    Zaino

    So, I finally took the plunge and just ordered some Zaino and while I know it is not a product that is sold at PAC, I'm going to review it here as a comparison to Blackfire Wet Diamond. Right now, Wet Diamond is my #1 LSP. Simply said, I've never used something which I liked so much, but I've...

    303 Protectant

    In a previous thread I used Wet Diamond for the first time on my wife's silver Honda CR-V (see here http://truthindetailing.com/Forum/showthread.php?t=904&highlight=CR-V) and as a part of that detail job I used 303 Protectant (for the first time) on the CR-V's plastic exterior trim. You'll see...

    Why Black?

    Why is a black car considered the pinnacle for testing a LSP? You have heard it a million times... "if it looks good on black, it'll look good on anything". So I was thinking about this and I wanted to know what about black specifically, as opposed to red, or vibrant blue, metallic purple...

    Daytona Speed Master Wheel Brush

    Anyone use it and is it any good? Us folks up in Soviet Canuckistan don't have nearly the option yall have in the States in terms of selection so I'm looking to get a new wheel brush and the Daytona Speed Master is about the only one I can find. It's going to run me about $40 with tax +...

    I wonder what will happen when...

    I was at the AG site recently and one of the things I'm not fond of on that site and other detailing sites (like it) is the notion (from some) that "I would never use that OTC product on my car". I know that AG sells OTC products, but lets face it, by in large they really push a few products...

    Online vendor's obligations

    So, there is this online vendor I use (at times) for auto care products (not PAC) and on their website they have an area for "customer reviews" of a particular product which I have used in the past. It seems that everytime I've reviewed a product positively, they put up the review, but any time...

    S100 thoughts

    Okay, I've read about this debate all over the place (and I don't care for having the debate take place here) but I just wanted to know if anyone REALLY knows if S100 and P21's is the same product and if not, does anyone have extensive experience using them both, can talk to me about their...

    Black Audi A8 (Another Wet Diamond Car)

    So, I've been meaning to get to my brother-in-law's Audi A8 and today was FINALLy the day. Unfortunately, I was short on time so I could not and did not do a full correction (which this car desperately needs). The car is black, COVERED in swirls, but what is more important is that it is also...

    Single Stage Paint

    So, I've officially decided that I DO NOT like single stage paint. My mother has a Taffeta White Honda Civic that is SS paint, and for the life of me, I have NO idea why some people prefer it over CC. Time and again, I'm forced to go back to this car and polish of the vehicle. I created a...

    WGDG Sealant 3.0 - Review

    So, last weekend I tried my new BF Wet Diamond and today I got to try one of my new "product toys" that I obtained from Biolink in a trade. Biolink sent me some Wolfgang Deep Gloss Paint Sealant 3.0 in a 2oz sample. I have heard many good things about this product so I was anxious to try it...

    Water Based Leather Cleaners

    Recently I remember reading a thread about cleaning leather and akimel wrote a line about the fact that he felt "water based" leather cleaners were the way to go and once you figure that out, the list of cleaners/conditioners is pretty short. My question for Al and anyone else in the know is...

    Blackfire Wet Diamond Review (with Pics No 56k)

    Background For those who've read my posts in the past know that at times I can be a tad "controversial" as far as some of my views on detailing products and their claims. I have NO problem calling a product a dud, if I think it is a dud. In addition, I have NO affiliation to CMA or this...

    Collinite 476s & 2 Meg's Cutting Pads

    I've got two 7006 (burgundy) cutting pads, one brand new in the package, the other used once, with a terry bonnet to remove wax. Make me an offer. I also have a 3/4 full tin of Collinite 476s. Put it all together, split it up, whatever you can come up with, I'm all ears.

    Your opinion wanted...

    So, I have a few questions regarding a new LSP. I'm thinking sealant over wax, although you can convince me otherwise. First things first... 1. Can I get Blackfire Wet Diamond in Canada? If so, where? If not, don't worry I am a part time yankee and can get it shipped to my US address. 2...

    Can't figure this one out...

    About two weeks ago I decided to do a quick job on my mother's terribly maintained White 2003 Honda Civic. I *think* it is a clear coat paint job but is definitely NOT metallic, rather a flat white. As I said, the car is not well maintained. Drive through car washes, touchless, brushless...

    Rate your current LSP arsenal

    So, the question is, what is in your current LSP arsenal and how would you rate them on a subjective scale 1-10 on your overall opinion (considering, looks, ease of use, durability and cost). Here is my CURRENT arsenal and how I rate them. 1. NXT 2.0 - 9/10 1. Collinite 845 (trace...

    Hockey Visor Scratches/Swirls

    Okay, all of you detailing geniuses, I've got a question regarding my hockey visor... For many of you Yankees, who don't even know what a "visor" is, I'll show you a picture. For those who actually play hockey and use a visor, you'll know that no matter how hard you try to protect...

    M105/m205

    I keep reading more and more about this combination and it seems like they are almost universally getting raves. A few haven't been that big on them, but the general consensus is that these two products have "changed the game" so to speak. I've used M105 and I loved it, but never M205 so I...
