i live in upstate NY and am debating on wether or not I need to do th full process again before winter. In mid Aug. I did AIO, 4 layers of SG and I have been topping with S100 ever 3 weeks. The car is still beading really well and feels pretty smooth. Should I hit it with AIO and 2 coats of...

I just did my dark blue car with S100 for a second time. The first time I did it, I went over 1 coat of AIO and 3 coats of SG. The slickness and it lasted an entire month with weekly washing. Friday I hit it again with S100 and the paint just looks great. I'm really happy with the S100...

I've got a question about rubbing. I just put 235/50/18s on my Cadillac. When I am turning into a parking spot at very low speeds, the tire will rub the wheel-well, is this particularly damaging to my car or the tires?

I just started removing the SG from my dark blue pain with my PC. I put it on as thin as possible but there are spots where it was too thick and I can't get it off with the Propel Blue pads and PC. I would like to continue attacking it tonight so i can throw another coat on tomorrow so prompt...

I hit my car again yesterday with an Orange pad and SSR2.5 followed by a Green with SSR1. I first did a major prep like this at the end of April and since then I have gotten quite a bit of swirls from a poor quality wash mitt and I didn't notice what it was doing until after a few weeks. Is...

I am unhappy with Zaino and am going to start using SG. I am going to prep the car with SSR2.5 again and apply SG. Do I need to do AIO prior to the SG? Once SG is on there, how often does everyone apply a topper?

I've been using Z2 for about a year. I love the look, but the entire process just takes too long. Having to add ZFX to an application is just BS. I would like to try something else but having not tried a lot of products, I would like somone who has used Zaino and compared it to give me some...

I plan on using Leatherique on my car soon and was wondering what the process was. Do you need to use their cleaner following the oil rejuvinator? I was also wondering if anyone has used the rest of their product line to fill cracks in the leather?

My question pertains to ZFX. Last year when I first tried Zaino, I used the ZFX with the Z2 for my first coat and then layerd on top of that without ZFX. I kind of felt that the ZFX may have just been a gimick, being that it was so small and inexpensive to produce but sold for $20. I didn't...

Leaving work today I was welcomed with remains of four or five different bird's lunches. Went home and washed the car off right away. There was still some marks left behind that just wouldn't come out so I just hit it with SSR2.5 and Orange and there is still small traces left behind. Did...

I let my friend borrow my PC this weekend to work on his Camaro. His car is a black 96, non-garaged and badly neglected. here are some before an afters of his first try with the PC. We used Propel Orange with SSR2.5 and did 3 passes in some of th rough spots and2 in the others. Then we...

Last night I helped my friend start restoring the paint on his 96 Black Camaro. The car has been outside its whole life and the paint is terrible. We did 3 passes on the hood using the Propel Orange pad and SSR2.5 and then followed it with an SSR2.5 with polishing pad. While, there is a...

Last week I hit my dark blue car pretty hard with SSR 2.5 and a yellow pad twice at 5x and 6x then I followed it up with SSR1 with a green pad at 5. I am noticing in some areas under certain lighting it looks a little hazy but still reflective. What do I have to do to fix this?

I tried hitting my dark blue car with SSR 2.5 (Yellow Propel Pad) and then with the SSR 1 (Blue Propel Pad). The whole process took a long time and I made sure I did 3 passes with each application with the PC set to 5. I followed everything up with a thin layer of Z2 and Z5. The thing is...

I opened this thread up because the other one was just getting too big. I went back over my rear end with SSR 2.5 with the yellow pad after reading everyones comments. I bumped the speed up to 5 and did 3 slow passes. While the lighting wasn't really all that great, it does appear to have...

Let me start by saying tha tI have a dark blue car (GM Paint). The car is a 96 and living in Upstate, NY, the paint has seen its share of harshness. I picked up all the different pads for the PC along with SSR 2.5 and SSR 1. I'm not sure if I expected a miricle, but upon close examination...

Could AIO be layered?

The chrome tips on my Caddy have a lot of baked on carbon from the exhaust. Can anyone recommend a good cleaner that won't hurt the chrome?

I am going to start using a Porter Cable and will be buying the Probel pads from www.exceldetail.com, I'm just not sure of how many and what ones to buy. I plan on using the SSR1 and SSR2.5 with them on a large car. My swirls aren't too bad so I will probably go with the yellow on the 2.5...
