I was looking through some old pictures from last year, and found this. It was taken after the car was sitting outside through a light drizzle. This is with a few coats of Zaino. :)

I'm thinking about getting a car cover even though most of the time my car is garage kept. My dad always leaves the garage door opened half the time and it really pisses me off because they're doing construction (building a house) across the street, and it always makes my car dusty. I don't want...

This is my friend's car. Here's what was done to it.... 1. Wash with dawn 2. Clay 3. Z2 x2 Here's a pic after dawn wash:

This is on the rear bumper of my friend's 1997 Mustang Cobra. Is this oxidation? Can it be buffed out? If so, what will it take? TIA -Matt

Did this all by hand....swirls? GONE. Here's what I did.... Washed with Z7 car wash, clayed the car for about 2 hours to make sure I got everything (Z18 claybar, Z7/water as lube). Went over the whole car with 1Z PP.....that took awhile. Had some swirls on some spots, went over them with 3M...

Ok, so one time I was on the phone with Sal, and he told me that the color of my car (dark polo green) can actually get hotter in the sun than black. This doesn't make sense to me because black absorbs more. What do you guys think about this? Has anyone ever done a test on a dark green car vs. a...

Looks like the mod bug is biting me again, and my money is going towards a nitrous kit instead of a PC. I've used 1Z PP by hand, and it doesn't get my swirls out completely. I also have what looks like minor pitting on the hood only, and some water stains as well. I'm looking to pick up a...

I'm getting my PC in less than 3 weeks. I'm going to hold off on waxing until then... I'm going to get an orange pad, 2 white pads, and 1 finishing pad I was thinking I would go over the whole car and get out all of the swirls and water stains with 1Z PP, then follow up with 3M SMR. Is it...

Awhile ago I was talking to Sal Zaino on the phone, discussing why Zaino doesn't last on my paint. He told me to use 3M Swirl Mark Remover part #39009 on my car, then Z5/ZFX directly over it. I did that, and it seemed to last longer, but that's besides the point. Every time 3M SMR is mentioned...

Why is it that NOTHING lasts on my paint?!!? Zaino lasts about 2 months if I'm lucky. 2 weeks ago I did a coat of Glanz wax and 2 coats of Meguiar's #16. Yesterday we had some rain, and the car was dirty so today I washed it. Last time I washed the car it was beading like crazy and I was totally...

My birthday is coming up soon, and I don't know what to get.....there's not really anything else in the price range of a PC, some pads and some polish that I can get for my car. I have some scratches on the front and rear bumpers, some rock chips on the hood which I can't do anything about other...

I heard some good stuff about it lately, so today I picked up a 32oz bottle of it. Gave my car a thorough rinse since it wasn't dirty at all, just had a little dust. This stuff is very easy to use, and left the surface VERY slick....then I went over it with Zaino Z6 gloss enhancer spray in case...

Got some from Discount Auto Parts...free after mail in rebate so how could you go wrong? :) I used it on one of my tires....if you don't wipe it, it kinda just sits there, so I sprayed it on, wiped it after a minute and it left a really nice looking satin finish. Just thought I would...

How many layers of #16 can you put on before it stops layering? I have 2 coats on now on top of 1Z Glanz wax and man it looks incredible. -Matt

http://www.nealsharbor.com/Merchant2/merchant.mvc?Screen=PROD&Store_Code=nealsharbor&Product_Code=W109&Category_Code=waxmaster I have that same one....it's actually my dad's. I plan on getting a PC within the next month. I've used that buffer and it seems like I can get the same results by...

Ok so I picked up a tin of this stuff today. When I got home, I did my fender and my door over the 1Z Glanz wax which I applied 2 days ago. It doesn't seem as slick as Glanz, and it was INSANELY hard to remove! It also got residue everywhere. Is this normal? I applied it thin to some spots and...

Washed with Eagle One WET, and did a coat of 1Z Glanz wax.

How long as this stuff lasted for you guys? Can I use it to top Glanz? This stuff seems really good, and if it will last more than a month for me, I'll buy some.

I've been hearing mixed reactions toward using Dawn dishwashing liquid to wash the car as a prep before detailing. Some say it's :eek: harmful, while others say it works fine and won't damage the paint (like Sal Zaino, he recommended it to me and others to use before Zaino'ing) What do YOU...
