continued from this thread http://www.autopia.org/forums/showthread.php?s=&threadid=33112 BFII is out and I'm trying to decide if I should go back to zaino or try another synthetic. My first thread was asking mostly to compare it to the Klasse twins, but I completely forgot about 1Z and...

I've used zaino for a long long time and always despised how much it attracted dust and everything else to the car.... 5 minutes after QD'ing, washing or whatever there would be dust all over it.... I did love how the zaino looked, and how it lasted after rain/snow/washes and kept its shine and...

My poor paint is so screwed :( The spiderweb scratches are so bad it looks like someone scrubbed it with a papertowel. I dunno why? I use the exact same routine I used on the GTI and mustang... the only difference is I now use blackfire instead of zaino and I got a new wash mit. Other than a...

My leather is 'vanilla' which is a very very very light cream, almost white! Its a daily driver so it accumulates alot of dirt and grime. I've used leatherique and its great for once or twice a year.... but its just way too expensive for me to use frequently!! I've been using 1Z cockpit...

My car isnt exactly clean... it was dusty and it rained on it all yesterday and over night.... I drove around in the rain, got some road film on it etc. Anyways... this morning it rained as well but then the storm passed and the sun came out and was glaring down on the car covered in beaded...

I've been looking for something to clean/condition the leather in between my twice a year leatherique application... mostly clean though because this vanilla leather shows dirt really well!!! I'd been just spraying them down with 1Z cockpit premium once a month but it seems its not working...

I really like the einzett insekt bug remover.... spray, set 1 minute and they literally rinse off..... but I have no clue the affect it has on my 3 coats of BF2?? anyone know if it strips it off or not??? are their any good bug removers that don't strip wax? TIA!

that did not come out with the clay/menz IP/blackfire treatment with the PC..... This is the only time I've been able to see them (they don't show up under harsh sun) and theres quite a few! How do I tell if these are permanently etched in? Can they be removed with vineger? what type of...

If you remember I spent a solid 4 days detailing the TT and after menz IP, blackfire polish and BFII with the PC it was 100% swirl and scratch (straight line marring that gives that holographic effect) free... since then I've used a large car duster twice to remove the layer of dust that...

got 3 coats of BFII on her :) and I'm happy to report that in the sunlight ALL the swirls and marring are gone... even on the bra!! I did Menzerna IP/yellow pad Blackfire polish/white pad 3 coats BFII/grey pad buff with Blackfire QD and CBT after each coat 303 on the front grill...

Before Washed down with damp MF towel After Griots spray and wipe down

I didnt get to the 'wax' until 8pm or so!!!! Do I really need to wait till late tomorow evening to do the second coat... or would it be ok if I did it a bit after noon or earlier in the day like 2 or 3??? I'd like to get 3 coats on... but I'm not sure how long I'm goin to have this garage...

tomorow I'm putting it on jackstands and taking the wheels off so they can be scrubbed and treated... then I'm gonna wipe down the wheel wells and stuff, put it back together and then prolly do a 2nd coat. Depending on what time Chad gets home and if its tomorow of sat. I might get a 3rd coat...

I tried hard not to!! but between overspray and me bumping into stuff and runs/drips it kinda got all over.... mostly on interior plastics (door panels, transmission tunnel) and I got a tiny bit on the metal knee bolsters and rubberish e-brake I did the oil first.. then i'm going to clean...

After seeing the post on here and most of the replies being 'never seen or heard of those' I tracked some down at a local paint and body supply place. I got the bag of 50 for 6.05 tax included :) The entire package fit neatly into my towel organizer as well (sorry no pictures right now...

I've got 3 days an a garage space next week to get a full out detail done.... But I have no clue what to do first and where to go from there! 'I'm wanting to: wash/dry claybar polish out swirls in paint polish out swirls in clear bra wax take wheels off and scrub front to back then...

the metal thing is a custom built by spearco front mount intercooler with custom mandral bent piping. The TT only has two teeny tiny intercoolers.. one on each side in the fender well... not very efficient :)

I picked up some leatherique finally for my seats and I'm betting I can use it no problem on the leather door inserts as well... but what about things like the steering wheel, shift boot and leather knob??? Do you use the leatherique on it too or do you use something simpler? Obviously for...

This is from the 'lot boys' who detailed the car for the dealer before I picked it up... that or from the window tinters. It was present when the car was delivered... but I was so excited about getting the car I pretty much overlooked it, figuring I could just wipe it off when I got it home...

I'm trying to find a good towel just for quick detail spray but theres so many damn types out there now... Standard 'ultra' MF (like the miracle towel CMA sells) waffle weaves Terry (IE koala soft towel and the CBT that autopia sells) arggg
