    Zaino and #80

    Can I just wash with Z-7 after using #80, or do I need to use Prepsol or 50/50 alcohol and water before the Zaino? Thanks!

    Four Star UPP

    Even after extensive shaking, my 4*UPP has small specks of material that do not break down during application. Although the specks do not appear to be causing any scratching, I'm still a bit uneasy about using it on my black truck. Is this normal for this product?

    Does KSG Hide Swirls

    I just read the autogeek.net description for KSG and the description contains the following: "Hides and Removes Imperfections. When used in conjunction with Klasse All In One Polish, you will see scratch marks and paint discolorations disappear. This gloss hides and removes more swirls than...

    S&W as Prewash

    Would Poorboy's S&W or QEW be useful as pretreatment to remove the bulk of the surface soil and grime from the paint surface before washing? I would like to use something that would loosen the grime's grip on the surface and allow a water nozzle spray to wash off the majority of the dirt...

    SG Removal Question

    I applied SG in an even thin coat then intended to allow the SG to cure overnight. Well, several things came up and I wasn't able to get back to it until more than 24 hours later. At this point it was dusty enough that I didn't trust QD to remove the dust safely so I washed it with two ounces of...

    Spray & Wipe Waterless Wash

    Is S&W safe(no marring) to use on black for contaminants like pollen during the spring and the two-three day collection of dust? How about road film developed after driving in the rain? At what point would you go to QEW then a standard wash? Thanks for the information!

    Polishing before Zaino

    I'm planning to polish with what I have on hand before applying Zaino, and I need to know if a Z7 wash after using #80 is sufficient or should I wipe down with 50/50 water/alcohol before Z5? Perhaps just a wipedown with Z6 would be OK? What do you Zaino users think?

    A little confused about QEW

    I'm interested in trying QEW in the quest to reduce the risk of water spots on my black truck. But, I have a couple questions about QEW: Does QEW have superior cleaning properties or the ability to lift soil from the surface (as compared to a standard car wash soap), or is the primary benefit...

    QEW vs. Regular Wash Soap

    After reading many, many thread on QEW, I think the main differences between QEW and regular car wash soap is; QEW has fewer suds, releases dirt from the mitt easier and does not require a seperate rinse. Is this correct? Does QEW provide greater ability to lift soil from the surface? With a...

    Optimum Car Wax Application

    I'm a little confused on the proper application of this product, and the website was not much help. I've read to apply it like a QD and to a apply it with a PC. Which is correct? If both methods work, what it is the best procedure, and do you let it haze before removing?:confused:

    VOC Regulations

    I understand Meguair's is reformulating many products to meet the new VOC regs going into effect January 1. What about products like VM and UPP? Any other Autopia products being reformulated for January 1?

    4*UPP Odor Question

    Why does UPP have such a strong solvent smell when the product description states that it is water based? If the odor is the solvent, can UPP be layered?

    Klasse Durability

    How can you tell if SG is still present? I've applied three coats using the WOWO method, and the beading has decreased significantly in only three weeks. The SG was applied after AIO and a 24 hour period was allowed between coats. I use Sonus Acrylic Spritz after washing. Does Sonus Acrylic...

    A few LSP Questions

    Is Collinite 476S slicker than #16? Will topping Z5 with #16 or UPP reduce the Z5 life span? Does Z5 look different than Z2? If so, in what way is it visually different? Thanks!

    Zaino and Klasse

    How does Z5 look as compared to SG on black? I know what SG and Z2 looks like on my black truck, but I havn't used Z5. I've been told Z5 and SG look similar, but I would not mistake Z2 for SG. Is there really a visual difference in look between Z2 and Z5?

    Prep-Sol

    Is Dupont Prep-Sol safe to use without damaging the clear coat? I've read here that Prep-Sol is a good product to use for tree sap, and I bought some Prep-Sol this morning for some small spots of oak tree sap. However, on the back of the can, there is a warning that Prep-Sol soaked rags should...
