    Was Z2 reformulated as well?

    I put a coat of Z2 on my car this morning, and noticed that it too was now an orange shade, as opposed to pink like my old bottle of Z2. Was it reformulated as well, like the Z5 was?

    Just want to say thanks

    Thanks to everyone on this forum for their help, tips and reviews. With your help, I have my car's exterior in the best condition it's ever been in. It's 7 years old and does show some normal road wear on the hood and front bumper, but every place else is almost flawless, save for the slight...

    When did Z5 go from white to orange?

    Just curious - my new Z1, Z2 and Z5 showed up today and I noticed that the Z5 was orange, not white like my near empty bottle in the garage. No big deal I'm sure, but I did notice it. Maybe to let you know it's on the car:nixweiss

    Ever wonder - "What's the point?", or "Why me?"

    Just need to vent a little here. Over the weekend I stripped the S100 from my car to prep it for Zaino since it's starting to get hot here and I want something that will last. The car was damn near perfect - no heavy scratches, no water spots, and smooth as glass. However, I had some spots...

    Another Zaino question

    OK, over the weekend I used Meg's SMR on my car, then a Dawn wash. Yesterday I put a coat of Z1 & Z5 on there, using my PC and a Meg's soft buff pad (their softest one). I follwed the directions from here and Z's home page by lightly spritzing the pad with Z6 prior to putting the Z1 on the...

    Dawn wash question

    If I'm going to put Zaino on my car, do I have to dawn wash after using Meguiar's SMR, or can I start with the Zaino right away?

    QuickShine over Zaino?

    Has anyone ever used the QuickShine QD over Zaino? I did a search but nothing useful showed up. With "winter" basically over here in SW FL, I'm going to put Zaino on my car since the heat will melt S100 right off the black paint:rolleyes: But while I love the look of Zaino, I really don't...

    Eagle 1 customer service

    A few weeks ago I ordered 2 bottles of Eagle 1's Interior Protectant Lotion. The box showed up with one of the bottles intact, but the other had a hole in it and had puked its contents all over the inside of the box. I called E1 and told them what happened, and they said they're replace it...

    Need info on a certain type of car

    Hey gang, I might have the opportunity to do a Hummer (the noun, not the verb:D ) and was wondering if there was anything to watch for like hard to get areas, trim, etc. It's black. Thanks.

    Black Magic Wet Shine Spray Detailer

    Hey gang, I saw this stuff at Wal-Mart and wanted to give it a shot. I took it out to my daughter's Cavalier that sits outside 24/7 and rarely gets washed (hey, it's her car, not mine:) ) and misted some on to the fender. Keep in mind that this is a black car that's been sitting outside all...

    Spoiled chocolate milk - any way to get it out?

    Hey gang, as I type I'm in the beginning stages of doing an interior detail on my neighbor's van. It's a HUGE Ford full size with the extended roof. She told me yesterday that "there's a funny smell and I have no idea what it is"...well, I found it. One of her kids put a small bottle of...

    Judged car shows - what do they look for?

    What are some things I'll need to address before entering a judged car show? The reason I ask is because the last 2 judged car shows I've been in, I got a "Top 10" at one and nothing at the other. To give you an idea of what cars won a "Best In Class" - one was a nice black Cobra coupe with a...
