Did anybody else buy the Edge Pads at Premiumautocare.com for 50% off? I bought two blue polishing & a white finishing pad. I used one of the blue ones a couple of times and the edges are already breaking up. It doesn't hurt the effectiveness of the pad, but it does make me wonder about the...

Just curious. Sal Zaino is the president of Zaino Brothers and the only person I ever hear mentioned. Who's the other brother?:confused:

Exactly one month ago, I cleaned & prepped my mom's E320 with a polishing followed by some 3M IHG and then I put on two coats of NXT with the recommended 24 hour waiting period in between. I then topped off with one coat of 3M Perfect It Show Car Paste Wax. The car gleamed like it never did...

Are there really any differences between the clay bars I can pick up at Autozone & Advance Auto (I.E. Clay Magic & Mother's) and the more expensive ones online? (E.G. Blackfire Polyclay, Pinnacle, etc.)

I was at autogeek.net and came across Souveran Liquid with a technical note at the bottom. It said that you don't get as much depth with liquid waxes as opposed to paste waxes. (except for Souveran Liquid, of course!) Is that really true or is it just their way of getting you to buy Souveran...

I will be getting my Klasse twins in the mail real soon. I was planning on it putting on after using the last of my 3M SMR underneath it. AIO will not remove the 3M stuff, will it?

Will I get better results with the S100 Shine Enhancing Cleanser by using a PC? The instructions say use hand applicator, blah, blah, blah. I'm wondering if the PC will work it in better.

Can Z2Pro go right on top of FP II without any washing in between or do I HAVE TO USE Z7 in between every single step before applying Z2Pro with ZFX? I just bought some FP II & AIO and was wondering if Z2Pro can go right on top. I just don't have the time to wash my car between every single...

Is there a difference between Blackfire and Four Star Ultimate Paint Protection. I was reading the description of the Four Star at Premium Auto Care and it sounded almost exactly like Blackfire. Any ideas? Was just curious.:confused:

I just put two coats of Blackfire on my car (Nighthawk Black Pearl Acura TL-S) today and I'm planning on putting two or three more coats tomorrow. I'm debating on whether I should top it off with a carnauba or not. If I do, it will probably be S100 or Meguiar's #26, but I'll entertain any and...

I recently bought a Porter Cable 7336 for polishing and waxing my cars, but before I knew better, I used one of those cheap 10" orbital buffers you can get for about $20 at Walmart. I'm sure the PC is superior to the orbital buffer, but I was wondering if I can still use the orbital for...

Which is more aggressive? 3M Medium Cut Rubbing Compound, or Menzerna Intensive Polish? I have some water spot etchings on my car and I already tried the 3M with an Orange pad. Didn't seem to do anything. I have since purchased a yellow pad to try to get rid of the etchings. Wondering if...

My wife has a 2000 Naples Gold Honda Accord. It's her daily driver and has never seen the inside of a garage for more than two days in a row. It had some pretty strong water spot etchings in the surface which I have been able to reduce but not rid completely. I have used the regular Turtle...

I'm thinking of trying Zaino. Do I need to use the Z-5 or will other swirl removers work too? I already have 3m's Swirl Remover. Wondering if that'll work instead of Z-5.

I've been reading up on FMJ and it sounds real good. I was just wondering how it compares to Blackfire? E.G. Shine, durability, slickness. I already have Blackfire, but I am curious about FMJ also.

I know regular Dawn is the preferred detergent to strip the car of wax, but won't the other dishwashing soaps work, like Palmolive or Ajax? My wife just bought some antibacterial Dawn I don't see the point in going out to get regular Dawn if what I have will work also. Augustine

I just detailed my mom's car with two coats of NXT topped off with a coat of 3M paste wax. Let me first say the car, a mint condition 1995 Mercedes Benz E320, looked awesome. The car seemed to look deeper after I applied the 3M. Anyways, back to the subject. When I look at the car at...

Has anybody had experience with with either the 3M Perfect-it liquid wax or Meguiar's #26 liquid wax? I'm looking for some opinions on both. I have both of these in paste form already, but I also want to try the liquids on my PC. I'm only interested in these two because they are the only...
