Gonna get the Powerball and they say to use PowerMetal with it. Can't seem to figure out what the difference is between the two products. I need something to keep my polished aluminum wheels clean and remove any fine scratches. Yes, these are 3-piece Racing Hart C2s, but I had them refinished...

Here is the link: Salt-Away Looks to be a useful product for removing salt from cars without scratching. Anybody try it?

BTW, I have a silver Acura 3.2TL. I know I have some microscratching. If I park at the mall at night in certain angles I can see them. But I can't see them in my garage. I currently have 6 dual-bulb fluoroescent lights mounted in the ceiling and a portable halogen work light, but no matter...

My wheels have a nice polished lip that is anodized aluminum. Can I use aluminum polish or should I use something else?

I've read about the swirl reducing/filling properties of Z5, but was wondering.... Once you've put several coats of Z2 on your car, what benefit would Z5 have if layered over top?

I know I know, you shouldn't put anything on top of Zaino, but I've read somewhere that a carnauba topper adds a level of depth not achieved with Zaino alone. Can anyone confirm that before I waste my time. I realize the next time I apply Zaino, I'll have to strip the topper, but since Dawn...

Finally got to use my PC this weekend. Used it just for the SMR. Here's a shot of the hood with the sun starting to go down. Oh and yes, my car is silver, which makes the reflection that much more challenging. I think if my car was black, you'd think you were sitting in the guys living room...
