If I say that my Klasse'd car looks like a deep dark pool of shimmering black water and people stay away from it from fear of drowning in it, does that make me a Klasse zealot? Do I need to get over myself?
Yes you must work for Klasse. <blockquote class='ipsBlockquote' >

<strong class='bbc'>I think the forum has been going great with the exception of people always complain like what is stated above. There never seems to be a problem till one person complains.....
Anyhow, you don't have to wait 30 days to apply more zaino. I would wait about 1-2 weeks MAX, and zaino away. Zaino is not wax, and todays paints are catalyzed and cure in a few days time MAX. [/b]</blockquote>
DK I need to ask this question: What happens if he puts on Zaino per your instructions and his paint is ruined? Are you going to repair the damage?
When I first came to this forum, I indeed was very much wanting to do a better job cleaning and detailing my car and truck. I will go as far as saying I had some real schooling to put myself through in regards to technique. I also found a world of new products for protecting the finish of cars. I was amazed. However in the weeks since getting my new car, it amazes me how people seem to be so hard core about Zaino or 3M or Klasse. These products are all great, but please don't go telling someone they can do something that you yourself are not willing to fix, or pay for should damage happen. I log on and read threads on this forum and find myself disheartened by some of the attitudes I read. It's made me get to the point of not caring about being popular or liked on this forum.
DetailKing you yourself turned me onto Zaino, but turn it down a bit, at times you come across vary cavalier. Maybe you have a connection with Sal Zaino, most of us on this forum don't and for that matter I could care less about Sal Zaino. His products are just one product line in a long line of high quality car finish products.
I'll close with this: I'm grateful that you pointed me to Zaino, but it stops there.

Hmm maybe DK is Sal....... He certainly knew a lot about the corvette post the other night. And always has the latest news about the new products and release times. And he is from NJ like Sal. Makes you wonder doesn't it.

We are now violating our unwritten "no personalization" rule. (Koyaanisqatsi -- my comment is not directed to you, I think your post, above, is humor).
Personalization is how flame wars start.
Personalization has to do with directing comments toward the individual (the "person"), his character, morals, values, etc. rather than about an objective topic. Example:
Joe: I think two coats of Klasse SG are enough
Frank: I have found that a third coat makes a difference.
Joe (not personalizing): Interesting observation. I did not see the same result.
Joe (if he personalized): Frank, you obviously are self-deluded and are seeing what you want to see. Do you have an ownership interest in Klasse?
Joe's first response is respectful, without requiring, however, for Joe to be submissive or abandon his own experience. Joe's second response is <em class='bbc'>guaranteed[/i] to start a flame war. Frank will now feel compelled to respond. And, he will probably respond with personal remarks of his own. And, they will probably not be complementary. So a dwindling spiral downward starts, from one remark. The result -- what lies at the bottom of that downward spiral -- is a forum that is just flames.
Sometimes, to avoid personalizing requires that we hold back emotions we are feeling. Hey, if we acted on every emotion we have, we would be in jail! For the good of the forum, sometimes we just have to keep our personal remarks about another member to ourselves.
We have a great forum because we have great people. Respect for one another, not personal remarks, will keep it that way.
Thanks for listening.
Now, please let me get back to talking about the results of my "let the new coat dry for two days" detailing fanatic experiment

Can't we all just get along?
-R.King 1992
It has been mentioned, even by a moderator on this board, that the love for Zaino by some Zaino users has become almost pushy. Even if they do not mean to be pushy, or just love the products they use, sometimes it comes off wrong when typed. Zaino may be the hands down greatest car protectant ever made on the planet earth and surrounding universes, but some people just do not like the Zaino shine. If someone likes wax let them use wax. Don't tell them they are wasting their time and to buy Zaino. It takes minutes to apply, but according to directions, can take hours to cure in certain weather conditions. Some people just don't have that option with one car. I also can't imagine this forum being happy and free of anger all the time. It would be so lame in here without the occassional disagreement. If everyone agreed Zaino or Klasse was the end all to all products what would be the point of this forum?

I'll second that. To each their own! I really haven't seen that much pushing for particular products. Some people are just really impressed by the results they got from a particular product and thus are enthusiastic to share this pleasure with others.
Is this really so bad?

2009 Cadillac CTS
I got a phone call from this client about a week and a half ago. He was interested in getting a full correction done to the car since a friend of his messed up the finish on the hood and a rear pillar with a high speed buffer trying to remove a bird dropping. Besides that the paint was full of swirls and the front of the car had some bugs on it but it didn?t look to bad till I started to buff it. The paint was pretty dull for a 2009, but Sully?s Detailing was able to take car of that
