    My Zaino vs. #26 test with photos

    I finally decided to compare the two for myself side by side on my own car. It's black and has no clear coat, so your mileage may vary. I took these pictures one day apart in the same place from the same angle with the same weather with the same camera so it's about as scientific as I'm going...

    Need tips for drying damp carpet

    I did a Mercury Mountaineer a couple days ago. The carpet was so filthy I had to get it pretty wet to get it clean. I got up everything I could with the shop vac, but it was raining out and didn't dry all the way. Now it smells like a wet dog (this truck usually has 2 black labs in the back...

    Need advice on what do do with this Prelude (see pic)

    I'm helping out a friend who just bought a Black '96 Prelude. He got a great deal on it ($3500) but the paint is in pretty bad shape. It sat outside under some pine trees for about the last year, and I doubt it was ever even waxed before then by the looks of it. It has a clear coat. So...

    Looking for a post - BMW 2002 Before and After

    Last night I saw a post with a 70's BMW 2002 that was completely trashed and was restored beautifully with some wet sanding I believe. I'm trying to do a '91 Probe that has probably never been waxed before. It's supposed to be Blue, but the top is about half white. I think there is some...

    Newb needs advice-detailing a neglected 5 year old car Sat.

    My sister has a 98 3000GT that she is getting ready to sell so I'm going to clean it up for her. She's probably waxed it once and washed it a few times in the 5 years she has had it. On top of that, the car sits in her driveway under a canopy of pine trees. I have my work cut out for me...
