Gonna get the Powerball and they say to use PowerMetal with it. Can't seem to figure out what the difference is between the two products. I need something to keep my polished aluminum wheels clean and remove any fine scratches. Yes, these are 3-piece Racing Hart C2s, but I had them refinished...

Here is the link: Salt-Away Looks to be a useful product for removing salt from cars without scratching. Anybody try it?

BTW, I have a silver Acura 3.2TL. I know I have some microscratching. If I park at the mall at night in certain angles I can see them. But I can't see them in my garage. I currently have 6 dual-bulb fluoroescent lights mounted in the ceiling and a portable halogen work light, but no matter...

My wheels have a nice polished lip that is anodized aluminum. Can I use aluminum polish or should I use something else?

http://www.dingking.com/content.asp?pid=191 They sell one on an infomercial I just saw for $30. Looks pretty much the same to me. I have a dent on my hood which the PDR guy couldn't remove. There is a support member directly underneath the dent. I thought this might work. Wonder if the...

OK I guess now it's ok to let the cat out of the bag. I've been holding this for a while now, but gotta let you all know now. Parts America, who owns Advance Auto Parts, among other companies, has a web site you can order parts from. Here is the link to their site. Parts America In order to...

I've read about the swirl reducing/filling properties of Z5, but was wondering.... Once you've put several coats of Z2 on your car, what benefit would Z5 have if layered over top?

I know I know, you shouldn't put anything on top of Zaino, but I've read somewhere that a carnauba topper adds a level of depth not achieved with Zaino alone. Can anyone confirm that before I waste my time. I realize the next time I apply Zaino, I'll have to strip the topper, but since Dawn...

Finally got to use my PC this weekend. Used it just for the SMR. Here's a shot of the hood with the sun starting to go down. Oh and yes, my car is silver, which makes the reflection that much more challenging. I think if my car was black, you'd think you were sitting in the guys living room...

Q: I wash my car at home using a garden hose. Lately, the finish looks dull and marked. What could be wrong? A: Washing your car at home is extremely harmful to the finish since University of Texas proved that a single home hand-wash can leave scratches in the finish as deep as 1/10 of the...

I want to get rid of the micro-scratches on my car and I don't think Z5 will do it. Can I apply this with an orbital and then follow up with: Z1 Z2 Anybody?

After all this talk about straight line scratches, I need some advice. I have bunch of straight line scratches on the hood and trunk lid. No doubt from some of my cheap MF towels. I learned my lesson. Well I have a few dozen coats of Z2/Z5 so my guess is the scratches are in the Zaino layers...

I really think it'll help the application of Zaino and hopefully make the Z5 work a little better at removing surface scratches. So if you are using Zaino with the PC, what pads do you use? Do you use the PC for application, removal, or both? Sorry to be a P.I.T.A but I want to order...

Plan to continue using Zaino but I'm going to buy the Porter Cable 7424 to see if I can get that shine that blinds oncoming traffic. :D Wanted to see if I can just use these products for applying and removing Zaino, specifically Z2 and Z5. Grey Finishing Pad - for applying Z2 and Z5...
