    Claying

    How often do you clay your own vehicle? I clayed mine about 2 months ago, and tonite while applying Z5 I noticed some rough spots on the hood and roof. Do I need to clay again so soon? I only have about 2000 miles on my car since the last clay.

    First time QEW

    I used QEW for the first time today. I was scared to try it on my GTO so I used it on the 02 black Monte Carlo instead. The car is pretty swirl free because it was the practice car when I got my PC. Anyway, being the first time the whole process took about 30 minutes. I did not see any signs...

    Topper for Zaino?

    Is it worth it? I am currently using Z8 as a topper, and it does add some depth but does my paint look as deep as it could using this? I have been thinking about buying some Pinnacle Signature Series since it is on sale here because it seems to be made for metallic paint...

    QEW and Zaino

    Would it be ok to wash using QEW, then use my Zaino detail spray on the whole car, then apply some Z5? Is this a bad idea?

    Diluting Z6 with distilled water...

    For those who have tried this, what have you found to be the best ratio? Zaino webpage states a 1:1 will suffice, but I am wondering if it would be worthwhile to dilute it more.

    Today after drying my black car with the Sonus blue waffle weave microfiber towel, I noticed some very fine scratches all over the car. Did I do something wrong here? I was under the impression that these towels wouldn't scratch.

    Am I going crazy? Metallic flake color change after detail...

    This Saturday I began the process of removing some light swirl marks and hazing that I put in my 04 Phantom Black Metallic GTO a few weeks earlier while using some 3mSMR by hand. To start off, I washed the car with the Zaino car wash. I did not clay because I had clayed the whole car a few...

    cloudy hazy look under fluorescent lights help

    I noticed last night that my whole car looks cloudy and hazy under fluorescent lighting. In the sunlight, the car looks great, and in every other lighting this is not visible, apparantly just under fluorescent lights. I believe this is probably the result of the 3m 39009 smr I used by hand on...
