My wife's Uncle has offered us a 69 Mustang Coupe and he is the original owner! I haven't seen it yet but it has been mainly garaged, although I doubt it's seen a coat of wax in a few decades. Going to Las Vegas this weekend to tow it home. In the meantime I've been spending way too much time...

Does Meguires #9 "hide" or fill swirl marks or does it "repair" them? Also can you apply the product to whole car by hand? Thanks

i have been geting little white hard specs on my car. Its only occuring when my car is in the garage. I'd come out in the morning and see these little white specs. I can flick them off with my finger nail. They stick pretty good. It's always in the same spot on my hood. My garage is like a barn...

I have read a few posts about Zaino cureing time. Someone posted that they let their coat of Z5 cure over night and found the shine to be greater. Will allowing the Z to sit longer produce a better shine? I put on 3 coats of Z5/zfx last weekend , allowed about 30 minutes between coats. I then...

I must say, what a product! It was my first time using Zaino. I dawn washed, clayed, dawnwashed again. Then applied 3 coats Z5 zfx, with Z6 between coats. It does take a little time to do it all. My car is black and she looks like a mirror. I've never used any type of polish like Zaino before...

I should be getting my zaino this week. I'm ready to dawn wash my car first. I was just wondering if i should use a different sponge for the dawn wash. It seems these sponges(chenelle) get so loaded with suds and soap. Even after throughly ringing them out they still hold the soap. My concern is...

This will be my first winter with my new GN and the first winter with my new garage. I'm going to store the car for the winters. Will the concrete cause any problems with my tires sitting in one position for 4-5 months. I have a spare set of tires and rims, should i swap them out for storage...

Ok......I let my new paint sit for 90 days, seems like forever!! I couldn't wait to Zaino it!! Anyhow I just ordered my Z. I've reading on here everything I need to do for my first application. I understand that i will wash the car with dawn, dry with good 100% cotton towels and REMOVE ALL WATER...

My upper door panels are starting to show some dirt where the fabric meets the window. The palce where you rest your arm on top when the window is down.Probably from body oils etc. They are light grey and it shows. The fabric is kinda like a velour , typical of an 80's car. I know if a scrub to...

I have seen those bug sponges, looks like a mesh net around the sponge. Will these scratch my paint? Some of those bugs are hard to get off!!

My tail lights , which are plastic, are a bit dull and need some attentoin to restore the shine and gloss. should i clean them with a mild abrasive first, or use a polish? I just got the Zaino plastic polsh, is the polish alone enough or should they be preped first? Thanks

I have a new custom paint job.(black) I was told to let the paint cure for about 90 days. After that time im going to use the Zaino system. The car hardly gets driven(sunday driver) and is garaged. I guess i'm a little scared to clay,I've been reading posts on here about smudgeing and hazing...

I've read all the specs on the Zaino products but i was wondering, does the Z5 "repair" swirl marks and scratches or does it just hide them? Does evey coat hide them more or repair them more?

I just recently had my Grand National painted. (black of course.) Boy, she looks awesome, great paint job!!!. I've had it home for about 2 weeks. Can't stop looking at it! it looks flawless!! Ohhhhhh but just the other day around noon time when the light was just right! Arghhhhhh. I could see...

I have black paint with some minor swirls and scratches. I read the Zaino specs and he says you can put on multiple coats for better results but should always end witha coat of Z2. Should i alternate between Z5 and Z2. For example: 1 coat Z5 1 coat Z2 1 coat Z5 1 coat Z2 done. Or can...

Should I use the Zaino products on the trim pieces.( head light bezels, windshield trim, Grill.) Those parts on my car are satin black,plastic and metal non clear coated.

What would you guys suggest for keeping those rubber weather seals around the doors and windows clean and also to help preserve and keep them supple. I just recently had my car restored and it cost $150 per side for new window seals!!! Yikes!! Thanks.

I have just purchased some polished aluminium rims. I was told that they are very hard to take care of. I was told that I should use a wheel polish on them often to keep up the shine. My question is, can i use rim cleaner ( such as "Meguires hot rims") in between polishings to remove brake dust...

IM Having my 87 GN fully restored and have bought some new "polished " rims. They look great ( Torque thrust II's, )by American racing. I've been told that keeping polished rims looking good is tough. The car will never see rain or snow and only be driven as a sunday driver. Any helpful tips...
