Hi everyone. I have a carbon black (deep deep midnight blue metalic) car. After the following regiment I still have some minor spider webbing and or swirls apparent. 1. Wash 2. Clay 3. SMR 4. QD with Z6 and MF to remove residue 5. Z1 6. 3 coats Z2 no zfx. I did the coats a week apart...

Thought I would share these. I have three coats of Zaino an 1 topper of Souveran. I can't say the the souveran made any difference. Personally I didn't see any at all. I will let it wear off and stick with Zaino (Z2)

I was wondering how salt left on a Zaino or other poly would affect that layer of whatever? Does anyone have any thoughts on thjis? Will driving it through touchless car washes strip Zaino? It has been below 30 for a while here and I have NOT roinsed my car in a week or more. Did all my...

Notice the chips in the lower right?? You can also see the cleaar bra line and some dust that has collected. Souvern is a dust magnet

Many people have recommended GEPC and SEPC prior to Zaino for added depth. Is IHG compatable too, and will I achieve similar results with it? Thanks Bruce :bow :bow :bow :bow

I just put a long anticipated coat of this very spensive wax over three layers of Z2. I had been salivating with the mere though of adding even more depth to an already brilliant shine. When I uncovered the car I stood and gazed at the Z2 glimmer and wondered how it could get much better. I...

And to all who participate. A while back I was attemting my second go at Zainoing my 00M5, carbon black. After the initial coat, preceeded by 3M SMR, which I did at night under halogen lights, it looked great. The next morning I took it out into direct sunlight and to my dismay it had...

I have been reading a lot of threads about carnuba toppers over poly's. With all the chatter of pros and cans I have decided to try Pinnacle liquid Souvern over my multi coats of Z2. The results I have heard about have been quite good. Sal does not recommend this but then he wants to sell his...

Has anyone heard of this stuff, Formula 113? I have used thier one sterp product. Initially it looks great, fills swirls and shines nice but does'nt last. Has anyone tried this? Thay also have a Qd that is pretty good. I use it on non Zainoed cars and windows (not windshield, wipers get all...

Hello again, I was wondering if you recommend washing after clay or if you just QD it. Thanks in advance Bruce :bow

Scroll up past the bottom posts untill you reach either my post or RAREM5"S post showcasing his blue M5. The shine is amazing! http://www.bmwm5.com/vbulletin/showthread.php?threadid=25667&goto=newpost ALL I CAN SAY IS dribble, dribble, drool, drool, (stumbling to get my lips to work)...

rookies impression of microfibertech MF's Hello guys and gals, I decided to layer a second coat to my beast today. First I did a QD with Z6 to remove a small amount of dust. I used a lot of Z6 to make sure the surface was well lubriocated. I used one mf to clean and a second to buff...

ShowroomLincoln Super Moderator Registered: Aug 2001 Location: Cincinnati, OH Posts: 2783 The streaking could be caused by either too much Zaino, or it was not totally dry when you removed it. The heat build up from the lights on a black surface can also cause this problem. Go over the...

Well, Ok here goes. I set out to rid my Carbon black beast of swirls. About 2 weeks ago I had a pro detail her and it was very nice. He used the following: Clay, PI III, SMR, IHG then Z1, Z2. I'm not sure when he washed the car, I think between steps 1 and 2. About a week later I Qd the...

Has anyone heard of these? The are incredibly soft. I plan to use them this wekend. I will share the results. Bruce :bounce

I just got 5 MF's from Microfibertech (elite). As I'm reading I got a wicked chill down my spine. Everything I've read and heard, here and elsewhere, clearly states the anthing but 100% cotton will scratch paint. ESPECIALLY POLYESTER! How is it that these MF's which are 80% polyester are the...

Can anyone here shed some light on this? I have a noah brand and I'm sure it scratches my finish. I have heard flannel is good, but are flannel covers 100% cotton, including the stiching? I need one for inside my garage. Thanks Bruce :confused:

If not what do you guys use? I've been using cotton misted with Z6, and had pretty good results. My car is Carbon Black which is very dark blue in certain light and black in other light. It shows every imperfection. I just ordered some Microfiber Tech Elite towels for removal. I plan to SMR my...

Iv'e taken notice to a lot of reviews and posts about MF towels and polish removal. What do you guys and gals use to aply Zaino and or wax? I've been using cotton misted with Z6. I have ordered some microfiber tech elites for removal. Can they be used to apply product as well? Thanks in...
