I am undecided on which way to go detailing my daily driver ('07 Nissan Murono beige). It has some swirls and very minimal scratches. I plan on washing and claying first, then which way? Poli-seal using flex with lc white pad (the one with dimples) and be done with it or use Menzerna FPII and...

I appplied Zymol Titanium to my '07 Nissan Murano around 1st-2nd week of May. I had performed wash with CG CWG and clayed full car. It is my daily driver (averaging 500 miles per week) and I live in Chicago, IL. It is garaged at night. During the day it is parked outside, usually in the sun...

I have been using PC 7424 and older style LC pads (slightly concave, no holes/indents) with no issue. Yesterday, I tried the LLC CCS (flat with holes/indents) using Flex (also first time). The brand new white pad was skipping and not applying Optima Poli-Seal evenly. I switched the pad to PC...

Thanks to a post I saw here yesterday, I bought a Gilmour foam gun from Amazon for $39.99 including free shipping. Will Chemical Guys - Citrus Wash & Gloss work well in foam gun. If so, what ratio of dilution should I use when pouring soap & water into the foam gun bottle. I will figure out...

I am planning to detail my guards red Porsche Boxster S this weekend. About a month ago I did clay, Menzerna FPII - glaze - 1x FMJ. This weekend I going to use FPII in only a small handfull of spots and then what ???? Zymol HD Cleanse followed by either Zymol Vintage, Destiny, Atlantique...

I realize that Jetseal doesn't have much of a following yet since it only recently came out. Does anyone have first hand comparison on CG Jetseal vs. CG M-Seal? I have only applied 1 coat of Jetseal on my daily driver and have not made up my mind yet. It seems to bead well after a couple of...

Last month I detailed my gold 07 Nissan Murano. Wash > clay bar (blackfire) > rinse > chamois > Menzerna FG > Menzerna FMJ. Finshed car looked good and I expected easy removal of bugs and grime for at least another couple of months. However, after 2nd wash using Merzerna soap and a few rain...

I just ordered Wet Mirror Finish and Jetseal from Paul at Chemical Guy's (nice person and very helpful). There seems to be some debate here as whether Wet Mirror Finish is strictly a glaze and or has some sealant properties. According to Paul, it can be a LSP but he recommended to top with...

Someone posted earlier about FMJ going bad. My bottle after shaking comes out with small globs. I called CMA and they said as long as it doesn't smell foul it is still good. I can't remember how it supposed to smell, but it doesn't smell foul like rotten milk or something. My questions is...

I was planning on using Zymol Vintage or Atlantique wax on Menzerna FPII prepped surface. Zymol recommends using Zymol HD Cleanse which I am am not very fond. If HD Cleanse is primarily a filler then maybe I can substitute Menzerna Glaze applied with PC. I like the look of glazes on my car...

Can anyone please confirm if Menzerna FPII and Mezerna Finishings Glaze contains either petroleum distillates or silicones? I am asking because I was planning on using FPII and FG on a guards red Porchase Boxster this weekend and finish off with Zymol Vintage or Atlantique. According to...

Hello all, I used the 4" white pad from CMA with PC 7424 just last weekend for the first time. I was correcting some scratches on a neighbors 350Z rear caused by him holding keys while opening rear hatch. Using 3 applications of Menzerna FPII, the scratches were 80-85% gone. I could have...

I store my convertible during our Chicago winters. I normally perform a complete wash and detail prior to covering. Unforturnately, this year I didn't get around to washing in time. Current outdoor temps are around 18 deg. and my garage doesn't have a drain. Is there a product that can...

Firstly, thanks to all the fine folks here at autopia.org. I have learned alot to support this obsessive hobby. I have a "Guards Red" 2000 Porsche Boxster. I was told that the clear coat and paint are mixed together instead separate layers from factory. Therefore, I am not very agressive...
