    chrome polishing

    just washing chrome rims makes them look good, but i'm wondering if putting a coat of nxt tech wax on them will also make a big difference and be worth it?

    how'd i do?

    i'm not quite finished, but the pictures i have of my hood (the hood looked/swirled worse than any other body panel on the car, by far) are astonishing enough to give you guys the idea of how good it currently looks. i used DACP, #9, and then followed with NXT (all with the PC) :cool: before...

    blowers for drying the car

    i bought a blower and tried this the other day. firstly, i did it in my garage with the door closed. if i do it outside, i have no shade, so the big water drops on the car dry and leave marks before i can get to them. but, inside just blew a ton of dust onto my car as it was drying off. i...

    colorx instead of #9?

    i used DACP on my finish with the PC, and then i went to #9, then to nxt. unfortunately, somewhere in the #9 process, i got problems with the #9 smearing quite badly, and i had to use (what seemed) like a half a bottle of QD to take the smear away. i don't know if #9 normally does this, or if...

    which products to use?

    i have some menzerna IP, DACP, #9, and then i plan to top with NXT. how should i go about doing this? no, i don't have menzerna FP, and i only have 12 oz of the IP (a friend gave me some). should i even use the menzerna at all if i don't have the final polish for it? and i am using this with...

    problems and pc suggestions

    i'm going to make a really long story very short (not very, but i'll try). the sprinkler system in my apt complex stained my clear coat. i tried everything from clay bar to #9, but nothing took the stains out. i finally used DACP by hand and got out the stains. unknowing of what caused...

    what's the deal with zaino users?

    i own an f-body (camaro/firebird) and i've been on many f-body message boards in the last 2 years. they all think that zaino is the best stuff ever. i've never run into one f-body user that doesn't either say, "i use zaino and this is the best stuff i've ever used and the best product...

    help with indention

    i call this an indention because it's too small to be a dent, and yet too big to be a scratch. my plastic (or fiberglass) rear fender got hit the other day (backed into, or something slight) and this is the outcome: you can tell this is a square object that hit me, and three of the...

    Black Magic Paste Wax

    what's the consensus on this stuff? would it be a good replacement for meguiar's #16 (i can't get that one locally). i'm wanting to put it on top of nxt on a navy blue metallic paint. thanks!

    swirls aren't really gone

    this weekend i used #83, #9, and followed up with one coat of nxt. some of the car did real well (the sides), but the hood didn't do so well. i can tell that there are probably 75% lesser amount of swirls than before, but there are still swirls. and light scratches too. the DACP just...

    i bit the bullet

    and i purchased some DACP (#83), and some #9 this afternoon. i also got some viper MF towels and terry cloths. i already had some colorx and tech wax at home. i know some people use glazes and other products when doing this process, but i wanted to only use stuff that i could get locally...

    meguiars DACP

    i'm trying this thread for a second time. the first time it either got deleted, moved, or something, cause i cannot find it. i have a gm navy blue metallic 2000 camaro. i use nxt on it, and it looks good most of the time. nighttime street lamp reflections or sunlight reflections have many...
