This product applies very easily-like greasing a pan. It removes with a moderate amount of effort. It leaves a clear, glossy finish. I didn't detect any darkening ability. Beading started to break down at roughly 4 weeks so durability isn't it's strongest attribute. I'd reccomend using it as a...

I don't know if you guys remember but I did Bglmn's vette a while ago and then did his van or should I say bus shortly after. I deleted the links since they didn't work. Well jack stops in to see me once in a while and happened to stop in today to drop off a bag of bagel for us (Thanks...

After 12 washings Klasse was 8th with a 0.68% loss of gloss and Zaino was 14th with a 1.30% loss in gloss. Resistence to corrosion Klasse was in the 5 catagory and Zaino was in the 1 catagory out of 6. No. 1 catagory was - excellent, little or no rust whereas 5 was Bad, more rust than the...

Zaino Clear Seal (CS) This past October I attended a Corvette Show in New York. Sal Zaino was at the show, and I had a chance to meet him in person. After a half-hour chat two things stood out; Sal has a passion for cars and his product line up. He’s a human database of information. I couldn’t...

What new products do you want to see? I'd like someone to invent a perma-clear coat that fills marring/scratches permanently but applies like a sealant.

I picked up some Megs NXT glass cleaner on discount at Kmart. This stuff is really good. Wipes and doesn't smear-at least with a microfiber. I like it better than Invisible Glass. Only problem is Megs has it priced too high for the average consumer to buy. If they lowered the price they'd sell more.

check your local kmarts for dicounted items. I got NXT wash for $3 and NXT glass cleaner for $1.50.

I bought a rotary that had a side handle and 3 mounting positions-1 being on top. I decided to fab up a mount for the top hole as I thought the long handle on top would be awkward. While a round ball might be the most ideal, I used what I had available-a hockey puck. I drilled a hole in it...

I wonder if the process of bleaching carnauba doesn't weaken it. PS is reknown for poor durability and other carnaubas tend to fair better. Opinions?

I was talking to a body supply shop manager yesterday and he told me why factory paint jobs have such horrible orange peel. He said that on the factory line they want the paint to dry fast so that it goes out the door as fast as possible. This fast dry time prevents the paint from flowing and...

I've noticed that a lot of the rotary backing plates are listed as 7 inches and are intended for use with the 8.5 inch pads. Even if you find one 6.5 inches it still doesn't leave any room for error if using a 6.5 inch pad. I found a 4.5 inch backing plate at a local welding supply store. It...

with the harder clears becoming more common for newer model cars is the PC going to become obsolete?

18 LED work light for $15 (I think this would be good for viewing swirls) 1.5 million candlepower hallogen light- $10 cordless reciprocating saw- $29 portable workstation-forget the price

picked these up on a whim and found that I rather like them. They effectively spread spray products like Z8 or AW. They may work well for cleaning windows as well. They also work well at removing easily removed sealants. I'm not sure they'd be the best choice for carnaubas as those may need a...

First off-this stuff stinks-ok, it doesn't smell that good. They claim it doesn't remove "durable polishes" and it hasn't harmed my Zaino. It is effective at removing hard water deposits and airborn contaminents that sometimes evade mild carwashes. If you've got water issues it's worth buying.

Interface Science What Makes Silicones Special? Silicones are the only organic/inorganic hybrid polymers that have been extensively commercialized. This is true for several important reasons. The organic portion in poly(dimethylsiloxane) or PDMS – by far the most common silicone polymer –...

What are your opinions on ZPC vs the Menzerna lineup. Especially FP2 and IP.

backing plates. Does it make a difference? The solid backed plastes have about 1/2 inch of foam on them plus the pad.

has anyone used these style MF cloths? I think they'd be good for glass cleaning or QD application-maybe even Z8 and AW.
