Since I don't have much Z7 wash left over, I think I'm going to try something else. This stuff does not last too long at all if you wash your car every week.

What is the differences between Meguiars #5 and #7 mirror glazes? Is #5 more idea for newer vehicles with good finishes, whereas #7 is for older vehicles with more neglected finishes? Does either one contain abrasives, or are they strictly fillers? Do they both work well hand applied? I'm just...

I'm finally getting a 7424 with the pad kit form autogeek. Porter Cable 7424 & Foam Pad Kit - Car Buffer I'm kind of nervous about using the more agressive pads and polishes until I get a good feel for it, and can try on another car first. In the mean time, I would like to use it to apply...

What would you all reccomend on using for a filler polish to hide swirling and marring? I am looking for something that is non abarasive and works well by hand, thus the reason I'm looking for a filler polish. I also plan to use a carnuba based sealer and carnuba wax, so something that would be...

How well do the Poorboys polishes hide swirling, specifically the Carnuba, Carnuba Blue, and professional polishes? How are they in comparison to vanilla or red moose? Since the Poorboys contains carnuba, would applying a sealer such as Z5 disrupt the previous layer becuase of the synthetic...

I'm looking to pick up some ONR to use in areas that are hard to wash and avoid marring, such as the black portions of the door jambs and stuff under the hood. I planned on using a MF towel to wash and wipe these areas clean. What's a good microfiber to use in these areas, yet will not cause any...

Between a microfiber towel and a 100% high quality cotton towel, which would be better at removing polishes and waxes and providing the most resistance to marring? I was just curious on this since I've noticed that Zaino reccomeds using 100% cotton towels, and I'd be interested in seeing what...

Is there anything out there that I can use on rubber that will not cause water to bead, and just cause it to run off instead? Reason why I am asking is becuase it seems the rubber trim seal on the front window will turn a brownish yellow where the water spot has sat for extended periods of time...

What do you all suggest for good non-abrasive and non-agressive claybars? I've previously used the Meguiars Quick Detail clay, but the clay it seemed kind of hard. How does the Zaino and Sonus bars compare?

What's the difference between these two products? Is either one of them more abrasive than the other? Do both of them work well with the 7424? I've heard that they do well by hand. I'm interested in trying it, but unsure on which to choose.
