The debate continues and I would like to add another product to my detailing arsenal. I'm a long time Zaino user and prefer the "wet looking" finish as opposed to the "shiny" appearance. Will Klasse High Gloss Sealant give me that wet look fininsh ? Do I have to use the Acrylic QD or can...

Hi all, I wanted to get your feedback on using my PC to remove z2 using a microfiber bonnet. do you have a preferred speed setting ? I'm assuming blasting away with 5 or 6 :D did it turn out better than remvoing it by hand ? is it myth or reality that once its done, going over it again...

Hi all, As promised here are some before and after shots of my dad's car's trunk lid. It had some pretty bad scratches on the trunk lid. I used 3M Fine Cut , then 3M SMR. I'm not entirely ecstatic, but it's a good phase 1 of 2. I think if I had a better cutting pad, my results would have...

Hi all, I do have some examples of some bad scratches of my dad's car. He's got some bad scratches on his trunk. I most certainly am going to use my PC 7424 but my question is : For bad scratches do I use a product like Menzerma IP, Meguiar's PPC, or 3M Fine Cut and then 3M SMR ...

I have inherited a black car that has improper use of 3M swirl remover. I don't know if any clear coat is left ? The black is now "grey ish" in colour. How can I re-surrect this finish ? The only thing I have is Zaino, but I think this is gone beyond Zaino'ng ? What can be done now ? I...

I've just had a suggestion from a guy. He applies his z5, then z6, then z2, then some more z6, then for his final coat he uses z2 but lets his z2 layer sit overnight "curing" and then next morning he removes it with PC then re-applies z6 and then buffs with MF towel pad and he claims this...

I was suggested this: Substituting a PC 7424 with 3M SMR as opposed to Zaino's clay bar. anyone doing this ? thanks

Hi all, Well I did yet another test today between z6 and s100 Q&D NOTE: I have mulitple coats of z2, z5 and s100 paste on my car. 1 MF towel was used for each. I found the z6 produced little or no swirl marks, where as the s100 produced a whole wack of "very fine" ones but you...

Hi all, I still cannot get access to this info, but want to know if anyone knows what Pit Crews in F1 use to shine the cars (chassis, front nose cones, back engine covers, etc etc.) before the start of Grand Prix's ? Cuz those panels look WET !! (almost like my zaino'd car) :D I don't...
