    Pitting on hood...What causes it and how do I get rid of it?

    I've got an 02 german car. It's yellow. I've been using menzerna IP with an orange pad to lose the swirls and minor scratches. I've got minor pitting on the horizontal surfaces. I can't feel it, but I can sure see it. I tested a portion of the hood last night by going over it with the Menz...

    What's the easist way to get polish off black time?

    Just polished the ride. I've got some hazy white spots where the polish rubbed off on the trim. what's the easist way to get that off. it doesn't seem to be just rub off with a rag. It's mostly on the rubber trim around the windows, and the black plastic at the base of the windshield.

    Long time Zaino user just tried Rejex. Very impressed.

    Went on easier. Came off easier. Just wait till it hazes and wipe it off. Very inexpensive as well. I'll have to see what long term durability is though. So far so good. I polished and then dawned the car, with just two layers of Rejex over that. Great reflection. I may have to go and...

    Has anyone had any luck applying Zaino with a pc?

    Was going to try it tomorrow? Am I wasting my time? Should I just do it by hand? At least applying it? I'm definately going to take it off with the pc.

    Reusing foam pads with the Porter Cable

    If you clean them in between, can you use the pads with different products on different cars? Can you use a polish, clean it, and then use say a wax some other time with it? Or should you restrict it to one product only even if you clean them? Along the same line, if you clean it, can you use...

    08 Bullitt Mustang Re-Visited

    The directions say circular. Everything else I've read says to do everything in a back and forth motion. Any ideas? Won't circular motions give more swirls?

    Stinky Crappy Sport Fabric Seats

    I have some swirls and minor scratches on my 2 year old white paint. I tried claying it and caused even more marks somehow ( I followed the directions implicitly). Is the scratch x okay to use on the whole car before I zaino it, or should I wait and try to get some 3M perfect it and do that...

    Happy Birthday Page

    Zaino recommends large white towels. I tried using the MF's and it was kind of hard to get the polish off. Are the towels better for zaino? I let it dry over night and it is about 75 degrees where I'm at.

    My arsenal

    I was claying my 01 white BMW today. I continually reshaped the clay as per the directions. On some of the harder spots, I would go across then up and down to lift the embedded dirt. Almost like a cross. I lubed it heavily while doing this. I only used the cross motion on the harder spots...

    Need tips for sealing new truck

    when exactly would you use it? Zaino starts with a Dawn wash, then clay, then the Z-5, etc. Would you use the SWR prior to starting the zaino process?

    Question about wheel woolies

    the other SWR's. I tried it on my hood, roof, and trunk the other night. It is a newer white car with some swirls and mild scratches. I applied at least 3 coats to the hood and trunk and it didn't really do too much. I bought it a local auto parts store.
