What is the shelf life of ZFX? Mine turned into solid inside little blue bottle in less than 2 years :( . It was kinda embarrassing since I was bragging to my friend about Zaino for months and found out about the problem only after the car was prepped and ready for Z2. I don't have any Z1 so...

Weather and time permitting I'm going to make a switch from Klasse/P21S to Zaino next week. Tell me what I'm going to gain making a switch, I'm posting 2 latest pics of my combo:

Many people posted lately that they have durability issues with their P21S and S100 carnauba, in some cases it's been reported that it lasts only a few days. I'm very happy to say that one coat of P21S/S100 lasts good 8 weeks on one of my cars :xyxthumbs . This is my wife's daily driver and...

...and man, I'm happy to see it and anxious to try:

These are the pics from a dealer loaner. What do you think caused brake calipers to look like that? I suspect some strong acid cleaner.

I've heard that it's very difficult to tint rear window because of DOT Matrix and tint not sticking to it. What are your experiences and suggestions?

I'm going to tint my car (probably 35%) and wonder what brand tint do you recommend? What should I look at when choosing the shop? Do you have any recommendations for shop in Memphis, TN?

My car got damaged from hail last sunday:mad: . Damage isn't severe but noticable, especially on the roof and the hood. I talked to my insurance agent but they just took the report and couldn't tell me how damage like this is repaired. Do you think that car needs to be repainted? I feel...

I followed the advice of a fellow Autopian - Metallic Mike and checked local CarQuest store looking for Klasse. They had three 16.9 oz bottles of SG, but couldn't figure out the price. Finally they said it was discontinued and the price was $1.69/bottle so I bought all three bottles (great...

I was checking out the specials on CMA site (BTW they have good Klasse sale this week) and I run into S100 products. According to DavidB S100 wax and P21S wax are the same products. There are more S100 products that look very similar to P21S and check out price differences: S100 Carnauba paste...

I have really tough time trying to clean tan leather seat in my Lexus. It's only part of a seat where my lower back touches the seat and bolsters. Looks like dirt is in those little grooves. I've tried Lexol cleaner, Eagle One Leather Cleaner and even ZAP spot remover as well as peroxide...

Hey guys, check this out:

It seems like every time I wash my car it rains. I hate it !!! My wife is laughing at me enough and now she predicts the weather! It didn't look like rain at all yesterday and I even checked the weather channel... washed the car, went to the movies and when came back it starts raining and the...

Do you think you can apply another coat of SG after one week and not washing the car before, just QDing? Car was in a garage most of the time and all dust and dirt can be easily removed by QDing only.

I am new to this forum and car detailing at this level - you guys are amazing!- and have a newbie question: I noticed that many of you use 3M SMR for paint preparation, why not use just AIO? not strong enough? Do you use it only as a sealant? I have a gold '00 RX300 that is in pretty good...
