I have a Passat to do Friday that has a few scratches that are felt with a fingernail and I told him I could mask them a bit but not get them out. The rest is mild swirls from auto car wash brush washing so I think I will try DACP with a white pad ( Yellow pad where necessary ) as I don't want...

This wet and deep enough? #16 on Zaino.

I have a small sample of Sonus QD and really liked it over the Klasse but I have topped it with #16 . Has anyone used Sonus QD over #16 and if so .. the results? or should I stick with Final Detailer.

I may have the opportunity to do a 67 GTO that was painted last year and never driven. The paint I'm not concerned with but the black vinyl roof is in good shape but has the typical residue in it. Not wax but a whitish off black. What would be good to address this . Would the Woolite...

First experience with #82 .. went well .. Jetta was a 24/7 driver but well kept .. very few swirls at all. Clayed then used #82 on a white pad and was suprised how easy it wiped down with a small MF. Applied NXT per usual with my cordless orbital the buffed it off with the PC on 3 with a...

I near had a heart attack today .. Some how I inherited a fine scratch in my trunk and the VW paint is very hard .. I tried Menzerna FP then IP with little luck so I moved on to DACP and a yellow pad on 5.5. It pulled the scratch ok but left a little *common* DACP/Yellpw pad hazing. Welllll from...

As you know from a previous thread I topped Zaino with #16. The #16 gave the depth and softness I was looking for .. Now here is the BUT.... The next day I noticed a haze on the surface ( viewed at at 90 degrees "angle" in the sun)so I thought a wash would clear it up .. it didn't. So the...

Finally got to do more than a Cavallier .. Scott eat your heart out .. 2000 325i garage queen that had never been detailed or waxed before. It didn't look bad but the before pix didn't show the swirls etc so I dumped them . I did the following; 1) Wash 2) Clayed with...

I have completed my Zaino program on all the car but the hood Menzerna IP where needed Menzerna FP all over AIO cuz I wanted too Z5 x 3 Z2 x 3 Got the typical Zaino glassie shine. I'm not a great believers in toppers but the talk of #16 ( non-boutique item ) kind...

I have experience with #26 and lots on the shelf but with my black car and the summer heat here I find it tends to suffer from meltdown and have an oily / greasy appearance at times. I am looking to possibly using #16 as a topper for the Zaino/Sg I am playing with. 1) How does #16...

Sorry I don't have any before pix when we pulled the car in my temp garage it was pouring rain and the truck had a wet look to it.;) Anyway the paint was badly oxidzed and totally dead with no shine at all. Last wax was over a year ago and washings are maybe monthly. I used a yellow...

Last year I used Zaino and was happy *but* true to form like a lot of us here I like to try different things. Well I went with the Klasses twins to see if I like the finish and I do. BUT I don't know if it is my imagination but does anyone else who has used both find that Klasse SG mars a lot...

I know this isn't detailing but it does shine. Lowered my car yesterday .. dropped it close to 2" all round Before After Previous rear wheel gap ( my experiment with wheel well dressing )

For those that suffer from water hiding in door handles .. under chrome and around lights and and it dribbles out later while driving or waxing and you don't have a compressor to blow it out try this. Its not 100% but any water you can eliminate is a plus. Go to the local hardware...

Thats right another Cavallier!!!!! This car belongs to a 70+ couple down the street and they got it a month ago. They were showing it off to me and I said soon as it warms we will wax it. They said no need .. as they paid $350 for a special treatment already. That afternoon I washed...

The manufactures of Waffle Weave Towels and Depends have formed a new partnership. The purpose is to develope a product suitable for older Autopians who still want to dry thier cars ... You know the rest. 1/4/04

I can only take partial credit for this .. This car belongs to a woman I know whos full detailing knowledge was a wash bucket and a rag up till last fall when I did her car for her. I showed her how to detail the windows/tires etc and how to clay. Last week I gave her a small piece of...

I made my own applicators. Not that I am cheap .. well maybe . But .. I wanted something a little smaller and firmer for applying Zaino/SG etc. What I did was find a 12 x 12 +/- MF towel that wouldn't scratch and folded it and cut it into pocket size pieces that would fit over 3...

If AIO is applied then SG and assuming SG is a pure sealant and contains no oils or waxes Z5 ( CW ZFX ) should be able to layer right over the SG? Right?? Then go back to SG after Z5 x 3?

Here is a pix of my new light. Reflective properties supplied by Menzerna twins and Klasse twins. Detailing done today. I couldn't afford a mirror
