I'm planning on using Collonite 845 again, but I'd like to get some tips on what else I can use to make it look better. Here's what I plan on doing and in order. Collonite 845 Polycharged - 2 layers Poorboys EX Poycharged DWG, maybe I'll Polycharge this too I was planning on using the...

I've got some questions on the Zaino cleaner and conditioners since I'm thinking of switching to them. What is the best method for applying and removing both of them? I currently use older white cotton t shirts for applying and removing the crappy Meguiars gold class leather cleaner and...

Lately I've noticed that water on my windshield just kind of sits and collects, and does not run off quickly or even bead. I've been thinking of putting on some rain-x, but I have not used this stuff in many years. Has anyone had trouble with water etching on the glass with rain-x on the glass...

I'm looking at getting the Ultima Interior Guard to try on my dash and other hard plastics on the interior. Does the Ultima Interior Shampoo Gel need to be used prior to using the Interior Guard? How well does it actually work compared to any other interior dressing? How is it at repelling dust...

What would you all reccomend cleaning parts that are made from cast iron and aluminum? Such as brake calipers, engine blocks, cam covers, etc? My brake calipers are starting to look real nasty from all of the brake dust. I've though of using Simple Green, but from what I've heard it can pit and...

I've been lookin at the Ultima Paint Guard Plus to use since I was extremely impressed with the Tire Guard Plus that I've been using. According to the application directions, multiple layers can be applied 12 hours apart. Since my car sits outside there's no way I can apply it 12 hours later...

I have a friend that wants me to detail his car that had the front bumper and hood repainted almost 4 months ago. I've heard that is best to wait at least 3 months befopre applying any kind of waxes, but is that really true and would it be best to wait longer? How can I tell it has fully cured...

I recently picked up the polycharger kit, and was thinking of trying it with NXT 2.0 since it's supposed to last longer than the original. Plus, I've always like the look of the NXT waxes but hated how they held up. Has anyone here tried polycharging the NXT 2.0 wax? What kind of durability did...

I've been a long time user of Zaino Z7, since it works great at cleaning and leaving a nice finish. The only thing I don't like is that is seems to be too tough and really reduces the life of any LSP other than Zaino. I've been looking at the Optimum wash and it claims to make plenty of suds and...

Do you all have any reccomendations for getting scratches out of the sideview mirror glass? I some how got a couple small ones that are not that deep. I tried some Zaino Z12 glass cleaner on them which says it will take care of small scratches. It works great on contaminants, but I guess not so...

I've been trying to get ahold of someone at the Autopia store for almost a week now. I've tried sending a message though their site, no response. Tried the live help when it was supposedly up, no response. I've also tried calling, but I keep getting a recording. I've been wanting to order a few...

I've become interesting in trying out the Polycharger, since it's supposed to really increase the durability from what I've seen. On the autopia store it lists being compatible with LSPs like Meguiars and Mothers, but it also said many more. Does anyone know if 845 is listed in the compatibility...

How well do you all think that Z5 would hold up on top of a carnuba or a carnuba based sealer if I used DWG between them? I polished a friends car around 4 months ago, and never used dishsoap to wash it before or after. I used DWG topped with Z5 x3, and it still has the small tight beading after...

I've got a few little areas of rail dust on my rear, but I was unable to remove them using the Meguiars quick clay. I'm looking for something a little stronger, but will not mar everything up unless being very careful. What about the Clay magic or sonus clays, how are they? I'm not really to...

I'm thinking of putting some light tinted film on my taillights, similar to this. Smoked Taillight Film Kits I'm wondering if I ever remove it becuase I get tired of it, will it leave a real messy residue that would be hard to remove? Has anyone tried this stuff and remove it before? I'd...

What do you all reccomend on taking the swirls out of GM factory polished wheels, not chrome or aluminum? I don't think the PC is going to do anything on the thin lip and spokes.

I've been using the Danase Swirl abolishers on my GMs, and they are OK, but it takes many passes with my PC to do. What do you all use for polishing and finishing off newer GM finishes?

What is the difference between Zaino's Z2 and Z5? Do they work better in combination? Is one more durable than the other? What would work better for a dark colored car?

This afternoon I came out to a pile of bird sh*t on the roof of my car, and was unable to get it cleaned off until I got home. It was sitting on it for maybe 3-4 hours my guess in 90 degree heat. It turns out after it cleaned it off there was a little bit of etching left over from where it sat...

Since I always like to try different polishes and waxes from time to time, I've been thinking of trying out some Zymol. No not the $150+ stuff. I've been looking at the Zymol Carbon since it is for darker cars. I've never touched Zymol before, so maybe some of you all with past experiences could...
