    Deep, wet look on dark blue metallic?

    I'm going to try AIO/NXT first and see if I like the combination. I'm not too worried about durability, as it is my personal car and will be getting plenty of attention. What would be a good sealant to use that will result in a crystal clear, wet, reflective finish? I was thinking...

    QD for use on carnauba?

    I currently have Pinnacle Crystal Mist and love the stuff, but would like to add some others to my collection. What are some QD's that are geared more for use with Souveran, #16, S100, etc?

    LSP on dark blue metallic?

    I have a 2005 GTO on order in Midnight Blue Metallic. I currently have K-Twins, Zaino, Souveran, #16, S100, and NXT. I am considering EX-P as a sealant as well, but I don't have any as of now. I will probably use AIO, then a couple of layers of SG, then either NXT, S100, or Souveran...

    How much protection does AIO offer by itself?

    I currently prep with SSR1, then AIO, then top with NXT and maybe a carnauba if I feel like it. I was just wondering, out of curiosity, how much protection AIO offers as a stand alone product. I know it's cleaning abilities are great for prep work, but how much of an AIO is it really, with...

    Sealant before NXT?

    I really love the way NXT looks, and certainly plan on using it on my red car, as it is so easy to use and I can add more as I please, so durability isn't too much of a concern. I am a little unsure if there is a place or need for a sealant in my current regime with regards to using the NXT...

    What to use to polish billet aluminum?

    Here's my dilemma: I own a Harley-Davidson V-Rod. The wheels are solid discs, and are aluminum. They have very small circular grooves the entire diameter of the wheel that give them a unique look. My bike has only got a hair over 2000 miles on it, and the wheels are already stained, and...

    Any chance of Klasse AIO going away?

    With the new VOC standards and such? This is one product I can't do without. I could live without the SG, but I think AIO is such an integral part in preparation for the LSP. What other products are out there like it? It's so easy to use and very consistent. I really hope this one stays...

    Harley-Davidson fans --->

    Harley just introduced two new bikes. First and foremost, an addition to the VRSC family, called the Street Rod. Basically a canyon carving V-Rod with less rake and mid controls. There's also a new (but not really) Sportster 883R. This model has been seen before, but has just been...

    Advice on pre-NXT/Zaino/Klasse polish?

    I'm looking for a general purpose polish (abrasive, not chemical) to use prior to NXT, Klasse, or Zaino. I am thinking something in the Poorboy's line up, Menzerna, Sonus, or Meguiars, but am open to suggestions. It will be used on my new Dodge Ram that has minor blemishes and swirling, but...

    Getting new red truck. Nervous about using NXT

    I recently ordered a 2005 quad cab Dodge Ram Laramie in Flame Red. It will be my daily driver, but will be garaged at night. On my last red car, I used Zaino and loved the look, but I think for a vehicle of this size, Zaino will be too much work, plus that car was not a daily driver, so...

    When does NXT Speed Detailer come out?

    I am really looking forward to using this product. It will be great for those times when I do not have a coat of #16 over the NXT for touch ups. Anybody know when the release date is?

    Difference between #16 and #26?

    I'm about to order one or the other for use on top of Klasse or Zaino on my silver car. What are the differences between the two?

    Product needed after 1ZPP, before AIO?

    The only paint polish I have is 1ZPP. I use it once every couple of months to rejuvinate the paint, as AIO will not remove swirls or etching. My question is: Would I benefit from an intermediate product to use after the 1ZPP but before the application of AIO, or would such a product be...

    Which polish is right for me?

    I would like a polish to apply via PC prior to AIO, NXT, Zaino, or Klasse. I switch back and forth between those sealants for the most part. I haven't had very good luck with 1ZPP, as I find it hard to work with. I am thinking something in the Poorboy's line, but I'm not sure which one(s)...

    Swirl remover prior to AIO?

    I know this has been discussed a few times before, but I would like to get some new opinions, and maybe some verification of what I already feel I should try. Basically, I am curious as to what swirl remover some of you recommend for use prior to AIO, which I will be topping with NXT. It...

    Preface: http://www.autopia.org/forums/showthread.php?s=&threadid=42941 Basically, I am fanatical about keeping my car clean. However, no matter what all I have tried, I always feel like it is missing something, and never looks quite like I would like it to. I have tried the Klasse twins...

    Trials and tribulations of a black car owner

    Well folks, after having tried several different combinations on my black G35 Coupe, I have arrived at a place I would have never thought possible several months ago. I began by using Zaino on my baby. I didn't really have anything against it, I just wanted to try something different. So, I...

    Klasse Twins and swirls

    So I have a black car, there's problem number one. Problem number two is that I'm quite anal about it, otherwise, I probably wouldn't be here, right? My problem is trying to hide swirls while using the Klasse products. I recently used 1ZPP with a PC, then AIO, then SG. THere are still...

    1ZPP enough to remove water spot etching?

    I'm planning on picking up a PC here within a couple of weeks because I have a bad case of water spot etching on my black car. I tried to 1ZPP by hand, but it didn't quite do the trick to remove the etching, so since I wanted a PC anyways, I thought this would be a good time to get one. My...
