Hey, I think I decided to buy a Escort 8500, not a V1. I have my reasons for the decision, but if it blows then I'll just get my $ back and try the V1. I'm wondering if anyone can recommend any good places to buy an Escort 8500 at? I've noticed that some of the companies that sell radar...

Here's another question, but on the flip side. What do you guys do when it's in the dead of winter, 5-20 degree weather? How do you wax your car? I ask this question especially to all the Zaino users.

Anyone ever heard of Liquid Lustre wax? A friend said he saw a company spokesman use it at a car show. The guy sprayed spray paint on the hood and let it dry, and then applied the wax, waited and then buffed off and the spray paint came off. He then set a part of the hood on fire and once...

I thought I had heard that Valentine 1 was about to release a newer model than the V1. Is that true? I wanted to get a Valentine 1 detector but I don't want to buy an old model and then a month or two from now see that they've released a newer model.

What do all the Zaino users use on their applicators when applying Zaino? Do you guys lightly mist the applicator with Z6 or water? Other than water being obviously cheaper, what advantages or disadvantages are there to using one over the other?

I'm just wondering all the Zaino users take on the old Zaino vs. the new Zaino. If you all wouldn't mind, also list why or why not if the products are better or worse. ~thanks :bounce :bounce :bounce

If you use 3-4 layers Z5 to fill the swirls and leave it like that, will the swirls become more visable faster than if you topped the Z5 with 1-2 layers of Z2? My logic is that the Z2 layor would protect the Z5 fillers. Anyone know?

I finally got me a copy of Guru Reports Wax Test :D. I believe it is kinda old, anyone know when they're going to make an up-to-date one?

It's get so freaking hot in my 3 car garage that I have a window of like 3 hours in the morning to detail the car and that's it. I can't do it at night because I get attacked by flying bugs. I'm just curious, how does everyone deal with detailing the car in the summer?:confused:

Alot of people saw what my swirled paint looked like after the Honda dealership gave me a complimentary swirl job, I mean car wash lol. Well I put 2 coats of Z5 on my car and brought it in full sun. Wow, it looks about 85% better. I brought it under florescent lights, and still about 85%...

Hi, I have tons and tons of regular 100% white Fieldcrest de-seamed towels of various sizes. I"ve only used each a couple of times, and now they feel like they're getting a little harder everytime I wash them. I know Sal says not to use fabric softner, but why couldn't I? What else could I do...

Can I use Z2 on non-clearcoated paint? Some of my interior is spray painted, and I can't clearcoat it due to the type of paint I used. I already have some Z2, and really don't want to buy Z3 for some small little pieces, but I don't know if it'll be ok to use the Z2 on them. I know Sal would...

Hey :wavey, I had read a couple of posts on here saying that there was some new and improved line of Zaino released. Other than the bottle, and color of liquid, what is new about it?

What non-abrasive product could you guys recommend to fill in my swirls, and then what sealant could I use to seal it in and give that famous sterile sealant glow lol. I currently use Zaino, and I don't think I can use it as a topper over a wax or another type of filler. I don't want to top my...

Just for fun, I was wondering what alternative uses people use their waxes/polishes/sealants/QD spray for? Keep it clean lol.

Hey everyone :wavey . I was getting tired of having an aching back after detailing the lower half of my lowered Civic. I was going to buy a rolling detailing chair, but they were too high to use comfortably with a lowered car. So... I made my own detailing chair, and it was really simple...

When I went to the dealership to argue with them to fix the swirls they added when going behind my back and washing it:(, everyone swore that I had a new paint job because my 3 year old honda with lots of Z5 layers outshined the brand new cars I parked beside:D

My car was swirled up pretty bad by the Honda dealership, and they are willing to pay to have it fixed. The guy that I am thinking of going to said he uses a 3m finessit 3 system. He claims it isn't that abrasive, but it rather chemically heats up when used with a high speed dual action rotary...

Hi, my car is currently heavily swirled. I really do not want to have it buffed out and lose a layer of my clearcoat, I'd much rather fill the swirls in and live with it. I currently use Zaino, which everyone knows does not do a good job filling in swirls lol. I reading up on Blackfire and...

I'm so perturbed now. I spend an entire week detailing my car, it was beautiful, I took it to the Honda Dealership in Hagerstown Maryland to have it aligned and I just noticed this morning that the jerk who worked on my car took it upon himself to wipe my whole entire car down with a shop rag...
