Here is a quick gallery of the A4 detail today. I'm not 100% happy with it but I was trying out the new Zaino AIO and Z-Clear. Process was pretty much wash, Z-AIO, Z6, Z5 pro, Z6, Z5 pro, Z6, Z-Clear Might strip it all down and do Z5 pro, Z6, Z2 pro, Z6, Z-clear and see how that looks...

I just received my foam gun from Autogeek and when I was unboxing it there is a part missing, the little clear tube that goes into the bottle. Anyone know where I can get something to make due until I can call them and get a replacement? I had plans to do a detail on my car this weekend and I...

Haven't posted or read this forum in a long time, but I just bought a new Audi A4 (black) this past Friday and needed some brushing up on technique so I don't jack it up. The dealership already helped with that part, two small buffer hollograms and some minor micro marring. I had been...

Ok so I just got a chance to try out a couple new additons. First up: Poor Boy's SSS car wash. The stuff definitely produces some suds. I don't know how many ounces I used, but I doubt it was even 1. Plenty of suds for the entire car wash. The soap seemed to be mild in comparison to the...

I have never used any other car washing soap except Z7 on my cars when they have had Zaino z2/pro on them. I was wondering if I can use another soap w/o hurting the protection of the Zaino? I was thinking of trying the Optimum Car wash and wanted to see if that would be alright with the Z2 pro...

I posted this over at DC also. My buddy finally brought over his "new" to him Grand Prix GTP which he picked up a couple weeks ago. The prior owner did not keep the paint in good condition and it had lots of swirls and scratches with oxidized paint. Of course it was black...

I did a search and couldn't find any information on this topic. I have two coats of Z2 Pro on my Silver A3 and was curious after reading all the good reviews on OCW if I could use that ontop of the Zaino, or would it not bond properly? I would like to use it maybe after every 3rd of 4th car...

My detailing buddy and I just got in our LC pads (yellow, white & red) plus the Menzerna IP and FPII that we ordered and we have a question regarding our first attempt with the PC 7336. Primary a Zaino user so never had to worry about trim being stained from product, and wanted to know if we...

I am pretty set on getting the PC 7336SP from Lowes and have a pretty good idea on the pads and product I want to try out. Some of the menzerna IP and FPII and some LC pads. I was on a site and saw an interesting item and wanted to know if anyone has ever tried it. It was a pad for the...

Which clay bars would be safe to use for spot detailing w/o removing my Zaino or other wax that is currently on the vehicle. I know I read that the new Sonus fine detailing clay is safe to use inbetween waxings, but are there any others. Clay Magic, Meguires, Zaino, etc.... Thanks in advance...

There used to be a guy named Tom in Suwanne Georgia that was a Zaino distributor, but the info I have is really dated. I just tried to email him and it bounced back to me. Does anyone know if there is a Zaino dealer in the Atlanta area? Also is there anywhere to get Sonus products in Atlanta?

I have been a member of this forum for a number of years, although I have not been active in probably 2 years. I recently (last Saturday) picked up my new Audi A3 (Silver) and immediately prepped it and slapped two coats of Zain Z2 pro on it. This has sparked my detailing habit! I returned...

I just took my 3 week old car into have some minor body work repaired after I backed into a miata from my driveway. I was talking with the shop and they are going to have to repaint the driver side quarter panel and bumper. I asked how long until I can put my Zaino's back on and they said they...

Does anybody know of any good Atlanta area detail supply stores. I can't seem to find any good detailing tools except online. I have all the Zaino products I could ever want or need, but I can't find a place that sells good tools.. ie: micro fiber drying towels, appliator pads..etc...etc...
