I haven't really checked this forum out for a few years. I found the product/process that I liked and I haven't had much desire to change. I thought I would hop on and see if any better products have hit the market and I see that Zaino Z2 Pro isn't mentioned like it used to be. I have a dark...

I just purchased some 3M 39002 Rubbing Compound from Autozone to fix an area of my car that I just re-cleared. I did about 20 minutes worth of work by hand and was really impressed with the results. Then yesterday I read about it on the forums and learned that it was some pretty toxic stuff...

I noticed that I had some rust bubbles under the paint on the back fender of my Cadillac. I used a Dremel and brought it down to the metal then put some touch up paint over one. They are really small, about 1/8" for the circumference. I got my camera behind it and this is what I saw. The...

Is this a bad combination? I just tried it with the 3M 05737 white pad on the rotary and it doesn't work the polish like my porter cable does. I figured I would stop and ask the question before wasting time.

I've searched but was unable to find anything, forgive me if this questions has ben asked before. This past winter an old man hit my bumper and scratched it up really well. Its one of those ones whee I should maybe repaint the whole bumper. In an effort to save a little money I was...

Sorry but i accidentally posed in the wrong forum so I am re-posting it here. I just got my shipment from Autogeek of Med IP and FP; it came with two orange (applicator) pads. I am going to be doing my dark blue Cadillac, the paint isn't terrible as it was done last May. These orange pads...

I just got my shipment from autogeek of Med IP and FP; it came with two orange pads. I am going to be doing my dark blue Cadillac, the paint isn't terrible as it was done last May. These orange pads feel a little aggressive, should I be using them with the IP? I also have the Propel pads in...

I did my Seville last April using Poor Boys and I am not going to go with them again. It has dark blue paint so it is showing some swirls. I have been good about taking care of the paint but NY winters will hurt it a bit. I need something that will remove the minor swirls in the GM paint...

I had clayed and polished my car in April, then hit it with the Z2 Pro. I went to use my ZFX but it had turned to Gel. I did a few layers but I spaced them out over a few days. Think the stuff bonded?

I fence and scraped about two inches width of paint down to the metal. Luckily it was along a seem on the back end of my car and it isn't more than 1/8 high. I want to use one of those paint markers to fill it in, is there any particular brand I should go with?

I bought some cheaper aftermarket wheels and in 2 seasons, 3 of them are bent. I need to replace all of them and was thinking about going after market again. I don't want to have the same problem so I was wondering if some of you in the forums could help. Are universal wheels weaker? Has...

Last summer I found that two of my after market universal wheels were bent. The bends were only noticeable on the Hunter Road Force Balancer. I couldn't visually tell. I was thinking about getting them fixed, anyone have experience with getting them fixed? I was also looking to buy new...

I have new rotors on my Caddy and after driving for two hours in the rain, they have already began to turn orange. Are there any tricks to prevent this? My car looks great, as do my wheels but this is driving me nuts.

How much CC does the PC eat up with SSR2.5 and the Excel (Propel) Yellow cutting pad?

If a yellow propel pad gets most of the swirls out after one use, should I be using a lighter pad instead and going over the area more times? I don't want to break down the CC too much.
