Been a while since I have posted. Good to be back. I'm in the market for some new products, could use some opinions. I'm working on my new (to me) 90 Mustang. The paint is there, but no shine, full of micro scratches and swirl marks, and apears very dry. I was thinking of going with all...

Well, jsut got my front end painted and want to protect it from rocks, chips, etc. It's a dark blue paint. I priced a clear bra and wow, they are expnsive for the bumber, part hood treatment. Any reccomendations for conventional bras? Where to shop, look? If I should consider something...

Just picked up a 90 Mustang GT 5.0 in strawberry (more like maroon) but.... The car has a stock single stage (I think) paint finish and is swirled, and somewhat dull. Could anybody reccomend some products? I have been using Minzerna IP/FP, and AIO with P21S on my new cars. Thanks

Quick question. My new routine: Clay Menzerna IP & FP AIO P21s I'm looking forward to seeing how the car turns out but after doing this, will I have to start over each time I get some swirls or scratches at the Menzerna point, or with AIO? Can't imagine I can just keep reapplying P21s...

Thanks for any advice. I have been using clay, SMR, Z5, Z2 on my car for 2 years now, ready for a change. I have a 02 Dark Blue/Black metallic Grand Prix. This is the new routine I want to try: Clay SMR Klasse AIO P21S or Pinacle Souveran Question I have is, can I use SMR in...

This is strange, can somebody solve this?? Starting with a clean car, clean glass.... If I roll the front windows down, and wait a few minutes, I roll them back up only to find the outsides have a really nasty film near the front. ???? Mostly the front windows, and more so on the driver...

Hi all. I'll be doing a decent detail on my wife's silver Acura tomorrow. It's currently protected with Mother's reflections. I plan on using some SMR to get rid of some swirls and my questions is do I need to clay first if there is any raised and imbedded dirt, or will SMR with the PC yellow...

Curious as to whether anybody here has used Reflections. I have been attempting to use it and jsut have not gotten the results I have been after. I use Zaino on my Grand prix but had a bottle of Mother's I figured I would try on the Acura. About 3 months ago I dawn washed, clayed and SMR'd...

Was out doing a full detail yesterday on my car (Dark Blue/Black Metallic) and noticed on the entire front bumper and front of hood, hundreds (if not more) little tiny micro chips/pits in the paint. Most of them apear as little white dots the size of a pit point. I'm sure these are from...

Is it 100% neccasary to wash after SMR before Zaino or can I just Z6 the surface really well. I started a project today and then the winds here in socal kicked up really bad and I would rather not opent he garage agin if I don't have to. thanks for any advise.

Not to beat a dead horse of a subject, just want to make sure my plans are ok using the new PC with SMR. I have been using Zaino but welcome suggestions. Z has worked well but my car seems to get so dusty so fast. It's a dark blue black metalic grand prix, 7 months old. 1) wash car with...

Had to post something about my trip. This last week, my wife and I went to Las Vegas for a Chris Isaak Concert. the day before the show I insisted on going to the town of Rachel and then taking a drive down a huge dirt road that leads to the entrance on Area 51. This road was 13.8 miles worth...

Would I be crazy to assume I can apply SMR to my entire car by hand? The finish is pretty darn nice, just the usual mild swirl marks in the paint. I want to pick up a PC but can't really afford it right now. Thanks.

I am going to be helping my in-laws by detailing their car this weekend. It is a white Chrysler Sebring convertable. The car looks like it has not been washed in months, covered with oil from a uhaul when in tow, and has some slight oxidation. I have a few questions, could use some advise...

Just curious about everybody else. I wash my car at the very most, once a week, or every seven or so days. Most of the time I go 2 weeks. I would say I put 3 coats of Zaino on once a month, or around there. How often does everybody else wash, wax?
