    Time for new supplies, recommendations?

    Well, I went to wash, clay, and Zaino today to discover my ZFX is dried out. So, before I go and buy more Zaino supplies I wanted to ask to see if there is anything I should look at instead. I liked Zaino because it was relatively easy to apply and once you did, you were done for 6 months...

    The basics: Wash and dry

    Well, somewhere between washing and drying all of my swirls have pretty much returned on my black Z-28. I'm not sure where or how though. I'm using a sheepskin washmit from autopia carecar and washing with Eagle One Wet wash. When I dry, I use a combination of the California water blade and...

    My Black Z-28

    Well after MUCH work and stress this is my final result. I should probably use the word 'final' loosly as I know I'll be going at it again soon enough with new products and new ideas. This was my first real paint detail so I think it turned out rather well! My process: Claybar Meguiars #2...

    I just wanna cry...

    I can't, simply can't win. Last weekend I spent two full days detailing the exterior of my black Camaro. Went at it with #2, Scratch X, and then the entire Zaino line. It was flawless and beautiful! I was so happy with the way it turned out, I never thought it would look so good and I did it...

    What am I doing wrong?? Dirt after washing...

    I dont get it!?! I just finished a full exterior detail and this is the second wash after finally achieving a crystal smooth, glossy, swirl free finish, however I can't for the life of me seem to get all the dirt and dust off while washing! What am I doing wrong? I'm using Eagle One Wet wash...

    Many issues with a black Z-28, please help!

    I'm just getting started on the finish on my black 2000 Z-28 and my biggest problem is the swirl marks. There are tons of them and they are quite obvious. It's horrid to be honest. The paint is also in dire need of being claybarred and here are the issues: I got keyed on the drivers...

    Clay after pro. buff?

    If I have my car professionally buffed to remove swirl marks, would I have to clay bar the vehicle after I get it back, or would it be ready to Zaino? Thanks!

    Ever do a stupid thing while detailing?

    Just the other day I decided to quickly wash and Z-6 my car while I had the time. It was VERY dirty. I used a water blade to initially dry my car and after I had done that, and gone over it with a towel to remove any remaining water, I looked at my hood and noticed that I missed a couple spots...

    Couple Zaino pics

    Well I spent the morning claying and Zainoing. I did a quick clay of trouble spots and applied two coats of Z-2 with Z-6 in between using ZFX. I should have spent more time claying because my finish was not as smooth as it was last year but it's still satisfactory. I plan on applying a...

    Zaino and microfiber?

    Can I apply Z-6 with a microfiber applicator? Or should I use a cotton one?

    Anybody in St. Paul/Minneapolis area?

    I'm looking for someone who can remove swirls from my car. Don't need a full detail, as I can wash, Zaino, ect. on my own, but I'm not comfortable using a power tool nor do I have the time right now to spend the whole day hand polishing swirls/scratches. Anyone around that could help me? Thanks
