All dressed up for a wedding.

Ok its all good to apply your finish coat. Where do you guys apply first? The roof, hood, doors. I always start with the hood then to the roof, decklid and then the sides. How about you?

Have the basics what would you guys use to finish my rig? Tires, Interior. chrome ect.' Plan on using Zaino for the paint.

I remember reading somewhere that you can dilute Z6 since it is concentrated. I would use full strength between applying Z2, but for a QD one could use less potentcy. What can you safely dilute this product with? at what rate?

I had my doubts when buying Z5. Needed to fill in some of these very fine scratches that I tried never to put in. I was so careful over the last 3 mths in washing and drying not to scratch, But they came, very minor & mainly on the hood so I thought, try it. It was about 90 deg here today...

Over the weekend I replaced one of the light fixtures in the garage with an old ceiling fan from my daughters room. Nice to have some air moving around. Anyone else have one?

Once a week my local paper has a good automotive section. One article that caught my eye was titled Chrome Buff's Dream. This product contains no ammonia, or abrasives. It says it cleans, polishes and protects brass, copper, silverplate, sterling, chrome, stainless stell, nickel, bronze...

Subject: 96 Plymouth Voyager Rallye. Ok I have to admit the old daily driver was out of sight and of mind. I hardly drive it anymore and spent most of my time taking care of my GTP. However yesterday was a different story. It looked sad sitting on the street, dirty, not waxed, swirls...

Finally, I broke down and purchased the E Book, Autopia Car Care Guide to Detailing. At $10.95 I had to support the community and gain a little insight. The pages that I flipped thru quickly seems full of valuable info. I'll read the whole book this weekend. For those of you that haven't...

I quess it depends on the temp outside but I generally use warm water to wash and cold water to rinse. How about the rest of you?

Its been about 3 weeks since I applied the first coat of Zaino to our silver grand am. Is there any special prep to insure a good bond for the 2nd coat? Is a good wash with Z7 and qd with Z6 all that is required, or are there any other requirements?

On Saturday it almost reached 60 deg. Decided to wash and apply 2nd coat of Z. Tried to get out early but as I was washing a neighbour came over admiring the car. Right in the middle of washing a panel. Well after we talked I washed the whole car again cause I could see water spots. I tried...

Its 45 deg. out. Could'nt wait any longer had to apply Zaino. Washed with dawn, then rewashed with Z7. Used about 1 oz. of Z1 and about the same amount of Z2. Used Z6 on applicator when I applied Z2. How long at this temp. should I wait before buffing off? It's sunny out but windy, blowing...

Just placed my order on Monday Mar. 11 and come home today to find a package already here. Z1, Z2, Z6, Z7 and 2 applicator pads. Thats service, :xyxthumbs So I set out to wash my new car (4 days old) for the very first time. It was cold out low 40's, but now I could'nt resist. Went out to...

I have 5 or so stone chips in the hood of my 96 minivan. I have tried in the past to touch these up but I'm not very good at it. Applied it to heavy ect. and you can see it a mile away. Would you please give me an idea on the best procedure. Do you apply the paint and then a clear coat over...
