    How do you make metal flake show in pics?

    I wonder how all you detailers with good photogrpahy skills are able to show off the metal flake in your photo's. With my old film camera with spot mertering and manual apeture/shutter settings I could do it. Using my Nikon P4 I cant. Guess it's forget about metal flake or buy a DSLR with...

    The Highlander was in great shape so there are no before pictures, however my process was as follows: Wash: CWC at strong dilution to aid in removal of previous LSP. Clay: Pinnacle Poly clay. Polish: Menzerna FPII with the Flex DA and a blue finishing pad. The finish was in great shape...

    I just put a coat of ez-creme on the wife's dd, after a cwg heavy wash and a go over with KAIO. It is a dark blue metallic and it looks pretty good. Does ez-creme need to cure before topping with a sealant? If so, how long? Also what would be good to use as a topper? I have DGPS 3.0...

    How long to work Menzerna FPII??

    I have used SIP and po106ff and am pretty familiar as to what the polish looks like (salad oil) when broken down. I just today got in some fpII and it feels different to me than the two listed above. Does this polish finish out like a clear oil, because mine is just sort of buffing away to dry...

    Looking for a reason to buy FK1000P

    I have a pretty good stash of sealants/waxes. Amongst them I have DG105, Zaino, Opti-seal, Sig II, Wolfgang, Collinite 885 & 845 and others. Is there anything FK1000p does better than 885? Any reason to add this to the arsenal other than the fact I would just like to try it.

    collinite 885 or fk100p on jet ski's?

    I know that on the Collinite 885 can it states, "For Marine & Aeronautical Finishes", but with fk1000p having a higher melting point of 250 degrees, which do you guys think would be best on jet skis's? FWIW one of the ski's is black.

    Opti-seal in Zaino Regimen?

    I have read that many Zaino users top z2p or z5p with z-cs and finish next day with z8 as a final topper. I also know from the Zaino website you can, at a later date, re-apply z2p or z5p over the z-cs. Finally to my question, has anyone ever used Opti-seal as a substitute for z-cs in this type...

    Opinion Needed: OptiSeal over Glaze

    I was thinking about applying Poorboys Black Hole Glaze on my Black LaCrosse and following up with OptiSeal. I was wondering however if OptiSeal contains solvents to make it "flash", which would effectively remove or impair the benefits of the glaze?
