Well I got what I considered to be a fun project today. I helped restore a neglected '73 VW Bette Convertable by detailing it. It only took about 3 hours w/ the orbital and some help from the owner. It was pretty satisfying when I finished claying and the clay was brown. Camera couldnt capture...

I have a container of Souveran and some EF Crystal Pearl commin to me. Anyone have any tips on applying? I was planning on stripping the Zaino and Zymol I have on the car now. Then doing the full deal- Dawn wash #9 2.0 #7 Maybe a few coats of Z-1 and Z-2 w/ ZFX Followed up by Souveran...

My pics inside the garage didnt turn out, but this one did: http://www.funtigo.com/thevolvoguy?b=1406&p=20&nav=next :up EDIT: How about this: http://imageevent.com/thevolvoguy/volvo850?rotp=8874& lots and lots of pics a few of them came out pretty good. What do ya'll...

Used once Zymol Carbon. I will include when shipped: Carbon Wax (36% Carnauba), proof of purchase, Zymol Applicator and a MF towel if wanted. I also have pictures of the wax on the car if you want them. Price~ $32 I would love to trade for some used Z, K, Souveran, or BF. Even a different...

Well I finally got the nerve to order some Zymol. I picked it up today and tried it out on the Volvo. I like... I like it a lot. I paid $45.00 total w/ tax for 8oz of Zymol Carbon. I would hesitate to say the glow and depth is as good as Souveran, and the mirror finish is there... but not...

Well I have owned my Volvo 850 for about 2 years now. I have played with it enough to know it from the inside out. I was on this stretch of road last night... no other cars, completely flat, no turns... just smooth straight road. So I popped the little button in "Sport" mode for the first time...

Tried P21S on the 850, results are good but no better than my usuall #9,#7, LG, GC w/ the orbital. (Today I didnt dawn or prep bc the car has been in the garage for 2 years, and not driven more than 1000 miles in over a year.) The full car pics were crappy so here are some reflections anyway...

Is there anything that makes Dawn better at stripping wax than other soaps like Palmolive, Joy, etc...? Just wondering. :wavey

Well, QVC was on the TV... I dont know why I was watching it but I found my self intriuged by the mini steamer. Then they start washing this explorer with a neat looking little soap dispensing brush, that you hook up to your hose. It looked kinda cool... until I saw the brush part of it! They...

Its yours with 2 terry bonnets, 1 foam bonnet, and 4 wax applicator bonnets for just $40 The buffer was $60 new, plus around $20 in bonnets. I think this is a fair price. I would love to trade it for some Z, or K, or Souveran. Even partialy used bottles. I will review every offer. $40 is not set...

I think they turned out pretty good. Heres what I did- Double DAWN wash, dry Mothers Clay Meguiar's #9 SMR Meguiar's #7 (skipped this step) I got lazy Volvo Wax... Its GREAT stuff Shine is better than Soveran and it was only like 30 bucks for the whole wash, wax, cleaners, degreasers...

http://www.funtigo.com/thevolvoguy?b=1847&p=start I drove by the dodge dealer today and saw these 3 fine machines outside. I glanced over at my passenger seat and there was the digital camera. So here they are. BTW sorry about the glare halogen lights hurt. Dont stare at them.

My mom's 2002 Black MB S600 has terrible swirls. I have been thinking of using a rubbing, then polishing compund. Im guessing this would derive the best results. I have used SMR and Meg's. #9 on it both covered them a little, but after about a month they are back again. I currently dont have...

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=1837495386 Check this out. I have seen countless infomercials on this stuff. Im guessing it wouldnt work. I will stick w/ my Z until someone from autopia tells me otherwise. Anyone tried it?? Thanks! :nixweiss

Im not happy. My Zaino order was supossed to arrive either today or tommrow. Big deal I will get it tommrow. Well with houstons weather, thats just not gonna work. Turns out we have a chance of rain for the next 2 days. Damn I guess I will have to wait until the weekend.:mad:

I finished my Zaino order form Saturday night. I was reviewing it and noticed that under the Z5 polish, it said "swirl and light scratch remover and polish." How does Z5 compare to 3Ms PI-3? More or less aggressive? I assume it works well with a PC? Im pretty new to Z, so excuse my cluelesness...

Just curious... Anyone keep up with basketball? I detail Maurice Taylor's 3 cars... A Black 2002 Land Cruiser (after he saw mine) with 22's, A 2001 Gold STARCRAFT Suburban w/ 24's, A 2002 Black S600 Benz w/ 19's. He tips really nicely. :) Every time, no matter what I do (a wash or complete...

Finally... after 5 hours Project Farm Truck is complete. For those of you who didint read my last post, This is my friends truck, a 1989 Ford F150 4x4 Lariat Extended Cab. It was a nice truck in its day. I had to bring it back from the dead so I got my lazy self out of bed at 8:30 to get to...

I have used every store bought wax on my maroon Volvo, except for GC liquid. I ordered souveran Friday. But I still have a bottle of unopened Meg. GC in my garage. Is it worth a try?? I have heard from an earlier post that GC will compare to Souveran on dark reds and blacks. Opinions?
