I know I need to be careful when using the RO on the edges.... But do should I treat the PPF ? Just plexus and wipe ? Or should I use something very light like 1Z red or waxpolish, and actually polish the ppf ? The bottoms of my SUV were getting sandblasted in the winter (the paint...

I've been switching up on my synthetics ( Klasse, Zaino, 1Z Glanz ) for awhile now. They all serve the purpose as my car is black and *traditional caranuba* just doesn't cut in the summer. It's getting cooler and I figuered I would try some good old caranuba, but with still the durability...

No matter how great I get the finish to become after polishing, it seems like I always end up with slight linear drying *scratches*. The car is black and I don't really blot......I do more a traditional wipe. My technique is to first use my WW on the windows and then use the WW on the paint...

I can't use polishes in it but...... Is it safe to say I can use AIO on it ? Do ya'll put wax on it or something like 303 ?

Does Spruh Wax have alot of PD like Glanz......will it remove wax that's on the car already ?

FWIW, my leather is in great condition. I still have 1.5 bottles left of my Griots Leather Conditioner and a small bit left of the Pinncale. I expect it would take me another 1.5-2 years to finish what I have now. Out of the the leather conditioner products out there, I've kinda setteled...

In my stash of glazes, I've got 3M PI-III Finishing Glaze, P21S GEPC, and Meguiars #81. I'm heading out on a roadtrip to meet some clients and want to roll up in my black car with a mirror shine. It's clean and shiny right now, it just doesn't have that nice deep black to it when it's...

Hey All - If I need to give the car a quick glaze/wax to get the car looking good - (it's got some micromarring and slight scratches on the hood - black car), which product will give me the depth & shine I want without too much fuss. I've got GEPC, #81 & 3M PI-III finishing glaze in my...

I will be heading out with my car for a 10 day trip. I really just don't have the time to polish/wax it properly. However, for my client meet, I would love to have the car mint. I do have a about a 3 hour window to work on the paint prior to leaving. What's a good combo that will make the...

It's been awhile since Menzena FMJ was released. For those that have used it, any updates in durability or looks. If you top Menzerna Finishing Touch Glaze with FMJ, any decrease in durability. Seems to be that the product talk on this has died down alot since release........I'm a big fan...

Dedicated Rubber Cleaners like Griots, Mothers, EO Rubber Cleaner ......are these cleaners diluted versions of their equivalent APC or possible Tire Cleaners ? The reason I ask is because I can't seem to find a good rubber cleaner locally. I attempted to clean my brand new tires with just...

Would any local *NYC* know of any shops carrying TW Tirewax. I want to try this product but I can't seem to find this locally. I've checked a Autozone, R&S and Pepboys to no availibility.

Hey All - I'm about to dress my new tires but can't seem to find a dedicated *tire/rubber* cleaner at my local auto supply shops. I was hoping they would have Mothers Tire/Rubber cleaner or the like. I do have APC/EFHI/Citri Gel on hand and would consider this as a last alternative...

Just got a new set of summer tars. What products would you recommend on a NEW tire and continued maitence. There's an interested thread over at RF which suggest that products like 303, Endurance, etc cause browning. I was under the assumption Browning is just a natural process during the life of...

In the recent CMA newsletter, they suggest to use FTG topped with FMJ. I was under the impression the most if not all sealants should be on a bare oil free surface. Because FTG is a "glaze", shouldn't this either prohibit bonding of FMJ or at the least decrease the durability of FMJ versus...

Is it just me or from the pricing structure, CMA is really pushing the kit. The FMJ alone is $40 The Menzerna kit, which include FPII. FTG, FMJ, Menzerna Shampoo and 3 MF Applicators & 3 MF cloths for $70. Either the kit is very aggresively priced or the markup on the FMJ by the single...

At $40 a bottle, it has given me some hestiation to order it. Maybe when some of my supplies have dwindled down, I will get it . Anyone order this $$ sealant.

What is the scoop between polymers vs. acrylic sealants ? Are there any funtional differences in terms of application, durability, color *change*, etc ? I haven't seen Zaino dried on a clear film but Mike P. brought up a good point that has I've thought about. How much can a wax dull/change...

Is anyone familiar with Klasse vs. Zaino when it comes down to durability ? I know both are both very good products but is there a HUGE difference in durability between these 2 products. I've got a black car and facilities for prepping the car is tough. The car is non garaged also so it sits...

is it very well possible that a given brand/type of car wash soap may work well in one region vs. another depending on how the water is in the region. I've used P21S shampoo for years now and it's done the job for me. I've been *saving* a bit lately and picked up some Eagle One and some GC...
