    Leather Master Products for Leatherette?

    Hello everyone, I hope all is well. Just got a brand new BMW Z4 2.8. I opted for leatherette on the interior (really didn't care if it was not real leather). I have Leather Masters regular cleanser, conditioner, and vital. I was curious if these products could be used on the interior of...

    Detailing my... computer case.

    Hey guys! Been a while. Hope all is well with everyone else. A few years back, I got a new car (Infiniti G37) which I really don't care for so I haven't been detailing. If I get another BMW, you'll probably be hearing from me again regarding products ;-) That said, I'm here because I have...

    Zaino Products - how long do they last?

    Hey guys, I've had a number of zaino products sitting in storage for about three years. Are they any good or should I trash them? Daniel Disclosure: I don't think its a big deal but I wanted to disclose that I am asking because I plan to sell my Zaino products (which are about 3 years...

    I'm assuming it has to be a wax... Any recommendations on a black vehicle? Can Poxy be layered for additional looks/longevity?

    HD Uno Used As Finishing Polish? (Jeweling/Finessing)

    Hey guys, After all this research into polishes I am seeing a lot of people swearing by HD Uno. I know that I was a big fan of the Ultima Product Line (in fact I will be topping with UPGP) so I trust the stuff that came from the owner of this forum. That said, this was my previous line...

    Any point to following up 205 with an even gentler polish?

    Hey guys, I'm still doing a lot of research on what polishes to purchase. I'm probably set on 105/205 but am wondering if you could go even further with any real results. Specifically, I know that 205 isn't Meguiar's most gentle polish. I also know that it is unigrit so its polishing...

    Is Infinit paint actually soft?

    I've been reading mixed reviews about whether Infiniti's scratch shield paint is actually soft or not. Some are actually saying it is incredibly hard! From my own experience, multiple slow passes of with PC at speed 6/green (course) CCS pad + D151 yielded minimal results. Thoughts?

    D151 to finish Blackfire Polish?

    Hey guys, Its about time I did some correction on my Black Infiniti G37. For the record, D151 didn't do as much as I expected (via green CCS + PC) and there are still plenty of swirls left. For some true correction I was thinking about getting something stronger but was wondering if I needed...

    Bad idea to tape leather stitch?

    Hey guys, Lets say your using the feather brush PC accessory to clean interior leather. I'm assuming it'd be a horrid idea allow that brush to go over interior leather stitch. How do you combat this? Will blue painters/electrical tape over the leather/stitch area be a bad idea?

    Understanding polishing with D151

    Aright guys, so I finally did my first real polish... on black paint... and on soft black paint at that! The results are so so. I still have plenty of marring and I even got a bit of buffer haze here and there. But nothing I'm not currently happy with... especially since I currently have 2...

    Applying products over uncured sealants (DWG over UPGP)

    Hey guys I have a question regarding the curing of UPGP and applying DWG over it with out allowing it to cure. I got this idea from a pro detailer on here. He would apply wax right after applying Z5. The loss in durability was no consequence because he saw that car ever 4 months or so...

    Can you water down LM Strong?

    Hey guys I'm thinking that instead of buying LM Soft and LM Strong in the 250ml bottles, I just going to buy LM Strong 1L bottle. I read that strong is simply the same formula except 2x the concentration. So I'll get one giant bottle of Strong and then simply water it down in a second bottle...

    Taking the Infiniti "Sticky Paint" Challenge

    As some of you may have read in recent threads, Infiniti has developed a new "scratch shield" paint which self corrects. The heat of the sun seems to melt the clear coat removing mild marring. Or something like that. Anyways, it seems this CC is notoriously soft and difficult to work with...

    Has UPGP fallen out of favor?

    About a year or two ago, before I stopped my detailing endeavors, everyone (myself included!) was going nuts over this product. Now, Dave's come out with a new product and I'm hearing the current shipments of this stuff are old bottles from 2008. Is that the case and if so, why? From...
