    SFX-3 problem

    I helped a friend detail her black 2007 Honda CRV this weekend. It was in rather poor shape from 14 months of neglect but we got it back to looking quite good. She said it looks better than when she took delivery of it new. Now she just needs to get all of the parking lot dings taken out...

    Anyone near Richmond VA have an ozone generator?

    Does anyone in the Richmond VA area have an ozone generator? I'm trying to de-stink a convertible and I've gotten the majority of the smell out but there's still some lingering in the carpet and convertible top liner. The dash has been disassembled and all vents removed, cleaned and...

    Pre-detailing question - ANTS!

    This actually relates to something prior to being able to detail the car. I bought a 1993 Miata that's been sitting in a field for a couple of years. The paint is, um, ... passable until I can repaint it. It responded well to a small test buffing area. However, the vibrations of the PC...

    UPP usage questions

    I've searched but didn't find anything - maybe I used the wrong search terms :confused: I'm coming from a Zaino world so I'm trying to make sense of the UPP directions and get a handle on the proper application and product usage. Anyway, I put a coat of UPP on my Sunlight Silver 2007 MX-5...

    Glosshaus ?

    Anyone ever heard of Glosshaus? I saw a link to it on another forum I read. Their gallery has some pretty impressive pictures.

    Will pollen eat Zaino away?

    We've had the usual obscene amount of pollen here in central VA this year but this is the first year I've had this particular problem. When I washed my car yesterday it almost felt as if there was no Zaino left on it. In the past 1.5 months that I've owned the car it's had 2 coats of Z5+ZFX...

    Underhood mirrors?

    I don't know if this is the right forum or not... My son wants to dress his car up as a show car. He's already done interior neons, underhood strobes, etc. Now he wants to add mirrors to the recessed areas inside the hood and trunk lid. I've been searching for about an hour and can't find...

    Killed a pad. What did I do wrong?

    Disclaimer: I'm new to machine polishing and still learning. So I'm happily polishing away on my MINI Cooper with my PC, orange Sonus DAS pad and Z-PC. Suddenly I start seeing little bits of orange foam fly. I immediately turn off the PC and look at the pad. The velcro backing is peeling...

    How do I get NXT wax out of a pad?

    Disclaimer: I'm new to the machine polishing world. That being said, I used the wrong pad (Sonus blue) to apply NXT Tech Wax to my son's '04 Jetta :wall but it still turned out very nicely. Now that I realize the error of my ways, how do I remove the NXT from the pad? I've soaked it in...

    Upcoming project - need advice

    I've just purchased a PC, the Sonüs DAS pad kit and SFX2 & 3 and am starting into the wild, wonderful world of detailing for fun (no profit.) My initial learning project for this will be my fathers 1990 silver/black Ford Ranger pickup. The truck lives outside in his driveway and is...
