I observed a friend of mine using this product on the interior of his C5 Corvette and he gave me the remaining 1/4 of his bottle to try. First off, I can't stand an interior dressing/conditioner that is shiny. For me it has to be a satin finish. So that was my primary criteria. Secondly...

We're all car guys here. I assume, at some point, when you were growing up, you saw a car that just knocked your socks off! For me it was the first time I saw the new '68 Corvette (Red/Red)... I'll bet my blood pressure shot up 50 points when I saw that car! (And I was only 16 years...

This was a deal I couldn't pass up, so I bought it. 2002 Grand Prix Coupe/ White/ EXCEPTIONALLY Clean and well-maintained. All service records since new, etc. In these pictures, the only thing I had to detail was the engine bay (which was pretty trashed... as if the engine is not really part...

Just another chapter in my male non-understanding of how the female mind works. I'm at Quick Trip filling my car with gas. The place is always packed. About half the fuel customers are women. 100% of the men pumping gas are standing outside their cars. About 90% of the women are SITTING...

Obviously, we all love detailing or we wouldn't spend so much time here!!! :devil: What other hobbies occupy your spare time? For me...... I like baseball, NASCAR, Corvette Road Trips, grilling ribs! and anything that involves my 4 sons!!! (I also like eating KC Bar-B-Que!!! Is that a...

Not a trophy car... I drive it 4-5 times a week.

This is a 2000 VW Jetta that was pretty oxidized. The owner wanted it polished, waxed and interior vacuumed. The plastic HEADLIGHTS were in extremely poor shape, but I couldn't convince here to let me WET-SAND them, (she didn't want to spend the extra $30). So I just polished them with...

I want it, and I want it NOW!!! The guy with the Black Envoy called me on Friday night about 8:30 pm. He told me he was leaving town in his Envoy at noon on Saturday and could I do a quick polish and "wax" job in the morning? "Pretty short notice, isn't it Jack?" Jack...

2000-something GMC Envoy Denali. Extremely nice vehicle, actually very clean. But the swirls were horrible!!!:scared::scared::scared: I thought I'd try a one-step correction and it worked very well. PROCESS: ONR Wash Zaino claybar M205, PC 7424XP, LC Orange Pad (One Step) Blackfire Wet...

This was one ugly Porsche. (Sorry Porsche guys, I know that sounds like blasphemy!) The guy called me and said he had a red Porsche and needed it polished and vacuumed. After examining the vehicle, I told him not to expect "showroom new". He said he understood and, Well, no matter what you...

This was a paint correction on a "Survivor" original 1963 Corvette Coupe, 327/340hp. Original paint, 72,000 miles. The paint was oxidized, but I've definitely seen worse. Process: Washed with ONR Claybar with Zaino Clay M105 by PC7424XP with LC Orange M205 by PC7424XP with LC White IPA...

After buying the Corvette two weeks ago, I put the 2000 Trans Am on eBay and Craigslist. eBay went no where. I got 5 calls on the Craigslist ad. A guy from Lake Stockton drove up to see the car last Sunday. We were about $2000 apart on price so I let it go. He called me last night and said...

I'm a long time Zaino user, so I know that I can tell my customers that two coats of Z2Pro will give them at least 6 months of quality protection. If garaged, more. I haven't been using Blackfire WD long enough to know what kind of longevity to expect. But I've been asked a couple times by...

It was 99 degrees with a heat index of 108, but that wasn't enough to stop 200 Corvette owners from showing up for the annual "Corvettes on the Square" in Independence, MO on Saturday. The Square in old downtown Independence is under construction/restoration, but took a one-day time-out for the...

I've been using Blackfire Wet Diamond for a few months now, and it's a very impressive product. I have applied both by hand and by PC with excellent success. QUESTION: For hand application, has anyone (besides me:biggrin:) used a spritz of water either on the pad or on the paint, to make...

I'm interested in purchasing a handheld vac to keep in the car for quick pickups before a car show, etc. I'd like one that's powerful, but small enough to store in the trunk of the Vette without taking up too much space. It would also be nice to just get out the mini-vac while my wife runs...

For engine bay dressing...... I used CD2 Engine Detailer for years. Then the availability went down and the price went up. Someone told me to try Stoner TrimShine on plastic, rubber engine parts as a substitute for CD2. Just as good and half the price, they said. I've been using it ever...

Get the car out of the DRIVEWAY!!!! Sorry about that guys!!!:biggrin::biggrin::banghead::biggrin::biggrin: Last week I did a full detail on my 03 Corvette, but it was raining and all I had were indoor shots. So I snapped some quickies after applying one more coat of Blackfire WD and Z8. I'll...
