So, I did my first boat yesterday! Gel coats are NO joke! I did a basic wash followed up with a single step buff/polish and wax as a LSP. I used the Meguiars M67 one step compound with foam pads on my Rupes 21. I broke it up into sections and went to town. Two solid passes on each section with...

Hello!  So My GTI encountered the trash can on it's way out of the garage yesterday :(  The edge where the truck hooks onto the can itself is sharp and.... I'll let the pictures do the talking.  What are my options?  I can barely feel the scratches with my fingernail, but I can feel them.. ...

FRIGGIN AMAZING!! I opti-coated my car last summer. It was my first opti coat experience and I don't think I applied enough product AND I dont think I let it dry enough before leveling out the high spots. Anywho, with Iowa winters and no free time I gave into the urge for an easy clean car by...

Long time lurker here, hobby detailer. I've mostly used Zaino. I try new products every year to keep things fresh, Most recently have been using the Ultima PGP, Collonite 845 and the dura gloss line, then back to Zaino as a base. I couldnt resist the claims of Opti-coat so I took the plunge...

I've been a faithfull Zaino user for over 8years.. I love the durability, love the shine and with the addition of a great carnauba on occasion, I love the depth. My issue is this, TIME! I don't have the time I used too. I am noticing Alot of new products that seem very impressive and require...

The seats feel like cardboard, seem to be a bit darker than other volvos of same year (REALLY dirty?) no tears though.. The dash and interior trim is pretty stained (but not too cracked and damaged). Here are my questions. What is the best (most effecient, safest) product to use and should I...

Adam's Polishes - Adam's Quick Sealant Anyone here try this yet? The video doesn't really show anything because the car is already immaculate.. Just curious if there's any real results/experience out there.

Is there a magazine like Autopia.org?? You know, one with pics, articles, product reviews, show coverage etc??

Shine courtesey of multiple coats of Sureluster Carnauba layered over, (too many to count) Layers of Zaino (Z5Pro and Z2Pro, Spray detailer, ZPC, etc) The Carnauba was added for depth. Today was a wash/dry and the Z6 Gloss enhancer spray.... Back to the Garage!!

Wouldn't this be almost if not as effective as a foam gun if you intended on using it to soak the car with a soap of your choice then wash it normally (like you would a foam gun).... Just curious, debating on the purchase of a foam gun, and have the auto dry collecting dust in the garage (gift...

I did some searching and haven't really found what I'm looking for. Does anyone use this product, have any pictures of this product applied or just more recent information on it? I found a store locally that bought 10 cases of it before the company was bought out by Japanese company and...

So I just bought a Saab as my work car, I love it EXCEPT! Theres the black rubber/plastic trim pieces about 3/4 way down on the doors and the front and rear bumpers and they have wax built up on them, and I tried a couple recommended meguiars products as well as the back to black by mothers and...

Good Afternoon! I am a long time Hobby detailer, looking to further expand my knowledge in the ever changing world of the ultimate paint finish. I have what my friends call is an "illness" when it comes to the cleanliness and perfect shine of my vehicles, and I have even (like many of you I'm...

So I have been a faithfull Zaino user for about 4 years, I have recently been expanding the scope of cars I work on (including the purchase of an older VW for myself) and found myself dissapointed with the lack of prep products Zaino has available. So I resorted to the Meguiars Professional...
