My buddy has his 930 over visiting mine and I'm doing a detail on it. This was the first opportunity for me to try the Makita BO 6040 and System One polish. Both worked great and removed most all the defects on his hood. Original 19 year old paint. Finished up with DWG, 845 and Hot Rod QD. I...

Thanks to this board I always seem to learn something. I had been using 845 and then 425 for QD work on my garage queen. I was happy and spent some time on other interests. A couple of weeks back I figured I'd check in and see what was new. I was looking for a bit more wetness. After some...

I've search a bit and can't seem to find anything on this. I must be missing something. I have a new to me 930S in excellent condition with only some very minor scuff marks in a few places on the leather. I don't need to do a major overhaul with the Leatherique or ColorPlus methods just...

I have an odd one that I was wondering if someone could help me figure out. I'm trying to understand the chemistry behind this in laymans terms if thats possible. I have a SS black finish on my Police Interceptor. It's an inexpensive repaint but it looks real nice. The repaint's about 5...

I just got my Simple Green foam gun today (10 minutes after I finished washing the car). So I started thinking about a process that would work for me in light of all I've read here. The car in question is my black, daily driver, police interceptor. Finished with Zaino layered with Z-3 and...

Okay looking for any and all opinions on how to proceed. I've dabbled a bit with the PC and had some good results with MIP and FPII and Zaino on my cars but I keep coming back to the wife's 993 uncertain as to what to do. Some background: We picked this car up a year ago. It was a steal and...

Okay, I have finally completed the "restoration" of the '99 Crown Victoria Police Interceptor I'll be using as a daily driver. The car was repainted about two months ago with a single stage black by the seller. He did a quick job of prepping it for me but after a fun week of deep cleaning the...

Okay need help from the gurus on this. I've been using Zaino for a while and have been hooked on the stuff for it's look and durability but now I've run into a problem. I have a new to me vehicle with a relatively fresh single stage black re-paint maybe 60-90 days old. The seller did a rush...

Hi guys, New to the forum but have been detailing cars ever since I got my first one back in 1973. I'm into Porsches and from the late 90's 'till a couple of years ago I was away from my obsession while raising a family. Finally, the wife relinquished and we now have 2 for me to work on...

Have a question for the paint experts. My wife has a '96 911 in single stage Guards Red. We picked up the car last year. It's been a Florida based car for the last few years. The car spent much of the year before we purchased it sitting outside in the sun in the PO's driveway. When we got...

New to the forum, first post. Lurking a few weeks. Finally a sight that feeds my addiction for being anal with my cars. First question, Not sure if anyone has had experience with this but I have an '84 911 that I picked up last year. One of the many detailing challenges was that the rubber...
