Since the "other" detailing site seems to be down for the count, I found my way over here to post my first impressions of Zaino Z-PC. I guess I'm just lucky in the respect that UPS gets my orders from the Zaino store to me in 2 days. I ordered a bottle of Z-PC on Wednesday and it arrived on...

Earlier this week I sent an email to Sal Zaino asking when the new Z-8 booster spray would be out. He replied "Z-8 will be ready in about 1 to 2 weeks". I'm waiting until it comes out to place an order for the Z-8 and some Z-2 pro. I've detailed through two formulations of Z-2 and Z-5, plus...

For the past week or two, my I haven't been getting the "new mail" icon on the Yahoo homepage, even when I have new mail. This has been a regular occurrence. Then tonight I went to the Yahoo homepage and saw the "new mail" icon, got all excited, but I didn't have any new mail. I checked...

If you've been wanting to buy a mini, this is a good time. I was just browsing the online Apple store and they have 4 GB minis on closeout for $179. Doh! I just paid $250 for one 2 months ago. http://www.apple.com/store Click on the red "SAVE" tag at the bottom right of the page...

I'd like to have something other than the stock Silverado wheels on my truck, but I really can't justify shelling out $1000+ for them. So I was wondering how these cheap black Cragar wheels would look. http://www.cragarwheel.com/images/products/397.jpg My truck is dark metallic gray, but...

Is there an accountant in the house? :bounce My question is simple: Can I just add up the sales tax from all of the receipts I've saved over the past year and deduct this amount? In my location there is both a state and a local sales tax. I have been remodeling my house, so the state...

The midwest got a break in the winter weather this weekend, so I got in a badly needed wash and a quick coat of sealant on Saturday. Back in October I put on Zaino Z2/ZFX x3, and it's only had 1 or 2 hand washes since. The Zaino was still beading though. Saturday I did: Meguiar's Gold...

Just detail with butter and sour cream :p http://www.ananova.com/news/story/sm_1115917.html?menu=news.quirkies

I just had some color-matched running boards put on my truck and need a product to use on the fresh paint for a while. I have some 3M SMR and was just wondering if the oils would be good enough to give the new paint some protection. I stopped by NAPA today and they did have some 3M IHG, but it...

I had some Bremen running boards installed on my Silverado yesterday and I'm really pleased with them! I think they turned my truck from a plain regular cab into something a little more special. Here are some before/after shots. Before is FMJ over #80, after is AIO/SG.

Since NXT "killed my FMJ" (see previous thread ), I had originally intended to redo my truck this weekend with AIO and FMJ. But when I started the detail I realized that most of my detailing supplies were at my new house (I'm kind of in the middle of a move). I had a little 2 oz. bottle of...

QEW wash AIO x1 w/PC and CMA white pad SG x1 w/microfiber pad (WOO method) Detail details I haven't used Klasse Sealant Glaze for 3 years, and now I'm wondering why not...

In the immortal words of Charlie Brown.... AAARGH!!! I put FMJ on my truck sometime back in June, and it beaded strong for 2 months or more. Then the weekend before last I decided for some reason to throw a quick coat of NXT on to see how it looked. I washed last weekend and it seemed to...

Sometime back in June: #80 Speed Glaze w/orange power pad FMJ by hand Last weekend, on a whim: NXT by hand This weekend: NXT wash, 4 star ultimate gloss enhancer

Oh the humanity! I have a new truck and can't decide what to use on it. I originally thought I'd go back to AIO/SG, after not using them for about 2 years. Then I thought I might use Zaino, but then again I have some 2 oz. samples of FMJ sitting on the shelf. Next I decided that I would use...

I'm trying to buy a new Chevy Silverado, and the dealer has showed my his invoice price sheet. All of the invoice prices match up with Edmunds/KBB, but there are two added costs at the bottom marked "LAM DEALER CONTRIBUTION" "LAM GROUP CONTRIBUTION" The dealer says that these are part of...

Question for Mike et al., I've been using #2 Fine Cut Cleaner for a couple of seasons now, and it is my favorite swirl remover. I know the directions say to use only with a rotary, but I get great results using my PC and a CMA white polishing pad. I never have to follow up with a milder...

I bought a house last fall (and am still remodeling), and plan to build an outdoor detailing station until I can build my "dream detailing garage" in a couple of years. This seems to be a good alternative to building a garage if space or funds are tight, but of course you can't do winter...
