I'm not bashing the product at all, just thought it looked kind of interesting. It's been sitting less than a day.

Ok so my car was finished yesterday (1Z PP w/yellow cutting pad, VM with white polishing pad, and EX-P with a finishing pad), and I was wondering if I could apply another layer of EX-P? Will this stuff layer like Zaino or no? (I'm not looking to go apply 9 coats, just 1 :P)

Ok so far I did my hood, and all I have to say is I'm in heaven. LOL I love this thing. I used 1Z PP with a yellow CMA cutting pad set at 5 and did it in 2x2' sections with back-and-forth and up-and-down overlapping motions.

My CMA pad kit came today, and it comes with 2 terry bonnets for buffing. Are they safe to use? They don't feel soft at all, and I'm not sure if I'd feel comfortable using them on freshly polished paint. They feel very rough, and I wanted to get your opinions on them first. Also, the lambswool...

So I just got home after picking up a bottle of Eagle One WET car wash, I pull the car into the garage, and my dad is standing there doing something. I get out, say hey and stuff. He takes my wheel brush and goes "is this for dusting off your rear bumper?" (the car was pretty dirty) I laughed...

I just ordered VM + EX-P (darn you, Scottwax! :rofl), and want to know what QD I should use to keep it looking nice between washes. Right now, all I have is Eagle One WAUD (I guess we can consider it a QD on steroids), and Zaino Z-6. Will Z6 work, or no? Are there any good QD's that can be...

So my PC should be here anyday now, so if I have to pick up any extra products, it has to be ASAP. Lately I've noticed swirls popping up here and there...not too major, but still enough to bug me. I plan on doing the whole car with 1Z PP and an orange pad. After this, I'm not sure what I should...

I ordered the PC kit from coastaltool.com earlier, and I ordered the pad kit from CMA w/o the velcro backing plate. Was I supposed to get the backing plate or no? Should I cancel the order? Please let me know ASAP!

How many pads should I get if I (finally) order the PC today? 2 of each? (orange, white, grey) If I wanted to apply Zaino with a grey pad, will 1 be enough? Or will i need 2? Will 1 orange pad be enough, or will 1 get caked up?

Ok, so I have a $25 gift card to advance auto that I want to use up, so on the way home tomorrow I'm going to pick up whatever I'll need. I already have 303 for the dash, I just need something for the floor mats, seats, and carpet. I have a shop vac too if that matters, so feel free to make any...

I need help! I went to go install my new MBA hand polished camaro inserts, and the old ones don't want to come off!!! It's a big gooey mess :sosad

I currently have 3 layers of Zaino Z-5/ZFX on my car, and I'm getting the urge to wax it. I know that #16 has no cleaners in it, but are there any negative effects in doing this? When #16 wears off, will Zaino still be there beading water, or will it affect the durability of Zaino?

This is from an e-mail directly from Sal Zaino himself. So, for those of you who were wondering what the shelf life is on your Zaino but don't want the wrong info, here it is: "When stored in a cool dry place. Avoiding extreme > heat or cold. Shelf > Life is as follows. > > Z-1 For...

I haven't found too many threads mentioning this, and I've been curious to know. Are there any negative effects to using Eagle One Wax-As-U-Dry over Zaino? Z6 is pretty damn expensive at $19 a bottle ($10 + shipping), and I've used WAUD on a waxed finish before, but never Zaino. If I get bored...

I got the gold kit and 2 blue 16x24's. They're very soft and plush...I could barely even see the backing when they came out of the washing machine. They're pretty dry now.

Hey everyone, I currently have 2 Zaino Z-18 clay bars, and they seem like they don't perform nearly as good as my Meguiar's one did. When I use these, the surface isn't incredibly smooth like it was when I used the Meguiar's bar. I mean, it's smooth, but it was much smoother when I used...

I saw this thread: http://www.autopia.org/forums/showthread.php?s=&threadid=38656 and decided to go pick one up. I washed my car when I came home, and it works great...it has rubber all around the edges which help alot in not scratching your wheels, and fits in your hand very nicely. It...

I left my car at wal-mart parked all the way in the back in a shady spot for a half hour, and well, when I got back, I counted a total of 12 splatters of bird crap. I just got home, and the sun is very strong, so I'm just going to wait 2 hours or so and I'll wash it. Is this okay? My paint won't...

Anyone here dilute their Zaino Z6? I have about 1/3-1/2 left now, and was wondering if I should fill it up with water to about 3/4. I've heard of people doing it, but I don't want to ruin the stuff.
