I was wondering what most people are using to apply their sealants by hand. I have MF applicator pads and foam pads. I know the foam pads are great for waxing, but what about applying a sealant? My bottle of 4* UPP says to apply two dime size drops to a foam pad. I always just assumed the...

Okay, so I know this is a lame topic, but am I just imagining things, or do these two smell IDENTICAL? I haven't used the UGE yet, but the Sonus was one of my favorite QDs. Okay, I feel better now :woot:

I am used to doing proper prep for applying a sealant, as I never got real big into carnaubas (although they are starting to interest me more and more). I always polish (abrasive if necessary) to remove swirls and get as close to a perfect finish as possible by varying pads/abrasiveness. Then...

Just wanted to point out that Autogeek is running this promotion right now. What's the deal lately? They have been running some amazing deals over there. Now is the time to buy if you want Souveran. :woot: The extra jar would make a great gift.... tis almost the season you know.

I am going to order Natty's Blue and was wondering which of these two sealants would be best under it on my dark metallic blue GTO. I'm too lazy to search, and am in a hurry. What are the pros and cons of each? If I'm going to be topping with a carnauba, I assume I would want the EX. If...

This is always interesting to me, seeing what kinds of cars interest people and their progression through different vehicles. I'll start off. 1994 Ford F-150 1998 Mustang GT 2000 Camaro SS 2001 GMC Sierra 2001 Grand Am GT - school car 2002 Corvette Coupe 2003 SVT Cobra 2004 Corvette...

I've got the itch to try some new products, so I'm going to give UPP a try on one of my cars. I am going to polish with Optimum, prep with AIO, then seal probably two or three times with UPP, possibly adding a layer of carnauba down the road. My question is this. I always, no matter how...

You gotta get a Concours Buffing Towel. This thing makes removing any sealant/wax a breeze and it's oh so soft. I actually look forward to removing my Zaino now.. it's no longer a chore. :bigups on this towel.

I just ordered some 4* UPP and Optimum Polish. I am going to try these products out together and was wondering if a coat of Klasse AIO would be beneficial after the Optimum and before the UPP. It seems it would be best applied directly over the freshly polished surface for proper bonding, but...

Yes, I know, it's not a Z06 with 505 hp, but I can't swing a $70K car right now. Plus, I really like the removable targa roof on the coupe, and 400 hp is nothing to scoff at. I am still torn between Machine Silver, Monterey Red, and Lemans Blue, all of which are metallic. I am going with...

Considering I will be using a PC7424, polishing pad/cutting pad. For general swirl cutting/polishing, what is the most user friendly polish? I am interested in Z-PC Fusion, PB SSR1 and SSR2.5, Menzerna IP and FPII. Are there others that are better that I am not aware of?

I got an order in today from Autogeek consisting of Poorboys World Wheel Sealant, Spray and Wipe, Bug Squash, and the Pinnacle bug and tar sponge. My GTO was slightly dusty as it was washed Monday evening, QD'd yesterday with Z6, and driven around town for about 30 minutes. It was about 95...

I e-mailed Sal this morning about my ZFX being dried up after only about 6 months. I told him it had been stored in a heated garage (never below 50 degrees and never extreme heat either) and stored in the original dropper, tightly sealed, and stored in the 2 ounce plastic bottle, also tightly...

I was wondering if anybody had used either of these two products to maintain shine over Z2Pro. I currently use QEW then Z6 when I want to shine up the GTO without having to use a traditional wash. I currently have a lot of Adam's Detail Spray that I LOVE and used over WG before I switched back...

I know it can be used between every coat, but that seems like overkill. I know you can apply up to 3 layers back to back in a 24 hour period. But how often should you throw some ZFX into the mix? I'm talking time wise. I know Sal recommends no more than 10 coats before adding ZFX to an...

I always wonder if it's okay to wash my CBT's with my microfiber towels. I know you should wash the MF's separately from other towels, but I just don't see the CBT linting too much onto the MF's. It seems silly to do one load of laundry for just one or two CBT's, as that's all I use (all the...

I just used my Eurow sheepskin wash mit for the first time today, and forgot to read the washing recommendations. What's the best way to wash one of these suckers?

I'm going to start my Zaino process in a few days and I have been running it over in my head. I have not used the ZFX before so I'm a little confused on how often I have to use this stuff. After the prep, I'm going to apply a few coats of Z5 with ZFX. I'll start with an ounce (half the...

I am going to be polishing via PC with SSR2.5 and SSR1 in about a week. I only have two polishing pads right now, and one of them is pretty well caked with AIO. I was wondering if it would be wise to go ahead and use the same white polishing pad for the 2.5 and then turn around and use the...

When does this madness end?! I just HAD to try Adam's Detail Spray... and while I'm at it, why not some of his VRT and Carpet Cleaner? :o
