A few weeks ago we picked this car up from a local dealership. It is a 07 Camry SE w/ 28000 miles. It is a one owner car, and all signs show that every panel is still wearing factory paint. Overall the car was in great shape, but had some chips that needed touched up, and since it was on a...

A few months ago I began buying some new detailing supplies. Yesterday and today I got the opportunity to try some out on my PBM 04 GTO. A few months ago I pc'd the car and coated it with 3 coats of Z5. Yesterday I tried out my DP wheel gel, and Pinnacle shampoo. Prior to this I had...

So a few years ago (2005) when QEW was all the rage I figured I would give it a try. I did one panel and was horrified at the marring it was causing. I threw the water out and proceeded to do an old fashion 3 bucket 6 mitt wash, followed by a blot dry with waffle weave microfiber drying...

I want to try out the menzerna line but find it hard to justify spending the price for the 32oz sizes they all come in. I am thinking about buying 32oz of the PO85RD, 106FA and SIP, then selling off 3 8oz sample kits of each product, and keeping 8oz of each for myself. I am wondering if...

Would the Menzerna Intensive Polish PO91E followed by Menzerna Final Polish II PO87MC be a good combo? Could you go directly from the intensive polish to the final polish II? Or would the Power Finish PO 203 followed by the FPII be a better choice.

I am looking at the Optimum 3 pack for 24.99. I would get the # Optimum Compound II # Optimum Polish II # Optimum Finish Polish I have a pc, and am looking for something to handle mild paint correction on my own cars. Every once in a while I will do a friends car, so it would be nice to...

I have a phantom black metallic gto, and the paint seems to mar easily. I am currently using 2 white prima edgeless waffle weave towels. It is about time to replace them and want to know if there is a better option when it comes to edgeless waffle weaves.

What are everyones thoughts on this? I ordered around $280 of product from autogeek during the new years 15% off sale. This includes some pinnacle souveran paste wax, a pinnacle kit with wash and detailer spray, a wolfgang kit with the 3.0 sealant and car wash and detail spray, and some...

I recently made another thread about switching from zaino to pinnacle. Well after all the comments there I have decided to make the switch. I am going to sell off all of my zaino stuff EXCEPT for the tire shine, and the leather cleaner and conditioner, and possibly my clay. I am also going...

I have a phantom black metallic 04 GTO that I am pretty anal about keeping in good shape and swirl free. I bought this new in 04 and it has never seen snow/ salt, is garage kept, hibernates in the winter, and is far from a daily driver. I have always used zaino on it and have had great...

I am looking for a steam cleaner. I need something affordable and easy to use. I'm not going to be using it a lot...there have been maybe 10 times in the past yeah where it would have came in handy. Any suggestions?

I have a friend who started detailing cars a few months back. He always argues with me about the PC that I use and get great results with. Today he went over the edge with this statement. "You can't cut scratches or remove swirls with a PC. You can hide them but not remove them." I...

Has anyone used this mit? Detailers Paradise: Premium Car Care Products, Auto Detailing If so what did you think about it? It looks pretty cool but I would almost be afraid of it hiding dirt and stuff. I am very anal when it comes to washing, and use several mits and 2 buckets.

These pics are a few months old but I never got around to posting them. And as always

I currently use zaino but now that I have the whole black theme going on I often find that the tires don't quite keep up with the paint and the wheels. I want to try something that is a very high gloss and very shiny. I also want something that will not sling up all over everything when I...

1 year since last buff job, 8 months since last application of zaino, and 3 weeks since last wash (which included a dry with 100 grit sandpaper body shop dont ask) here she is... Almost ashamed to show these but here goes. After wash, clay, wash, and halfassed dry. These are just...

I recently purchased some taillights for my GTO. When I received them they were covered in a large amount of small scratches and swirls. I spent about an hour on one using a 4" white spot pad and my zaino plastic cleaner. While this did make it look better, it really did not achieve the...

I am going to be getting my car back soon with the bumper, hood, fenders, and mirrors freshly repainted. When I went through a bumper repaint about a year ago, everyone said that zaino was bad to put on right away. Is this still the general thought? I have some meguiars #7 glaze that is good...

I have seen some posts about buying touch up paint in a spraycan online before, but after searching I cannot find anything. Can someone give me the link to the site?

Well, as seen in this post http://autopia.org/forum/showthread.php?t=72808 my paint is pretty messed up from the car cruise. Well, my plastic headlights are also in pretty bad shape. They have a bunch of small pits from rocks hitting them and they look like crap. I tried some zaino plastic...
