First, let me say that I am not affiliated with the company that manufactures this product in any way. I first saw this system a couple of years ago at a car show and have been wanting one ever since. I have family in the city where they are made and serviced, so this weekend on a visit I took...

I used to frequent these forums quite a bit, but lack of time and ever increasing miles made me care less about detailing my Explorer. Well, I just purchased a new F150 Lariat, and wanted to get something on the paint. I have been a long time Zaino user, and Meguiar's professional line...

This weekend I was enjoying the sunset and noticed the reflection in my hood. I snapped a couple pics and thought I would share. I wish I had used the tripod and played more, these just don't do it justice. <img src=http://image1ex.villagephotos.com/pubimage.asp?id_=779003> <img...

Well, someone left a present on the Blazer a few weeks ago, and I had a chance to tackle the problem this weekend. The scratches range in length from about one inch to four inches. They felt rough to the touch, and I really did not think I had a chance to repair them without a trip to the...

I had almost as much fun taking the pictures as I did installing the filter, so I had to share the pics somewhere! Here is the stock air box. The conical filters are tough to find for some reason. I guess the majority of Explorers had the panel filter. <img...

I posted yesterday how happy I was to learn there is a Zaino distributor less than a mile from me now. Well, I called the guy up to introduce myself and we talked about Z for a few minutes. The reason this guy likes it so much is he can run through the auto car wash at the gas station, and by...

I ordered a complete set of Tokico Trek Master shocks for my Explorer, and they came in early. I was excited enough about that (geez, I am a nut), but while paying I spied a Zaino business card on the counter. Turns out I now have a Z distributor that lives less than a mile from me! Woohoo...

I couldn't resist trying out the MF towels offered by www.pakshak.com <img src=http://image1.villagephotos.com/pubimage.asp?id_=347149> I placed an order on Friday, and paid via Paypal. My towels arrived via US Priority Mail today. The towels were packaged in plastic baggies, either two...

Greetings all: I was wondering if anyone new has tried the Mr. Tuffy brush attachment for the PC. I searched and found two whole posts on the thing. It looks kind of homemade, which makes me wonder if I really want to spend 30 bucks on it. Any opinions welcome...

Just a heads-up on these new palm polishers that are cropping up. Home Depot has a Turtlewax packaged one going for $19.99. I haven't paid much attention to em' but for twenty bucks, they might be a good tool for some folks.

I came home from work and changed the oil in the Explorer. Then there was just enough daylight left to get a wash in. Tomorrow I will finish detailing the interior, and possibly add a layer of Z. <img src=http://image1.villagephotos.com/pubimage.asp?id_=323818>

<img src=http://image1.villagephotos.com/pubimage.asp?id_=321510> I read in another post that someone found cotton mitts at Napa. So this evening I cruise by a Napa and sure enough, they got em'. As the photo shows, they are 100% cotton. At 8x14", they are a pretty good size too. The back...

I found this pen at the local Pep Boys the other day. It is basically a nifty tool for sanding small nicks prior to touch up painting. It is made of a plastic tube with a collection of glass fibers clustered in the center. There is a screw mechanism that will allow you to lengthen, and...

I am selling a pair of Focal Expert 5KX-SUB subwoofers on ebay if anyone is interested. These are 6" subwoofers used to enhance the low end of a car audio soundstage and bring the bass up front...

What would a fair price be on the following? 2001 Chevy Silverado, Extended Cab Clay, SMR, Dawn & Zaino Exterior Vac & Wet clean carpet, Lexol leather, and all of the normal assorted details inside and out My neighbor asked for a price, and I honestly don't know what is fair.

I spent about eight hours today doing a badly needed interior detail on a blazer. First, I vacuumed the interior. Then I wet cleaned the carpet using an Oreck Steemer carpet cleaner. I meant to take some pics of the carpet stains, but forgot. Luckly they all came out, and I didn't have a...

I spoke to a 3M rep today, and she said that the 3M SMR and FI-II rate the same as far as agressiveness go. Supposedly they are basically the same product (polishes, no wax or silicone), but the FI-II should provide better gloss. On a scale of 1-90 they both rate a 25 (1 being the least...

I have always used Meguiars Medallion paint cleaner, Show Car Glaze, and Medalion Paint Protectant as my ritual. I just decided to break traditon and ordered 74 bucks worth of Z products. I am looking forward to the no powder/residue on trim ect., and Sal assured me that the shine would...
