Hey guys i was wondering if using Einszett Metallic Polish than using AIO would basically kill what i just did with the Einszett. Or is it a decent step? I have alot of metallic in my paint and i find that AIO/SG really made it pop but than i came across this Einszett Metallic Polish, i figure...

Ok, before any flames, i did a search for Vanilla moose to gather some intel on it. I have been seeing alot of posts about it being used by the pros and to say the least it has tickled my fancy. Right now the only product i have used on my car's paint since it was repainted in March 03 is...

I have some scratches on my back bumper (pictures to follow) and im not quite sure what they are from, you can feel them a bit with your fingernail but not that much. I tried using SMR with a yellow pad and that didn't help to much. Than i tried using Menzerna with a yellow pad and nothing too...

Alright, i'll cut right to it. I want the metal flake in my paint to "pop" and really come alive and shine. My paint is pretty new, painted in March, 02 viper blue base coat with electron blue mixed in. The flake didn't really come alive until i applied AIO and SGX1, i just added another...

Finally, FINALLY i got to detail my car last saturday after waiting forever for all my toys, porter cable, and everything else, and also waiting for the paint to fully cure. Let me know what you think guys. Yeah i wish i had more pics but i was running out of light. Background: Car is a...

I have a porter cable 7424 and i need to color sand some areas (inside of door) and some other areas that need it, some areas are so hard to reach that a machine may never get in there. So i have 2 questions. 1) the areas (like under a door handle where you can see) that are unreachable by...

Ok my gf's white 95 dodge neon has a hell of alot of tree sap and other contaminants on the surface. They seem to be baked in and extremely difficult to remove. Since she does not care about her surface too much we didn't opt for a super expensive car wash. We picked up 2001 car wash (i...

I have a freshly painted vehicle with only 3M IMperial hand glaze and for those touchups i wanted a QD, i can't find meguiars final inspection anywhere locally but i did come across 3M's gloss enhancer. it says it contains isotrophyl alcohol - will it do anything to the freshly cured paint? Does...

To bring the shine up? From what i've read when a car comes out of the booth it has a dull finish and needs to be rubbed out in order to achieve a glossy finish, what product(s) do they use for this? I have some dull spots on a freshly painted car (that are in hard to reach areas that i'm sure...

I have recently got a new paint job and on the inside of the fenders where there is a lip for the hood to close into. Anyway its pretty dull looking, so i tried to apply some 3M Finesse-IT II finishing material for fiberglass (to bring the shine up) and it didn't do much. It also feels very...

I have done numerous searches on the net to try to find a bodyshop like resource to help me fix my chipping paint and i have only come up with certain "systems". I just want techniques! My exhaust tip is hitting the underside of my bumper and thus has made some paint chip and it looks pretty...

Tried a search but maybe i didn't word it correctly, anyway i have about 10 or so days until my paint is 30 days cured so in the mean time i intend to use 3M Imperial Hand Glaze to keep the paint nice. What kinda car wash should i use? I was thinking of Pinnacle Bodywork shampoo, will that...

Ok, i've just been doing this in my head so far because i haven't gotten any of the products, they are all being ordered in a timely fashion so i can have everything at once. Anyway, from general reading a carnuba wax on a dark colored car (such as pinaccle) will yeild a very deep shine. I don't...

I have a few scratches and blemishes on the rear lights of my 02 t/a, i guess from crappy towels and carelessness when i am not with it. I went to the plastic care section of properautocare.com to look at products and alot are for plastic films on headlights or plexiglass windows, now i was...

I have a few areas that have very small paint bubbles, i was wondering how to get rid of these. I have a link to a high quality picture showing the bubble but trust me it doesn't help too much, the car had some rain drops on it and it almost looks like a rain drop, but just to give you an idea...

Ok, i accidently dropped my Finesse-it bottle on my back bumper the other day and it left some pretty crappy scratches, they don't look too deep, and a friend who works for a bodyshop says they look like they can be buffed out. Below are links to them, they are very high quality so if you have a...

Hey guys, i've used zaino for years and its a great product but now i recently had my car repainted with a custom paint job, 2002 GM Electron Blue Metallic with PPG paint. It came out nice but there are certain spots that appear dull, i am using 3M Finesse-III finishing glaze to bring out the...
