Digging throught by basement, I found a box of stuff I haven't used in awhile. Like everyone else, I have been trying out the latest and greatest. I have a black Audi that has seen 1Z Polishes and Glanz Wax, topped with S100. It has seen all sorts of 3M polishes. I have used Poorboys EX...

I am detailing a red single stage Porsche 968 for a guy who doesn't really do wax. I am looking to do a long term plan to keep his paint looking good. I would appreciate feedback on the plan. I am thinking using Glanz Wax, and topping it with Collinite. Perhaps Klasse AIO & SG, topped with...

My neighbor, whose cars I've detailed before asked me if I would be interested in cleaning up his boat. Since I was engineered out of a job last week, I decided to take him up on it. I just got it in my garage and was pleasantly surprised by the outside, just some sun fading and oxidation...

Just did my Audi last night using Menzerna IP & FP, as well as some 1Z MP. Have a couple of questions: 1) I like the Menzerna and was especially happy with the cleanup of my pads, no mess at all. FP worked well but I'm not so sure that I thought it was better than 1Z MP. I used some MP...

My wife and I just pulled the trigger on the new Wagon Queen Family Truckster in Metallic Pee. "You think you hate it now, just wait till you drive it!" Not really, got a new Honda Odyssey Van, in Gold Metallic, and traded in the Black Pearl Acura MDX. My wife wanted Gold because she...

I am doing a couple of cars I KNOW won't get the kind of love and care they need. The one I most worry about is a Guards Red Porsche 968. Single Stage paint. Sun will fade it. I may get the guy to let me redo it every six months, but that would be pushing it. I have had great luck with 1Z...

I just washed my black Audi, in the sun, using QEW and then, before drying, EO Wax as You Dry. Wow! Even using QEW by itself didn't give me these results. No streaks, shiny.....IN THE SUN! I love it.

After a week of nasty weather, my wife surprised me by taking our black Acura MDX through the car wash to save me the effort. We were going out, and she was trying to be helpful. Anyways, car looked bad. I quickly used Poorboys S&W and then looked at all the new micro scratches and decided...

Black Audi A8. Here are the products: 1Z Paint Polish 1Z Glanz Wax

My father in law bought this 96 convertible at the Auburn Auction. Car was scratched and had lot of marring. I used 1Z ultra on the bad spots, PP on the rest, and Ultra on the hood and trunk. I turned the PC up and went at it. I really like the 1Z line.

I am looking at selling my black 97 A8. I just got back from a business trip to Pennsylvania, round trip about 800 miles, including rain and snow. My car looks like crap. Thanksgiving coming up, I'll take a couple days and detail it from top to bottom. Hour or so ago, phone rings, my wife...

I walked past a new black BMW 7 series today sitting in a restaurant parking lot at lunch today. Black, looked shiny, but as I got closer, I saw what looked like a 3-D version of the Statue of Liberty projecting from the hood. Wow, either this guy is super patriotic, or someone messed up his...

I just got a gig detailing some Corvettes for a collector. They will be in a museum setting with the only elements affecting them being museum workers QDing them with terry cloth towels. I will take care of the training and supply them with microfiber to fix, but I wondered what everyone here...

Towards the end of June I detailed a Porsche 968 with a faded Guards Red single stage original paint. I used 3M FCRC and 3M SMR with PC and then hand applied S100 SEC. Topped with a couple of layers of Poorboys EX and then a layer of S100. Car looked great and owner was happy. I just had...

Did a Metallic Silver Lexus SC430. It was in decent shape, detailed 4 months ago by the dealer. Paint was just "OK", had some marring. I decided to use the Einszett Metallic Paint Polish, which is very a light polish. Applied with a PC, wiped off, then followed up with Platinum UPP. Buffed...

I keep getting asked by people if there is really a product that lasts 12 months out there. I tell them, even if the product lasted for 12 months, that doesn't mean your car will look good for 12 months. However, there is a group of people out there that are looking for a product like Ziebart...

Just pulled my black Audi out into the sun after a wash last night. Last week, I set up my Audi A8 as a test bed, applying Poorboy's EX and Meguiar's #26 each to a quarter of my hood prepped with S100 SEC, and on the other side of the hood, Klasse AIO prep, topped with Platinum on one quarter...

Detailed a 95 Red 968. Paint was in terrible shape, the Guards Red looked orange, and a faded orange at that. Used 3m SMR, S100 SEC, and am now waiting for the Poorboy EX to cure. I trashed 1 wool pad, 2 foam cutting pads and 2 polishing pads using the PC to get the shine back.. The paint is...
