I just washed x 2 with Dawn, clayed and washed again...then I did 2 coats of AIO and 1 coat of SG with my new PC...it's a new car and it came out real shiney, but there are quite a few swirl marks still visible after all that work... I'm wondering if i shouldn't go back, do a couple coats of...

I just got a PC (7336). how does the following sound to everyone? I have a 5 month old black 350Z...there are some minor swirls. I was gonna start with a wash, a MF towel dry, then clay it, followed by another wash and a MF towel dry. I was considering using my blower but I though it would...

I was at my favorite hardware store and the guy showed me this thing for $30...did I waste my Money?... my thought was that if it made polishing easier I might do it more than once a year, so I bought it...and don't tell me to go buy that Prter Cable thing cause I ain't willing to spend the...

I was going to use Dawn to get good and rid of old wax...then clay...then a normal car wash........is that good enough prep for AIO/SG or do I need an in between step there...this is on a 3 month old black 350z with paint that I assume is in good shape ...although it's hard to tell through all...

I've got a 2 month old 350Z black with a few real minor spiderwebs...I have no PC...I'm lazy and hoping for products that are easy to use with no unneccesary steps...BUT I will accept nothing less than a rediculously nice paint-prep...I'll prob go Klasse AIO/SG/and maybe S100 over the prep. So...

I've heard may people talk about the "glow" or "depth" you get from wax as opposed to a sealent...which is supposedly more reflective or shiney... Can anyone show in pictures what this means?...I'm still trying to make a final decission on what to use on my new car and I'd like to have some...

I would like to hear from anyone willing to chime in...what would be your ultimate choice in detail products if you could only choose one of each? (one prep, one polish one glaze one wax...like that)...what is your ultimate process - set of products as the world stands right now? ex. Meg's...

I've never gotten glass to look right. What's the secret?...and what about those polishes (RainX etc.)...Same question with Rubber trim...is there a good product to seal that as well?

I was told I should have a look Poorboy's EX for the sake of ease of use and longevity...which sounds good to me....I just want to make sure that I'm not sacrificing that "unbelievable finish" I keep hearing about with Klasse and Zaino products. Thought's?

I Know I Know....what the hell am I doing using Nu Finish...call it a noob indiscression (sp?)....anyway I want to make sure I get it off completely before claying, polishing, glazing and waxing....also how do I know it's gone?

I read people talk about these 2 interchangably almost as if they're made by the same company and / or are the same wax....what's the real deal?

I read somewhere (I seem to start more threads that way) that a good test for a cloth's scratchiness is to rub a cd with the cloth and see what happens.....well I did....with a couple of products...here's what happened....(Scoring 10 = No Scratches, 1 = lots of scratches) - Old 100% USA...

the title says it all

I'm looking for details on klasse's products...drying times, application temps...etc. anyone know if they have a website?

I may get linched for saying this, but I hate having to polish and wax...it's a pain in me arse!...I have a black 350z and I want a long lasting yet great looking finish without having to spend every other weekend rewaxing. Plus I figure the less I lay hands on the finish the less I'll manage to...
