So I am here in SD and my car is getting pretty nasty. Dust everywhere, huge water spots all over the car and brake dust covering the entire wheels. To my dismay, I left all my cleaning products at my parents house in LA. I can't wait another week to wash my car, so instead of going to the...

So, I ordered #16 from Meguiars awhile ago and I check the box today and they sent my NXT Paste Wax on accident. I was wondering if I should just keep it or send it back for some #16? What are your guys' opinions on which of the two is a better product? Thanks

For example, you top your car with S100, and then Meg's #16 on top of the S100. Would this work, or any other combo? Or would the top most wax take away qualities from the wax below it? thanks.

I live in Southern California. Where can I look (yellow pages, online directory, etc) to find a detail supply store locally, so I can buy stuff like Klasse, Sonus, etc?

So, I plan to fully detail my G35 next weekend. But I am thinking to myself what do I do when I just want to touch up after a wash. All I have are liquid sealants, glaze and polishes. The only wax I have is S100, but thats used for a topper only. My detail plans: Wash Clay Wash FPII...

Just got a bottle today and was wondering if I could use it metal, specifically chrome? Thanks.

I'm going to detail my RX300 tomorrow and I was wondering if this was ok: Wash - Zaino Clay - Zaino Polish - Meg's #80 Wax - NXT Wax - Mother's Carnuba Cleaner Wax I don't know if NXT should come after Mother's or I should just get rid of one of the wax's steps, since both have...

I have some deep scratches that IP did not get out. I was wondering how effective Power Gloss would be when using it with a PC? Has anyone tried it and if so, what are you're results/experiences? Thanks. Btw, does anyone know where I could get a smaller version of the 32oz Power Gloss CMA...

If so, do you like it?

Hi guys. I bought a kit from CMA and it came with a couple of pads. The most aggressive being an orange pad. I detailed a beater last night starting with some FPII with a white pad, which got out about 80% of the swirls and scratches. I tried going over it again several times, but each...

What are some of the products you guys use on chrome? I think you can't use regular wax and polish (Menzerna) on metallic trim, true?

I seem to have lost my bottle of ZFX, so I was wondering how I approach putting on the Z2 differently. The only thing that comes to mind is that without the ZFX, the Z2 will take longer to dry and haze. So I am assuming I just let it sit longer? Is this true? If so, how long do I let the...

Getting cold feet about using FP and a PC together. I am new at using a PC and just orered the full line of Menzerna products to detail my car. So I was wondering can it be done by PC effectively? Someone said on another thread that FP & IP were meant to be used by rotary. True? Should I...

I was wondering if there was anything similar to this type of sealant/wax that I could buy locally or from autopia thats cheaper. The main reason I am not buying this is because I thinks it way too overpriced. So, I need some type of sealent to put on after the Menzerna FP and Glaze. I was...

I live in so-cal and wanted to know if there were any places or stores around the LA/SD area that sell Menzerna products. Thanks guys.;)

Which pads are better quality and just better in general?

Hi. I am a real noob when it comes to machine polishing and buffing. I think that the Porter Cable 7424 is the best polisher for a newbie like me, am I right? The cheapest I have seen this for is $119. Does anyone know a better place where I could get it? I guess this polisher doesnt...

I have heard so many good things about S100 topped over Zaino that I really want to try it on my G. I plan on waxing my car this weekend, so I am trying to find the S100 Paste Wax locally. Does anyone know where I can pick one up? Kragens, Autozone, etc? Thanks.

I just bought the mothers clay bar system and it came with a 4oz bottle of Mothers Carnuba Cleaner Wax. Is suggests that after I clay my car I apply the Carnuba Cleaner Wax. If I do this and then apply Meguires NXT Wax on top of the Carnuba, will it bond properly? Or should I just skip the...
