Using Megs 105 and LC 5" orange pad for lots of swirls on Jet Black BMW (2008). I saw a video that said to put enough pressure on the PC so it almost stops spinning. Tried this on one door, speed 5, and it removed 80% of the swirls. I'm happpy with this but I can see faint halograms, same...

Whats the best way to hand polish tight areas that my porter cable can't get to? Do I use a microfiber pad by hand or can I carefully try to use the porter cable? I'll be using Meg 105. I have a 08 Jet Black M3. Just bought it used with 10k miles but looks like the owner was driving on...

Hello My 08 M3 has 4,000 miles and it has several waterspots on the hood. Top and trunk lid look OK. I tried a 50/50 vinegar and water wipe down but that didn't do anything. I was going to order Chemical Guys water spot remover but they said they can't sell because it's too acidic! They...

Only reason I bought some was I needed more Z6 and Z7. I have 1 1/2 bottles of old Z2 sitting on a shelf. The new Z2Pro is much better than the old Z2. Titanium Silver Metallic BMW paint, old Z2 didn't do much. UPP looked better but went downhill after 1 month. Z2Pro has more depth with the...

Any comments or reviews ? Looks like it has a lot of wax in it. I tried on a small area and it added more shine to three coats of ZFX+Z2. Can't wait to try on top of S100. Because it contains wax I'm thinking it will be a problem between multiple coats of Klasse SG. And it's not so...

So far I've tried ZFX+Z2, Z6 AIO, SG AIO, UPP The car is a dirt magnet. I saw the site that has shows Zaino attracting more dirt than Malms. AIO, SG was the best combo so far. Anyone do a comparison to see if a carnauba attracts less dirt ?

Tried Z7 for the first time and it works great. I had streaks of tar on my M3. store bought car soaps didn't work. Didn't want to use WD40 or goo gone. Mixed capful of Z7 and 1 gallon water. Removed most of the smaller streaks. Had to use Z7 full strength on the bigger streaks. Plenty of...

I think it's a 1992 or 1994 Mazda Miata White. Not sure if it has a clearcoat. Paint is in ok condition. This is my normal procedure, is there anything I shouldn't do if there is no clearcoat ? wash then clay. Polish with Menzerna IP, FPII. AIO then UPP. thanks

I found this BMW service bulletin with instructions on how to remove paint defects. One scary part "Use a digital paint thickness gage to measure and record the clear coat thickness of surrounding imperfections. Do not remove more than to 12.5 microns or .5 mils (.0005 inches) otherwise the...

Spent a ton on PC, pads, Menzerna IP and FPII but couldn't get the scratches out of my 2003 BMW M3. Contacted the vendor and they said I needed to use a rotary to get the scratches out! Unbelievable considering I just bought the PC from them. I later find out on my own that I needed a LC...

Made three passes with the PC, orange power pad, Menzerna IP. PC set to speed 4 then 4.5 then 5. Swirls less noticeable but still there after wiping off IP with 50/50 water/alcohol and MF. Normally I'd be happy but a Z2 test brings out the swirls. I'm working on a 2003 BMW M3 Silver with...

The roadfly forum has one but most of the products are not sealants. http://forums.roadfly.org/forums/detailing/5504326-1.html Zaino was the clear winner, NXT did poorly. Has anyone compared Zaino to FMJ, UPP, Blackfire, Klasse ? A long term test to compare durability, overall shine...

Does this bead water ? How durable is UPP (just UPP, no wax topper) ? Zaino ran out so I thought I'd try UPP. At $14.95 it's a lot cheaper than Zaino, Menzerna FMJ or Blackfire. Thanks
