Help! I am not sure what to do. My 03 Porsche 996TTis a garage queen and has Zaino on it; Z5x1 and Z2x1. After washing it I can feel some surface contamination. On a scale of 1 to 5 its probably a 1 but nonetheless I want to get back to that super slick finish. I tested a small section with...

Hi Guys, I have had my new Lexus GX470 about a month now and will soon be detailing and applying Zaino. I have managed to already get quite a few scuff marks on the ivory colored interior plastic trim pieces. The marks appear black and I have tried removing them with Vinylex and 409 but...

Well I just bought a new Jetski and since I have been so pleased with it on my truck, I decided to use it on my Jetski. I was hoping it would prevent waterspots and staining but it did not work as well as I had hoped. It only has one layer of Z5 so maybe it needs more Z5 or Z2. After a Zaino...

I need some help from you fellow autopians please. Before I new any better I applied Zaino on top of what appears to be water spots on my truck. The finish feels super slick but I want to get rid of these spots. I tried washing and clay but the spots still remain. Following the advice here I...

I just received my Big Blue Drying Towel and I have a couple of questions. a) the only packaging on it says Pinnacle and no mention of Big Blue Drying Towel. Did I get the right product or a substitute? b) no instructions; should I wash first before using it? Thanks in advance, Bill

Do you guys use the PC to apply: a) Pinnacle Paintwork cleaner b)P21S Paint Cleaner c)medalion premium paint cleaner. Which do you prefer? What is the order of abrasiveness? Which pad do you use, the white or yellow? Thanks in advance. Bill

I received my Pinnacle Souveran kit from CMA so I decided to detail today and here are my impressions: Pinnacle Bodywork Shampoo: I think I used way too much, probably about 2 ozs. Filled up the bucket with water to the top and got lots of suds. Smells great. Can't really say it's any...

Is it necessary or a waste of time to use a paint cleaner before or after using 3M's swirl mark remover? It seems to me that the swirl mark remover would also "clean" the paint making it unneccesary to use PPCL or P21S cleaner. I plan to follow the SMR with a IHG or Meguiar's #3 and then pure...

I was recently at Costco and stumbled across some MF towels. They are made by Microfiber Unlimited and are 80% polyester and 20% polyamide. They are packaged 8 to a box of assorted colors and are priced $9.99. They measure 14X16. I have used them for Qd, applying and removing cleaner,for...

What happens if you use Souveran on a light colored car? I am thinking about ordering one of their kits and since I have a dark and light colored car I thought the more complete kit that contains souveran was a better deal. I was also going to ask them if they would substitute the vinyl and...

My truck had to have part of the rear fender repainted and I was wondering how long I should wait before applying Zaino. Does the paint need to cure? On other parts of the car I accidently sealed over minor water spots. Should I wash the car with Dawn to get the water spots out or do I need...

Hello everyone, I am new to this board and have been reading and learning for quite some time but have never posted anything. I have a couple of questions. First Question: It seems everyone is really big on some of the Pinnacle products and I was thinking of ordering the special offer #2...
