What does the little blue stuff REALLY do...any ideas? Anyone know what it is (composition)? Has anyone tried to skip it and apply Z2/Z5 and see if it makes an appearance/durability difference?

Hey guys, I just got through with my CLK (exterior). It was clayed ans SMRed about 2 months ago, so I applied GEPC (great stuff!) and then 1x of Souveran (also great stuff :D ). The depth of the black is unreal...and this is just in garage lights. I can't wail until tomorrow to get a good look...

Hey guys. I finally got around to posting some pics. I just detailed my '95 LS400 and posted a few pics in the gallery. I used DACP w/ a PC to remove some swirls (there are still some left under flourescent lights). Then 3x Z5, 1x Z2, QD with Z6. This car was NEVER taken car of since July of...

What do you guys think of the chenille wash mitt available at CMA? The link is: http://www.properautocare.com/chenwasmit.html Is it really 100% cotton? Will it swirl up a black car (the mitt itself, not lodged dirt)? Thanks!

Do I really need to use 3M's SMR or Meg's #9 after DACP? Searches revealed that DACP breaks down into a polish rather quickly, so would the use of a milder polish like #9 or SMR be totally necessary? (unlike FI2 which would probalby need the SMR or #9 afterwards)

Would you all say that using Z6 on either Souveran or S100/P21s is okay for spot bird poop (what a funny word :D ) removal? That's all I intend to do with it. I think it would be okay, but I wanted to run it by the gurus.:xyxthumbs

Guys, check this thread out and let me know what you think. It seems that people have gotten decent results with this product. Anyone ever use it? Thread: http://www.clublexus.com/forums/showthread.php?s=&threadid=68596

From another thread: Just to advocate further discussion, it seems Sal is saying that the clearcoat provides an airtight seal over the paint. This seems plausible. Clearcoat has UV inhibitors already in it (to my understanding), so UV protection for the actual paint is provided there...

Anyone have any experience with Menzerna polishes? Looks like this guy had a good experience. Check it out: http://forums.mbworld.org/forums/showthread.php?s=&threadid=28546 He also used McCalls sealant/wax...any info?

My question is as simple as the subject. :)

I thought I would start this thread in order to list the FACTS known about the differences in PROTECTION offered by a carnuba wax versus any popular sealant, in hopes of helping any searches on this subject. Please add to whatever I put here, as I am no expert by any means. I do believe that...

I've got 2 coats of Z5 and one of Z2 on all 4 of my cars. The T&C Van is a light gold and the Lexus is a light silver. I'm pretty happy with the reflectivness of these 2 cars...I think that the mirror look is impt for lighter cars. The Jeep is a dark silver (the platinum color they had for...

I guess the subject says it all. :D Also, if APC+ does remove Zaino, are there other products that will as well (besides rubbing alcohol). Thx.

I'm just curious...what do you guys sit on when doing doors and fenders with a PC? If you stand or crouch the whole time, what types of pain medication do you take?:p

A friend of mine used those Armor All leather wipes (in the brown bottle) on his leather. It made the leather really slippery. I suspect it was the petrolium distilletes that Armor All in all its wisdom actually put into LEATHER wipes. What should I use to remove all that filth? I plan on using...
