Here are two quotes from Terry Frieberg of CMA. One from his interview with DavidB and another as part of the product description of BF: "We got the solvent content of BLACKFIRE under 15% and we use a very mild mineral spirit. It is exceedingly paint friendly. Even over years of monthly...

As I was QDing my black MBZ this afternoon, I noticed a few areas of film all over the hood. The car currently has 2 apps of AIO and 2 coats of KSG (no carnauba yet). The haze was barely noticeable under flourescent lights at just the perfect angle and I'm 99% sure that it wouldn't be visible...

I'll keep this short and simple: Two coats of ZFX mixed with Z-5 went on my silver Civic and 1 coat of KSG (2 altogether now) went on my MBZ. ZFX observations: 1. Applying ZFX feels just like regular unmixed Zaino. 2. The short dry time of ZFX is as advertised. 10 mins. 3. Buffing...

This is a quote from the product description of Blackfire: "Carnauba waxes and synthetic protectants typically contain one or two polymers in a petroleum solvent base. Some of these solvents can be quite strong and up to 60% of a product’s volume." It goes on to say that BF is...

There are numerous references to removing paint sealant (Klasse, Zaino, etc.) in past threads and the best way seems to be a 50/50 mixture of water and alcohol in a spray bottle. My only question is, should I just spray it on and wipe it off? Or do I have to rub it in with a foam/terry...

I wanted to get rid of all visible micro-swirls on my (wife's) bimmer which were barely visible under direct sunlight and easily seen under correct angles under flourescent lights. After washing the car with Pinnacle Bodywork Shampoo, I applied Finesse-It followed by PPCL followed by AIO and...

Is AIO a strong enough cleaner to remove 4-5 layered coats of Z-5? Or does something stronger like PPCL have to be used? Thanks for your help.

First Question: I currently use Pinnacle Paste Glaz on my silver car on top of KSG and am getting great results. I just bought a new car (Black MB CLK Convertible) and I was wondering if it was worth taking the plunge and buying souveran. I was initially thinking Zaino, but since this is...

For my last two coats of Z-5, I applied, dried, and removed under the direct sunlight. My car is black and it got pretty hot while doing it.....probably around 85. Everything went fine, but I did notice that as I was removing the Z-5, my paint started getting a lot of static. In fact, as I...

I currently have two coats of KAIO on my silver 2001 Civic as well as my 2001 BMW 330i. I allowed for a 1 week cure time for both cars. The first coats were applied when the cars were about 1 month old. I didn't do much in terms of surface prep because I didn't know better back then, but I...

Does everyone out there use soap when washing their car? I wash my car every week and my wash mitt doesn't get dirty at all. Eventually I figured it would be best if I didn't use any soap when washing. I've been doing that for about a month now and there hasn't been any noticable difference in...
