    Hi :wavey Sooo it's been quite a while! Had to sell my Alfa Romeo, got a beater Civic that's in dismal condition . . . then things went right and I'm the proud new owner of a 2002 S2000! Just wanted to say hello and catch up with any of the old folks that I had so much fun with on this...

    Removing Intentional Spray Paint Damage?

    Greetings all, I have a coworker who had the misfortune of a vandal spraying a "custom pinstripe" across the whole length of his BMW. It's a pretty thick stripe and there are also drips down the height of the car's side panels from it. Does anyone have much experience removing damage like...

    Zaino: Can You Go "Too Thin?"

    Thin coats are always stressed with Zaino or Klasse, but I'm curious if there is a "too thin." Yesterday I ZFXed for the first time and mixed a full ounce of Z-5, expecting to get around 3-3.5 coats. I got 3 and still have around 1/2 oz left! I know I am not missing spots and am applying...

    Post Your Silver Klasse / Zaino pics here!

    I'll be detailing 3 silver cars within the next few months and am trying to decide which product to use on each car. We have a Black thread and a Red thread, why not a silver? Thanks! :) Klasse + wax is great! Doesn't just have to be "plain" Klasse.

    Headlight Glass

    What can be done for 10+ year old headlight glass besides replacing it? It's not smooth on the inside because it has a pattern of parallel lines in very close proximity to one another, so this would make polishing difficult. The problem is the glass has an overall green tint to it which I...

    98 Camaro Z28 427ci - final cleanup :( *pic heavy*

    I know there is a partial promotional video on the Meguiar's site and a shorter video from David on this forum. However, what I am really looking for is a complete video at least a few minutes long showing someone using a PC with proper techniques and known products for instructional purposes...

    New to the site.

    Hi all- My mother had the misfortune of not pulling her car into the garage far enough and, well, you know what happens next. I looked at the bumper and there is a very heavy scar about [EDIT] .25" wide and 1" long, 1/16- deep. It bit into the plastic enough that there is a slight...

    Super One Day Sales At ProperAutoCare.com

    Has anyone used this stuff? No credible mention of it in the archives, perhaps there is a reason for that. If you have used it, how'd it go? I'm looking at getting my front seats refinished and have been working on softening up all of the leather but regular conditioner isn't working. Yes...

    Happy Birthday hopsgt500

    A couple of Autopians brought this up but there was no closure to it. I emailed Sal and he confirmed it. Zaino Z-2 has been improved, but he didn't specifically tell me what it was. Here are the posts: <blockquote class='ipsBlockquote' > <em class='bbc'>Originally posted by geekysteve [/i]...

    Finally detailed my new DD!

    I believe most people out there use the CMA PC pads (made by Lake Country) with the Velcro hook & loop fasteners, and that's great! However, I'm interested in hearing from the rest of you who use a different pad besides the Lake Country ones. Meguiar's? 3M? Which pads do you use and how...

    Looking for a thick pencil like brush with stiff bristles

    I now have 2 different kinds of PPCL from the generosity of 2 of our members (thank you guys ;)). I will post a review once I know what to call either type of PPCL! One is a nice citrus-scented liquid with the consistency of milk. The other is a nasty chemical smelling stuff that is much...
