    More pics of my Zaino detail + Thoughts on product line

    Interior Process: Vacuum z9 z10 Thoughts on products I find z9 and z10 to be great for personal use. I'm an addict to the smell - both how my leather smells after z9, and the enhanced smell after z10. I find both products to work easily and effectively on my vehicle. However, I've...

    How much would you charge for this RAT infested detail?

    Hey guys, got a call regarding this older Porsche. Its been sitting around for years, and even had a rats nest inside. Thats been removed, but the car still looks like crap. Here are my concerns: 1) Is it single stage paint? The car is a Porsche 928 from the early 80's 2) Rust - as you can...

    Life after Z8

    Hey guys curious what can be applied AFTER the car has Z8 on there. Can I re-layer Z5 or CS over the Z8? Or does Sal really just expect me to only wash my car for the next 6 months!? :scared:

    What happens when a wax last longer then the glaze underneath?

    Hey guys, I've been considering glazes recently and wanted to know what would happen in a combo such as this: Product X or Megs 80 followed by Collonite Liquid Wax? I'm assuming the liquid wax will last longer then either glaze. So will the wax just disintegrate away as the glaze's...

    Strongest car wash concentrate?

    hey guys, I typically get a lot of college students for clients. Their cars haven't seen a car wash for months, so they have a level of film and grime on them. To speed up the process, I've considered pre-treating the vehicles with Simple Green MAX on the really nasty parts, prior to a wash...

    OS or CS for this purpose...

    Hey guys, I don't want this thread to turn into anything heated, but I am curious about the attributes of both products with regards to customers FIRST impressions. CS, which I already own, is a spectacular product no doubt. But it offers more of a gloss and from what I hear the real improvment...

    Uniform beading = durability?

    Hey guys, I keep getting the feeling that I'm missing out on something. From what I can tell, many judge durability based on uniform beading. I'm reading that JetSeal has sheeting rather then beading, and CS isn't leaving uniform beading for another guy - and these are being correlated to...

    BMW - New cars, and possibly new problems?

    So, the new cross over SUV/Coupe from BMW finally came out - the X6. Pretty much made to compete with the Audi A7, as the BMW CS has been made to compete with the Audi A5 and Benz CLS. In any case, I found the vehicle to be, well, predictable. Just a swooped down roof on a X5. Now heres the...

    UPGP vs... it comes down to durability

    I currently have more layers of zaino on my vehicle then anyone would ever need. But I love the stuff... looks great and is easy to use. However, I only found the Zaino look FULLY acceptable (ie: similar to a wax) once I added the z8. Only catch is, for and OCD person such as myself, I have to...

    Mixing a chemical cleanser with a mild polish?

    Hey guys, I'm looking for something stronger then a chemical cleanser (kAIO) but doesn't need multiple runs to fully break down. I guess Prime Strong is an option, though I doubt its as strong as I'd like. At times I find myself resorting to orange pads as opposed to white to achieve this...

    Body shop estimated this damage at over $800... am I getting ripped off? (photos)

    Hey guys, as I mentioned before I rear ended someone and caused some damage. Body shop is suggesting that it'll cost over $800 to fix this. I'm curious what your estimates are? As one addition bit of information, after I hit her she mentioned that the scrape towards the center wasn't my...

    I rear ended someone, nothing major but I need a fair body shop in SoCal...

    Hey guys, had my first accident and rear ended someone. There wasn't any damage to my vehicle, but her rear bumper has a dent and the paint is scraped off. Does anyone know a body shop I can take her car to and get it taken care of for a good price? I really appreciate it, Daniel

    Cheap lighting or anything that will reveal swirls?

    Even in full sun its difficult to see swirls and such on my gray vehicle (mixed blessing eh?) But from time to time I'll park under SUPER BRIGHT city halogens and see medium marring (probably a mixture of lazy washing ((I became lazy just prior to seeing the mars... I'm now back to my OCD wash))...

    Most efficient way to apply spray sealants?

    Hey guys, curious what your take is on this topic. I've applied Z8 with microfiber but I feel A LOT of it just gets saturated up in the MF and doesn't get on the vehicle. Anyone had success using foam or anything else of the sort?
