Well, after receiving my HUGE 4 oz. FREE samples, I decided I should go ahead and test them!!!:D First off, this was done on the right front fender of our 95 Astro. To prepare the surface, and to strip whatever was on there, I used Einszett Paint Polish(a little stronger than the Metallic...

:bounce Hey everybody. Our neighbor has a 1990 Honda Civic. Paint's in terrible condition(surface feels like sandpaper:( ). Anyways, they want to get it repainted. They're keeping the car, so they want something that'll last. I'll be detailing it for them after the repaint.:D They look like...

:( My cousin parked too close to my car today and left a big ding(well, not huge...) in my right fender. The part that made me mad was that she never even told me!:mad: So, what I would like help with is, what kind of things should I look for in a body shop for dent removal???:nixweiss...

Hey, I was just wondering if the WHOLE line of BF products was reformulated, or just the Protectant???:nixweiss I was just wondering, because if I want to try BF next summer, I want to know about the wash. I remember it being really harsh, and hurting the BF shine and durability.:nono...

Hey guys, Well, I got antsy, so to half of my Einszett-ed hood I applied Einszett Metallic Polish(love that stuff:D ), and then my sample of Platinum UPP. I found the UPP pretty hard to buff off.:( I had to use the Platinum QD to finish buffing... Anyways, here are my latest pics after a...

Well, this isn't that urgent, but I'd like to know for once Einszett finally dies on me(5 weeks+3 washes and still going strong!;) ). As many know, rubbing alcohol is the only 'true' way(nonabrasive) to get a polymer like Einszett or Zaino off. My question is, what's the correct way to do...

Well, Just got through with 4 hrs. of detailing the '95 Astro. Whew!:shocked I dawn washed x2 Zaino Z2+ZFX x1 and Mothers Chrome Polish on the windows(works great, by the way!;) ) This should 'winterize' it, seeing as how it is somewhat neglected(compared to my PT:D ) I took...

:D Well, I put my samples to use on the hood of the PT(previously Zaino on there)... First of all, I used their Metallic Polish(for new or like-new paint) and I LOVE it!!!!!:bounce Very easy to apply/buff and leaves a great shine. It is now #1 on my polish list... Then, I applied a...

Well, when Autopia was down, I got antsy and decided to try my Gold Class on the front fenders of the PT(never tried it on this car before!)... Well...I must say I was impressed, especially for the price, and the fact that it's a one-step product. It gave me a great wet look that was very...

Just curious about people's thoughts on this... I personally can't tell a difference...:rolleyes: :wavey

Well, I actually bought it. Glad I did, as it's very informative about a lot of products I've been curious about, but wanted some more input before actually buying them.:D BTW, Zaino was number 1!!!!:D I just posted this so that if anyone wanted the ratings of a certain wax, they could...

Well, I looked at the pics of the cars, and I was like, 'any Autopian could get those results or BETTER!' Their super-expensive cars don't look any better than our daily drivers! Except, of course, for that 'best of show' winner!:xyxthumbs It just makes me think more highly of the shine on...

Well, I took forrest's advice(thanks again:xyxthumbs ) and bought some Mothers Chrome Polish. After I cleaned them with EO A2Z, I applied a thin coat to each wheel with EO Finger Pocket applicators. I buffed off with a cotton towel after letting it dry to a haze, as per directions.:D Pros...

Hello all, As I've been itching to try, I went and topped the 2 layers of Z2 that was on the Astro with 2 coats of Mothers Pure Carnauba Wax. Now I know this isn't highly recommended(that's why it was on the Astro:D ), but the results speak for themselves. Although the Zaino's reflectivity was...

I bought this stuff a while ago, and finally decided to try it out on our 95 Astro Van. I was a little disappointed with this product. Why? Well, here are some sore points: -difficult to spread/apply(used a lot of product for the surface area) -difficult to remove(hazes really hard)...

I'd like to hear what Autopians do to keep their wheels looking like new! For example, which products do you use and how often do you use them?:nixweiss I currently use EO A2Z Aerosol before each wash(weekly), followed by either TW Brake Dust Barrier(it's discontinued!:D ) or Rain-x Wheel...

I just finished detailing my grandma's 1999 Lincoln Continental with this stuff(the paint had never been deep-cleaned or waxed!:eek: ) and I got a sample bottle with my clay kit! This is from a Zaino user, but I must admit I was surprised by the ease of application/removal. It went on pretty...

Well, I'm back from vacation, well, not really a vacation...I was at a Youth Medical Forum at UC Berkeley...:rolleyes: Anyways, it's good that the forum's back up and running! I was going through withdrawal...:D Has anyone been to the zymol site in awhile?? Well, if you check their "New...

Royale Wax $7300.99 :shocked Holy cow! I couldn't believe that price! According to Zymol, it contains 68-70% white no.1 carnauba by volume. And folks, NO REFILLS on this one.:rolleyes: You have GOT to be kidding me on this one! It's only eight ounces and no refills...sorry, I'm still...

Well, I just got my first detail job(for money). I'll be doing my neighbor's 2002 Audi A4. It's Ming Blue and look's great! Anyway, I was planning on using Meguiar's BSP Hand Polish on it, followed by a wax. Question is, can I use Gold Class over HP?? I'm not exactly sure if it is a quote...
