Hi all, I wanted to get this thread rolling right away (so I wouldn't slack and not post what I had planned on posting)..It is not a complete review of all products....yet...stay tuned.. I thought I read someplace that your first 100 posts or so should be posted to this forum..if this does...

I was just looking at the Lake County site, and noticed that they have a blue foam VC pad for "final finishing". I always thought the black pad was the least aggressive :nixweiss ..anyone ever used a BLUE LC VC pad??? Is there any noticeable difference between it and the black pads?

Hi all, I've done the Zaino thing for the last 2 car show "seasons", and want to move on. The car is a Matador Red 1970 Oldsmobile 442 W-30. The once perfect paint has been somewhat neglected (by Autopian standards) this "season" and has lots of micromaring and swirl marks... my only guess is...

Getting ready to sell my 98 civic ex (a black one)...I dont have any time, so Tuesday I took it to a "pro" to have it detailed...Its been in the garage ever since I drove it home.

Hi all...a few questions before I attack my car with the PC and a yellow foam pad.....I used 3M SMR with a white foam pad on the car, but I am still not happy with the results. I want to use FI II but I am wondering if it is newbie safe...I was planning on using FI II with a fresh white foam pad...

Hello, I have used the Zaino line on our Matador Red 1970 442 W30, and I am very pleased with the overall results. There are still quite a few scratches, and a few swirl marks that Z-5 cant quite make disappear (even after 8 hand applications). I was wondering if what I use on my daily driver...
