I just can't stand seeing a beautiful car with rusted rotors....... I paint my calipers and rotors with Hi-Temp Engine paint each time I rotate the tires.....(usually twice a year)...... No rust, no ugly primer........just SHINE! And very easy to keep clean.

There has been some discussion about displaying your previously-won trophies and awards at a car show. Some guys will boldly display a host of gold and chrome troph's right in front for all the world to see...... Others will tastefully display a few in the back seat or trunk. Still...

Husband/boyfriend for you ladies! I guess I'm a really lucky guy. My awesome wife loves...... 1. Cars 2. Car shows 3. Customizing 4. Detailing 5. Helping me detail 6. NASCAR 7. Drag Racing 8. Basketball 9. Football 10. Shopping 9 out of 10 is not bad. (I've...

My BIGGEST pet peeve of all time......parking lots. I'm just blowing off some steam here. I posted something similar regarding door-dings, but this is really about what can happen in parking lots. I love to see my car, perfectly detailed, sitting all alone at the very back of a...

I certainly am liking this new 'Car Shows & Concours' category! Since details matter at car shows, I thought I'd share some info about detailing the under-carriage. When it comes down to judging time, and the white gloves go on........those judges are looking for any car that has a slight...

My next "detailing-fanatic" purchase will be a PC....... Do you use the PC for: 1. Applying Wax / Polish? 2. Removing Wax / Polish? 3. Buffing only? 4. All of the above..... If you use it for applying wax or polish, what is the advantage of applying by PC rather than by hand...

I was reading David B's article about detailing brushes..... I have many brushes in my detailing kit, but not a rug brush... My detailing life will not be complete without one. 1. Where to buy? 2. Anyone have a picture of this mysterious brush? Thanks...........Bill.......

You guys with coupes have it MADE! The rear door hinges and jambs on our 4-door sedans are a PAIN to get clean and keep clean........:mad: I have used the "spray and rinse" method.......not so great.....risk of wet carpet, leaves residue, etc. I have used the QD and towel wipe...

I use rubber floor mats in the winter to keep the "krud" off the carpet......they catch all the salt, sand, water, etc. After washing them, they look kind of dull and scratched. What is the best treatment for the mats, to keep them looking nice but NOT SLICK. Thanks........Bill.......

My understanding is that Zaino is a car polish product. (I am referring to Z2)... Zaino purists will argue that Z2/Z6 is all the paint protection your car needs. I am not convinced that is true. What I like about Z2/Z6 is that it is incredibly shiney and very long-lasting. Do I...

I currently have a full time job, which has nothing to do with car detailing...... But I love car detailing and frequently detail "friends" cars for a small nominal fee..... I am interested in starting a detailing business, on the side, which could turn into my full time business, once I...

We had a rare 60+ degree sunny FEBRUARY day here in Kansas City! Washed lots of Road-Crud, Sand, and the much-dreaded Salt:shocked down into the gutter! Seriously, a BEFORE & AFTER, would have been too much for you to bear! I spent 6 hours doing this....... :cool: :cool: :cool:

As we drive our cars, little things happen, almost on a daily basis, that cause little imperfections in the paint, interior, glass, etc. I HATE THAT!!!!! But unless our cars are enshrined in a glass vault, it's unavoidable. You can't enjoy your car if you're not driving it! The worst...

Many of you saw my post over at Autopia University, showing off my engine bay pics. I was asked if I would write an article on painting and clearcoating parts in the engine compartment. My 2001 Grand Prix started off pretty plain-Jane when the hood was opened. Actually, it was all a...

Hey, everyone....... I'm brand new to the forum, as you can see by my post count! Just a quick comment and question and then I'll be browsing forever.:) I've been a Zaino user since last summer. Personally, I've been polishing cars for over 30 years and its the best I've used...
