All- Just sharing for those that might be interested. No catch and it's free unless you need/want the Pro version.............. My wife and I have been using a file syncing program called Dropbox to share documents related to a shared project. She works on one computer and I work on...

All- Recently I started wondering if there would be any benefits to topping 303 with Z-CS. I like the finish provided by 303 but it has a tendency to leave runs/streaks after it rains. I know some Autopians have been using Z-CS on trim with good results so I decided to put the two together...

All, What pad should I use when working an AIO by hand? The vehicle needs very little if any correction. Use of an AIO will basically be for the removal of minor water spots and as a base for the next steps. Products I'm using are: ZAIO Polishing Pal w/ LC pads I'm leaning towards the...

All- Earlier this week I received my first bottle of Vanilla Moose. I noticed two things about the bottle: 1. There appears to be a spot of dried product at the bottom. I've made the spot smaller by vigorously shaking the bottle but there is a portion that seems as if it will never mix in...

All- When was AquaWax released to market? My research suggests it was about one year ago but the label on bottle I purchased yesterday has a copyright date of 2004. I purchased it strictly for use on my windshield but am having some streaking issues. I suspect it's because the windshield...

Does anyone know, or have experience with, the shelf life of Menzerna products? Specifically PO85RD 3.02, PO106FA, and PO85RD. I'm planning to have some Menzerna shipped in from the UK and figure that since I'm going to the trouble/expense that I might as well get the 1 liter bottles...

Hi all- I've never been a foam applicator user. The majority of products I've used in the past worked fine with a MF applicator. I now have some products that I've read would work best with foam applicators so I decided to pick some up. Since the Meguiars Gold Class Foam Applicators seem to...

Am I blind or is there no email address listed on the Chemical Guys website? I want to contact them regarding availability of their air fresheners in smaller size containers. I know I can call but I'd really rather send an email.

All, I've never used any AIO type product before but am considering getting some Z-AIO. I have a few questions before I place an order. 1. Will Z-AIO remove minor water spots? 2. Does Z-AIO have to be broken down like a polish? 3. If it does have to breakdown, does it have any visual...

All- I'll soon be ordering a PC from Danase and had planned on picking up some of the 5.25" CCS pads. I recently read a post on here that implied these pads weren't good for beginners. Any thought on that? If using CCS pads isn't a good idea, what would be a good choice in pads for someone to...

I've read through several threads on CG 5050 but can't find much detail about it's durability. Several people imply that it's durable or state that they hope to get 4+ weeks of durability. However I haven't seen anyone stating specifics on how long it performed. Any feedback?

While ordering some products from Autopia Car Care I decided to try the Sonus Ultra-Fine Clay and Glyde Lubricant. After receiving my order today I started wondering if the Glyde lubricant was going to be okay for use prior to applying Zaino. I know QD's that contain wax can cause a problem with...

I have some ZFX left that is 2+ years old. The Zaino website says that the usable shelf life for ZFX is 18 months. So what does expired ZFX look like? Does it dry up? If it's still in a liquid state is it good or does the "expiring" happen on a chemical level regardless of whether or not it's...

Hi all- I've been a lurker here for awhile and have picked up a lot of good info. I've used Zaino for several years on my motorcycle and my wife's Suburban. I'm a big fan and will continue to use it. When I first started using Zaino their website only recommended 100% cotton towels so that is...
