    Sealant/AIO before Carnauba

    I'm wondering if anyone has really seen any benefit to using a sealant prior to application of a wax. It's often discussed and advertised as something you'd want to do, but I don't see why. Just wondering if anyone has experience with doing it both ways. Thanks, Billy

    1Z Einszett Industrie-Reiniger Industrial Cleaner W99

    Anyone use this? Like it? I noticed Autogeek has it on sale and diluted 10:1, that's 11 liters for $10. Thinking about trying it to replace Carlack Special Cleaner. Thanks.

    Werkstat Satin Prot vs Tiefenpfleger?

    Anyone tried these two products that can compare them? They look similar, but if one lasts longer or looks different, it would be good to know. Thanks, Billy

    Any good deals on those little yellow sponge applicators?

    These are the type of applicators I'm talking about: They're everywhere, and I figure they can't cost more than a nickel each to make, but I can't find them for a decent discount anywhere (usually ~$1.00-$1.50 each). They're really nice for a lot of things. Anyone seen a good price on...

    Used Werkstat AJT and Prime:Acrylic for the first time today

    I was skeptical that this stuff could really be that great (I like Zaino, and this was said to be as good or better looking). On my '99 red F150, I started out with 3M 06060 (I also tried 06062--no discernible difference to me) on orange pads, then PO106ff on green, finally Ultrafina on black...

    AJ vs AJT

    I have AJT, but haven't tried AJ. Any reason to use both? Does AJT just replace AJ? (AJ=Jeff's Werkstat Acrylic Jett and AJT=""-trigger, the spray version)

    Zaino Water Spots

    Well, I just observed my first problems with the infamous Zaino water spots. I polished my 98 4runner about 3 months ago and it was looking pretty good until recently. Well, the I washed it today and noticed some pretty severe water spotting on the hood and other horizontal surfaces. I know...

    Glaze under Zaino

    Everyone knows Z5 has limited filling abilities. Has anyone had any luck using a glaze followed by Zaino sealants? I'm thinking specifically about DWG or possibly RMG. Maybe the new ZAIO has some filling abilities?

    Z12 glass polish really works!

    Posted in the "Reviews" section, but I thought it would be beneficial to repost here. I'm really impressed! First I should say that polishing glass is never easy. I'd never try to do it all by hand. I use Z12 with a PC and a 4" firm (orange) pad and go back to take care of the edges and...

    Zaino vs. Klasse durability test

    Just wanted to post my results of my own Zaino vs. Klasse face-off. I decided to test these two to determine the most durable sealant (these are the two I see mentioned most for durable sealants). This was done on my red 99 F150. I first polished the whole truck using Klasse AIO (Zaino...

    Best spray detailers for Klasse?

    Hello, I use Klasse AIO with HGSG and was wondering what spray detailers people have ahd luck with. I have already used Menzerna HGAS, which complements the HGSG well. I'm also wondering how Sonus Acrylic Glanz or Zaino Z8 work. There are others out there too... Please post your results...

    What to use for unpainted black plastic trim

    I have tried many products for black trim and nothing I have used makes it through even a light rain. Everything either has visible streaks on the trim or gives an oily film on the paint. Things like Z16, Stoner Trim Shine, etc, all do this. Is there anything that works and hols up to a...

    What are your favorite home-brew mixes?

    I know a lot of people mix or dilute products, and I thought we could start a thread on what people are using and why. I'll start: 1:10 KAIO/distilled water. This is a decent paint cleaner for use when the car may be slightly dusty at worst. Not much lubrication, but works well on water...

    Why I don't like Zaino

    I thought the title would get some attention, but I really do have a Zaino pro question. I have used Zaino in the past (original, but with ZFX), and one thing I really hated about it was you only had to use maybe 1/4 oz to do a whole car, but it wasn't practical to mix less than 1/2 to a full...
