I have 3 layers of BF Paint Protection which I applied 7/8. It's a daily driver so swirl city. I know I could start over with the BF polish but will adding some more layers of paint protection hide swirls like say Z5. I may either strip BF and SMR, then put Z on for the upcoming winter or...

I originally had 5 layers of Souveran. Before that I had Zaino. I dawned, SMRed, clayed, BF Polish, 3 layers of BF Paint Protection. The look seems better than the plastic look of Zaino but not as much depth as Souveran. It just looks blah...or plain. Maybe it's just me...we'll see if I...

The UPS man just dropped off my PC, ordered yesterday, got it today. I got the PC from Coastal Tools. Do I remove the 5" weight from the PC and put on the 6"? I have no clue how to set this up. :nixweiss BTW, what speed do you guys use for applying Z, Klasse, SMR, etc?

Hey guys, I upgraded my buffer from a Craftsman to a PC. I got mines from Coastaltools. It comes with the weight and hoop and loop. What else do I need? Just pads? Can I get them at an auto store or must I get them from CMA?

If anyone is interested (shipped Priority mail): New bottle of Zaino z3 $14.00 shipped New bottle of Zaino z1 $10.00 shipped

I put Souveran on 2 weeks ago and put another layer a few days ago. The car is black and sits everyday in direct sunlight. Thats not good at all, right? The scratches appear visibly when I qd. It seems like the carnuba is melting, right? I guess it's time to switch to bf and a souveran...

Here are some pics with Souveran after stripping zaino off the car: Souveran definitely gave it a more glossy black look. There was more depth. I loved how easy it went on and came off. http://members.verizon.net/~vze32rrq/souveran1.jpg...

We have so many members with Zaino, Klasse, Blackfire, Meguiars, etc. However, I rarely see any cars on here with Souveran. :wavey I'm stripping the Zaino off my car this weekend and trying out the Souveran from a GB. I'll prolly end up putting Zaino for the winter. :xyxthumbs

Whats the best way to start up some type of small detailing biz? Do freebies for a few people? I would like a little extra money and since I have so much detailing stuff, Zaino, Klasse, Souveran, Meguiars, Zymol, etc.

CMA has the kit of 9 bottles of Eimann Fabrik for $45, then there's a 10% discount. I was thinking of getting this...will the wash or detail do anything to Zaino? :nixweiss

I detailed the camry with Zaino 2 weeks ago and detailed a van Sunday with Klasse. Klasse was a ***** to remove...finally got around to detailing my own car: After 9 hrs:

I've Klassed one car and zainoed one car. I've decided to Zaino my black '02 GTP, but i was wondering those that have a black car or a lot of swirls, do you just use Meguiar's #2 on the whole car? Or is that crazy?

I've heard how the NicSand MFs are crap, I bought one myself and they were not that good. However, anyone ever tried the NicSand Cotton Bonnets for a buffer, most of the auto stores locally carry them in 3 or 6 packs. Pepboys had them on sale for 3 bucks, normally around 9, a 6 pack of...

Ok so my parents own (I'm 21) a van, those conversion high top big vans. After the 4th yr of ownership they <strong class='bbc'>NEVER[/b] wash the van anymore. 2 yrs ago, I clayed it with mothers and then used the Meguiars #7 polish and finished it with Meguiar's cleaner wax #6. I used an...
