, z6, z7, z16). Shiny as heck, looks beautiful, protects great.... but i do have swirls, especially on my hood. I prolly won't be able to afford to really work on that for a while, but i was just...

So, i just finished up with my first ever detailing venture, and i figured i'd put up some pictures of my car, a Spicy Orange Mazdaspeed Protege. Unfortunately it wasn't sunny out, because the flake and the pearl just POP when it is. The last pic on the inner edge of the mirror is prolly the...

so, i've got some zaino z16 tire gloss stuff, but i'm not sure what the best way to get my tires looking really superb is. You're supposed to clean the tires before using the z16... i tried using some bon ami scrum stuff (i understand taht its mildly abrasive, and shouldn't be used just by...

Okay, so i just put on some Z5 for my car. I used prolly more than 3/4 an ounce, which, after calling Zaino, i realize is waaaayyy to much (i drive a mazdaspeed protege). But i can't really get it off. I put it out in the sun to dry, as per the zaino people's suggestions. I've gone over...

okay, so i just started applying some Z5 to my car.... but i can hardly see the 'haze' after applying. I'm trying to go real light on the stuff, since its so expensive and all, and because of how much they stress that a little goes a LONG way, but its almost impossible to see the haze when...

Hello, i just wanted to introduce myself and ask a few questions. My name is Jason, i own a 2003 Spicy Orange Mazdaspeed Protege. I first heard about this place from a fellow protege owner, named Paul (i dunno what his tag on these forums is though). I just got the basic Zaino kit for my...
