I remember a thread where Prepsol wouldn't even cut GW. Just writing to see if it will or not. Got some paint chips to touch up. I usually wetsand the spot prior to touch up but was curious to see if prepsol will remove GW

What's your method on getting wax out of all those nooks and crannies. My keywords in the search engine is not really working for me. I've got some on the door moulding and also on the door pillar area that need some desperate TLC. I'm thinking of using 3M tar remover and plenty of Q tips...

Does Z5 really cover micro swirls ? Any major optical differences between Z2 vs. Z5. I will be using Zaino on a black car so I'm trying to determine is there any + using Z5 on it rather than Z2.

Planning a full attack on the car this weekend. My car is not a daily driver BUT it does sit in my driveway 24/7 and there's hardly any trees on my block. The sun is directly on the car for the most part of the day and it's black. While the ease of S100 (on/off) is great, in the summer, the...

I used this awhile back but it's been sitting on my shelf cause it was such a bear to work with. Seems like alot of folks are using it with some degree of sucess. Any tips/tricks you can provide. What speeds are you using on your PC. It seems like FP/IP behave better at slower speeds vs *6*...

I've been using Chenille Mitts for the past 7 months now.....as I had run out of Sheepskin Mitts and the only thing locally available at that time were a set of Chenille Mitts. The chenille get's grugy after use and the fabric does snag on door corners, etc. Just got some spring detailing...

I was prepping a set of wheels that I am dropping off to someone who is buying my old set. First step was Mothers Clearcoat Polish just to shine it up since it's been sitting in storage. I then applied a nice healty coating of Z16. Just brought back how MUCH I like using Z16 or 303 on tires...

Just my little rant. I guess in time, I'll eventually get the hang of *enough product* vs. more. As I use products, I'm always keeping in mind *thin coats* and while it may seem thin or enough for coverage for me, I know I'm always being a bit excessive. I just opened up the NXT bottle as I used...

I generally wash my MF's in one load and I just rinse the dirty rags, tire rag, etc. I used NXT yesterday and this stuff is OILY. So I sprayed it with some Citri-Gel and let it sit for a couple of minutes. This didn't cut it. I ended up soaking it with Water/Dawn, changed water - another...

Just wanna see if this looks about right. After a long hard day of polishing, and while looks & application of P21s may be great - temps on a black car can get extremely hot. Hot to a point that the caranuba is pretty much gone. My car is outdoors 24/7 and while it's not a daily driver...

It seems it's a shade darker than the OEM paint color on my 540i wheels. It's on it's 2nd coat and it's dark now. I will give it another coat tomorrow, followup with a slight rub of the sandpaper and then apply some clearcoat. Hopefully, it blends in well.........

Can't seem to find any past threads on this. Any pro's or con's other than cost on 6.5" vs. 7.5" pads ? The larger pad will waste a bit more product but other than that, .....am I better off going with 7.5" I can then *cross use* the pads between my DA and rotary.

Anyone have any good links if you have recently or are familar with setting up a merchant / credit card accepting acccont ? I just got a call from my local bank rep and I'm awaiting their figures, but it seemed awfully high.....

Any of ya'll run a mix of water/vinegar as a windshield fluid in the summer ? I'm thinking about trying out this mix this year. Gotta play around with dilution levels. I use straight vinegar at home on the windows followed up with a warm water as a rinse and the windows are sparkling clean...

*Noob* Question. Is isopropyl alcohol more a local pharmacy item or more along the lines of Home Depot (paint section). I didn't see isopropyl alcohol at my local Home Depot but did see denatured alcohol. Are they the same thing - just different name ? Just looking for isopropyl alcohol...

Hopefully, if the weather forcaster are calling it right, it's going to hit above freezing this Saturday. It's been awfully cold in New York. It's not warm enough for me to spend a couple of hours polishing however. I'm thinking about #81, followed up with NXT. Would the oils in #81...

Since 1Z polishes does have minor caranuba in it, does it affect bonding when using products like Zaino. Or is it the latter, and the Caranuba is so minute, that it's nothing to worry about.

How are Griots Sprayer Heads. Between the Meguiars Regular & Hi-Volume Sprayer Head, I like the regular one better. More adjustability in the spray pattern IMO. Never used the Griots though. Just writing to see how the Griots Sprayer Head compares.

Any word on Softpolish coming over stateside ?

alright gang........for those that now have had a chance to play with NXT and are famailiar with UPP, how does UPP compare to NXT. Past threads suggest both offer a great deep wet versus klasse, zaino, etc on darker paint. In my case, it's black I'm working with.
