5 Star Shine , anyone ever heard of it or believe any of its claims? Just curious...

I put a coat of Z2 on my car this morning, and noticed that it too was now an orange shade, as opposed to pink like my old bottle of Z2. Was it reformulated as well, like the Z5 was?

Thanks to everyone on this forum for their help, tips and reviews. With your help, I have my car's exterior in the best condition it's ever been in. It's 7 years old and does show some normal road wear on the hood and front bumper, but every place else is almost flawless, save for the slight...

Just curious - my new Z1, Z2 and Z5 showed up today and I noticed that the Z5 was orange, not white like my near empty bottle in the garage. No big deal I'm sure, but I did notice it. Maybe to let you know it's on the car:nixweiss

Just need to vent a little here. Over the weekend I stripped the S100 from my car to prep it for Zaino since it's starting to get hot here and I want something that will last. The car was damn near perfect - no heavy scratches, no water spots, and smooth as glass. However, I had some spots...

OK, over the weekend I used Meg's SMR on my car, then a Dawn wash. Yesterday I put a coat of Z1 & Z5 on there, using my PC and a Meg's soft buff pad (their softest one). I follwed the directions from here and Z's home page by lightly spritzing the pad with Z6 prior to putting the Z1 on the...

If I'm going to put Zaino on my car, do I have to dawn wash after using Meguiar's SMR, or can I start with the Zaino right away?

Has anyone ever used the QuickShine QD over Zaino? I did a search but nothing useful showed up. With "winter" basically over here in SW FL, I'm going to put Zaino on my car since the heat will melt S100 right off the black paint:rolleyes: But while I love the look of Zaino, I really don't...

A few weeks ago I ordered 2 bottles of Eagle 1's Interior Protectant Lotion. The box showed up with one of the bottles intact, but the other had a hole in it and had puked its contents all over the inside of the box. I called E1 and told them what happened, and they said they're replace it...

Hey gang, I might have the opportunity to do a Hummer (the noun, not the verb:D ) and was wondering if there was anything to watch for like hard to get areas, trim, etc. It's black. Thanks.

Hey gang, I saw this stuff at Wal-Mart and wanted to give it a shot. I took it out to my daughter's Cavalier that sits outside 24/7 and rarely gets washed (hey, it's her car, not mine:) ) and misted some on to the fender. Keep in mind that this is a black car that's been sitting outside all...

Hey folks, I have a standard 20'x20' 2-car garage, and I keep our Escape and Mustang in it.....along with a riding lawn mower, a garden trailer for the rider, 3 bicycles, a push mower, all kinds of lawn chairs/recliners (for the beach), my work bench on one wall, table saw & router, the water...

Hey gang, as I type I'm in the beginning stages of doing an interior detail on my neighbor's van. It's a HUGE Ford full size with the extended roof. She told me yesterday that "there's a funny smell and I have no idea what it is"...well, I found it. One of her kids put a small bottle of...

What are some things I'll need to address before entering a judged car show? The reason I ask is because the last 2 judged car shows I've been in, I got a "Top 10" at one and nothing at the other. To give you an idea of what cars won a "Best In Class" - one was a nice black Cobra coupe with a...

Has anyone ever heard of, or used Superior Products ? Good, bad, indifferent? Thanks for any input:)

Hey gang, my Escape has what appears to be road paint (you know, what they use for stripes/lines in the street) on its lower cladding. The cladding is a semi-smooth texture plastic, and the paint on it appears to have reflective properties. Clay didn't touch it - but clay did get what little...

Here's my neighbor's black Chevy Beretta literally covered in swirls. I mean they're from top to bottom and front to back! :rolleyes:

I did an exterior only on a friend's red M3 the other day. The car was so bad it looked orange! Apparently, 90% of the passenger side of the car was coated in brake dust, and the finish felt like sand paper as a result. I washed, clayed and used Meg's SMR with a Meg's red pad on my PC, then...

Here it is after a Dawn wash, Meguiar's SMR and 1 coat of S100: Blue sky, black hood :) moi:rolleyes: This one will mess with your eyes!

Hey gang, I'm doing a red M3 tomorrow, and man is the paint on this thing really neglected. The passenger's side door feels like 2000 grit sand paper, I kid you not. Does this car have a clear coat, and is there anything special I need to know about the trim? I'm going to hit it with my PC...
