Recently noticed swirls in proper light which I suspect was due to drying technique - Cali Waterblade followed by Neatitems MF (suspect the latter as mechanism of problem) ? MF over surface in part dry from waterblade?. Have seen others comment on blotting technique - seems that this would not...

Thought I was doing everything correctly; 100% cotton mit from CMA; drying with initial Cali Waterblade and remainder with Neatitems MF terry then Zaino. Black Sapphire metalic; When done in certain light see lots of smear type swirls - definately tiny scratch marks, zillions! Gives it almost a...

What do you think of the sponges with overlying nylon mesh for removing bugs.

Any advise on how to do this without cutting the binding thread which would cause the edge to unravel.

1. What do you think of the Calif Water Blade? 2. Is the Baja Sol Calif Water Blade and Duster truely the "original" and identical products just marketed under the Target Baja Sol brand or are these in any way different.

In the "Guide to Detailing" handbook from Autopia on their section of waxing/sealants they comment regarding dark colors - " Black cars can look a little sterile or silvery in the direct sunlight. And, the mirror-like polymers can collect minor swirls and actually highlight paint flaws." With...

New Black Saphire metallic BMW. Would like to do it right on this vehicle - hate swirls and love a deep "wet" appearing finish. Many on this website speak highly of Zaino, and am planning on trying this with the sequence of preparation and application as recommended. Any recommendations or...
