    tips to shine and clean black???

    Well I sure hope no one gets offended....if anyone does I must of described them somewhere along the lines eh? As for what I recommend, take a look at this Porsche hood. It has what is called "halo-scratches" (many refer to these as "swirls" but swirls are a different animal) or what...

    tips to shine and clean black???

    I really mean no offense here at all......but I see so many people on these forums falling for every hook line and sinker, for every urban myth out there regarding waxes and detailing that it is down right sad. First Zaino is a sealant AND a glazing system in that it covers paint...

    Need Help Detailers

    You don't need a compound nor should you apply any wax with a wool pad. You should never have the need, if and when you use a rotary, to go over 1700 rpm's and always try and stay under 112 degress in the heat area. Todays base coat/clear coat paints respond very well to a mild polishing pad...

    If you are looking to make a profit then dont spend that money on "boutique" car products. That's just a plain waste of your money. A professional product line that I use alot is Hi-Temp, Valu-Gard and Optimum. Hi-Temp has pretty much all the cleaners, polishes, waxes and dressings you...

    wet sanding question

    Hardman, I agree with you to a point. A pro should of handled this. Clay though will NOT remove the imbedded particles. The metals will "bloom" rust again even if clayed (this though depends largely on the degree of contamination) as the clay will only remove the protruding particles...

    Best Carnauba Wax?

    They do contain solvents. If not how would they soften the carbauba wax which is as hard as a rock in its natural form? Liquid waxes contain more solvent level than do pastes but they all have solvents. Anthony

    wet sanding question

    Wetsanding?? No way should they be wetsanding a OEM paint job! Sure it can be done but the factory clear is so thin that they may have just shortened the life of your paint. If they remove to much from the top coat then they mess around with the UV absorbers which in turn leads to premature...

    Faded paint help

    Not too familiar with Mustangs but is the car single stage paint or clear coat? If it is clear coat then "faded" (oxidized) paint is most likely not your problem, single stage paint might be faded. The problem with most bras is that they trap moisture between the bra material and paint, if it...

    Best Carnauba Wax?

    All waxes contain solvents so layering will not even create a deeper shine as the next layer will be detrimental to the first layer. Any wax left over to haze is wasted wax and the only thing two layers of wax is good for is to make sure you have complete coverage, nothing else. Now...

    Best wax?

    What wax to use is not as important as what method you used to prep the paint. Proper paint prep is where the key is at. Once you have leveled the paint (corrected paint swirls, scratches, etc.) then you can put any wax on the paint and it will be a winner. Even using Zaino on a...

    Faded black beltline trim, any ideas?

    A dressing is simply that, a temporary dressing. What you need to do is properly clean the trim area then dye it. Here is a product I use. http://www.topoftheline.com/trim-molding-dye.html Anthony
