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...

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...

Has anyone tried this before? I searched and got some opinions but not much actual experience. Can't wait until Zaino gets a precleaner! ;)

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...

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.

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...

I've heard a few different pronunciations. What's yours? Please let us know if you speak German or have some other useful credentials in the area. :)

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...

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...

Where does the Pinnacle Group Buy thread keep going? It was here then it was not here and Intel486 made a thread which is gone now. What's going on?

OK I have no pics here but I will have some after I use a scanner! Let's see who has enough guts to post the DIRTIEST, NASTIEST picture of <strong class='bbc'>their car[/b]! A couple weeks' worth of snow and salt, whatever! Post an after pic if you want to retain your dignity :D I doubt this...

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...

I tested both of these yesterday on a 2000 Maxima's wheels that were caked with brake dust inside. This will be a very short review, I am requesting some information from Eagle One and will post it when I get a response. [EDIT: Nevermind that very short part :D] <strong class='bbc'>Test...

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]...

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...
