That is strange. It's almost like a splatter of some sort that stained the paint over time. I like the high-speed drill idea with a cleaner wax or a fine compound so the surface doesn't scratch. (Obviously you know that!) Be sure to post results!

Zaino is a great product line. I use their products for everything but heavy swirl removal. Z2 and Z5 (for dark colored paint) are super easy to apply and last for as long as they say. ZFX is a great additive that makes them both better. Z-CS makes them last for 9 months and even longer if...

I use the entire Zaino line and have been using it for years on my cars and my customers cars. I use Z5 and Z2 for hand waxing exclusively. I use Z-PC with a buffer for swirl removal in some cases, but their line isn't really focused on that. Z7 is a great shampoo that creates plenty of suds...

Hello everyone, I have a Dodge Sprinter with a ton of plastic trim that needs a good restoration. The grey trim is faded/ discolored for the most part. I've used 303 for short term purposes to make it look acceptable but I am now looking to make it last. My plan is to clean (obviously)...

Most waxes work better on a totally clean, wax free surface. I use the Zaino system on all my non paint correction jobs, which is wash with dawn dish soap, clay, then wash with their car wash solution. Even if I'm not using that system, I always start with fish soap or a heavy soap like a...

I do the following and have had plenty of positive results. 1. spray a little water on the engine, 2. Mist amazing roll-off on the engine. 3 any tough grease spots get treated with Gunk engine degreaser. It's a citrus engine spray but any solid APC will work! 4. Let the roll-off sit for a few...

Like the ideas. These independent luxury dealers need good detailers more so than other dealers because many buyers appreciate that show car finish and thorough cleaning provided by a solid detailer. I just recently detailed a Lexus GS350. The owner was very friendly with a guy who owns an...

Where in SJ? I'm in the Cherry Hill area. Where are you located? Do you own a shop? Thanks for the welcome!

Thanks!

Hey Kim, I'm from the Cherry Hill area, right across the bridge from Philadelphia. My family has a house in Ocean City so I constantly drive through the Pine barrens and on the Parkway! Maybe I'll see you there! Thanks for the welcome.

Thanks a lot Mike! I enjoy your videos and seeing the work you do. Hope to come to one of your sessions in Florida soon!

Hello fellow Geeks! I am Michael from New Jersey. I've come to use this forum a lot in the past few months so i figured i'd introduce myself and get into some conversations! I started detailing when I got my first car when I was 15, 5 years ago now. I used to stay up late cleaning the door...
