    Zaino Approved Waynestowels ?

    Sal Z. has resisted for many years the use of MF with his Zaino system. He has always recommended Cannon/Fieldcrest 100% USA Cotton. Fieldcrest went bankrupt last year. Waynestowels web site says that his towels are Zaino approved. Funny, but Zaino's web site makes no mention of them. Why...

    Sealant Over Carnauba...Will It Work?

    Anyone try this with good results? I have a few final polishes that are carnauba based (1Z MP, 3M Show Car Glaze) and a few that are loaded with oils (GEPC, IHG, #9, Hand Polish #81). I'd like to use them up. Besides 1Z Glanz Wax, do ploymer/acrylic sealants adhere to oils and carnauba?

    1Z Raindance Lackfinish ????'s

    A couple of questions on this product: 1. availibility in USA, size, price and who will carry it? 2. will it be compatible with other sealants e.x. Zaino, Klaase, Wolfgang, Full Molecular Jacket, NXT or only Glanz Wax? 3. will it be compatible with carnauba finishes e.x. P21S, Blitz...

    The Look Of Sealants...any diffs?

    Assume for now you have well-prepped the paint surface. Throw out for now the variables of price, avail, durability, ease of use, dusting issues. Is there much difference in the final look, shine, slickness, gloss, depth, reflections of these popular sealants: Wolfgang Deep Gloss...

    CD Test and MF Towels...WHY?

    Can someone offer some info as to why some/most MF towels scratch a CD and a few/handful do not scratch a CD? I CD test by rinsing the CD with water, blot dry it, spray Meguiar's FI and rub 25 times with a MF. In my tests, most CD's get scratched or micro-marred. But, some MF do not inflict...

    2005 Corvette

    I'm a Porsche 911 owner but I like the new Vette. Fox News just 20 minutes ago showed a different 15 sec GM ad with just the Corvette and it had much better views of the new car. The hood to me looked similiar to the new Viper. Color of the car was bright red. Better yet for all to see...

    Guru Glass Cleaner # 1 Not A Good Performer...

    according to my tests. Bought 2 of them. Gave one to my cousin to try. Showed her the tests results. Kept one for myself. Used it initially with bounty towels on my bathroom mirror and got lots of hazing and streaking. Cleaned it a 2nd time. Not much better. Used #2 rated cleaner and had a...

    Anyone Use The Menzerna Sealant Wax?

    Received my sample bottles this afternoon. There are no instructions. Questions for those that have used it: Light coats only, do you let it dry, 1 panel at a time? I guess I could practice but are there any user experiences with this wax?

    Menzerna Wax

    Just got off the phone with Jeff at Menzerna USA. I will be receiving a sample of their wax on MON or TUE. It is carnauba based with some good silicone in it but no polymers (I believe no polymers). Jeff wants my feedback as to how it compares with other carnauba waxes that I have used recently...

    Glass Guru Test

    ...will soon name the #1 glass cleaner in a day or 2. I haven't seen the test yet but have ordered it. My personal favorite after 20 years is 1 wet lint-free MF towel and 1 dry MF towel. It beats all chemical cleaners that I have used over the years. We shall see.
