    Need Your Detailing Opinions

    Actually he used a rotary via a different Kevin Brown Method. Which worked very well... Please do google Kevin Brown Method. Read, read and read more. After using a rotary for 3 years, I have not picked one up (except to spin dry pads.) All of my corrections over the past year have been...

    A tip for cleaning after driving in the Rain

    Frank is right and he has a lot of knowledge about paint care. As he has so correctly stated, it is not wise to use a QD to clean your car. Waxes and some detail sprays will fill and hide the true condition of your paint. As Frank noted use isopropyl alcohol will give you the true condition...

    Cleaning/polishing 101

    I say give Sal a call and see what he says. I go thru a bottle of Z2pro every 6-9 months with my business and have not had any issues. I do go thru Z5pro at twice to 3x the rate as most of the cars I polish are black and other dark colors.

    Wax comparisons

    Zaino enhancer=ZFX or Z8? ZFX is not made to work with any other product. Especially a wax. Z8 can go over a wax or sealant. If you like Pinnacle Souveran also try Lusso Oro at under $50, looked great on the wifes BMW and lasted a whole 6 weeks just like PS does for me.

    Meguiars M105?

    :2tu: When used properly M105 can be used with a PC to remove some deep defects and it also finishes out very well. You can follow up with M205 or any finishing polish.

    Wax vs glaze? What is better?

    Are you saying that all detail shops do a great job? If so, I can show you a few pics that prove otherwise. Here is an example of what I am working on today:

    How to measure clearcoat thickness on a GTS?

    I have a PosiTector 200 B/Adv as noted they are approx $2600. Unfortionatly they are not as easy to use as my PosiTest DFT ($700) which is for metal. I am pretty sure the PosiTector 200 B/Adv is the least expensive route you can take when it comes to composite, plastic or fiberglass. Also...

    03 Wheel & Caliper Cleaning ?'s

    If your wheels have a clearcoat try the powerball and a plastic polish. According to Forrest from Mothers, the clearcoat on wheels is softer then the clearcoat on your paint. So a plastic polish will work great.

    The Turbo Wax Challenge

    Mr Turbo wax, When I first posted to this thread, I was responding to the fact that applying a product to a car and having it shine is not a very good indication of overall performance of any product. I then was reminded by you that whatever makes people happy is fine. Heck I agree. But...
