Dwayne, it was a dealer licensed by 3M who gave me a written sheet with instructions for care of 3M clear bra. Product formulation is of interest to me, so if you have comparable products which list formulations, I'm interested. Regards Richard

Nappers, Thank you for your welcome. SEATAC is about 25 minutes SW of us from where we are in Redmond. Seattle has two seasons, blue sky sunshine and rain. From May until mid October there was only one day of rain. From first week in November to our current day we have had rain each day. Usually...

Superdutytd, Geee thank you for your advice on multiquote messaging. I am interested in products which are compatible with 3M products. Also much appreciated your offer to help with detailing issues. Mine are mainly engine bay issues, over course of months or a few years engine bays drive me...

Killrwheels, well I had no idea about promotion of AG products only. I apologize if my mention of Griot’s Garage, or Zaino offended anyone. I receive no promotional fee for use of these products nor do I have any affiliation with these products. Zaino was recommended by 3M in support of my 3M...

Alex Pallagi, welcome to Forum, I was born and raised in Northern Illinois, our family would o up to Northern Wisconsin during summer on vacation. I have been to Rhinelander, which is beautiful. Your Oneida County is spectacular. Rhinelander was originally called Pelican Rapids by early settlers...

RTexasF, thank you for your comments: There are comments by others referencing Zaino, and I have previously used Griot’s Garage products, which are good products. Under fair trade agreements, there is nothing preventing this forum or others from offering other products in this commercial...

mchess1, thank you for your insightful comments with underlying analysis of BMW marketing strategy of ‘not own unless under warranty’. That may not be an explicit strategy, but certainly appears to work as that. I also understand the mentality of leasing for 48 months targeted to a certain...

mchess1, my decision to rid myself of a mint 2002 BMW, was based on having spent over $6,000 on various repairs in 2009 to keep it mint. Basic engineering and manufacturing stuff should have been taken care of long before I purchased that car new. There are issues with subframe welds failing...

Zaino Brothers In August 09, I traded in my 2002 BMW 330i on a 09 Honda Accord Coupe I4 Nav and had a 3M clearbra installed by Accutint (3M installer Bellevue, WA) which recommended I use Zaino products which are compatible with my 3M 5 mil product. A week later I received a Zaino kit which...

There are a lot of misconceptions on car care products, often cost becomes determinate, rather than quality of finish. Auto Geek going TV on Speed would help demystify and debunk car care products. Most importantly Auto Geek could do a lot to demonstrate correct way to wash a vehicle verses...

dublifecrisis, Thank you for your welcome. I lived in South Florida for 15 years before moving up here to Seattle in ’07. Bellingham (Whatcom County Washington) is not far from where we live in Redmond, perhaps an hour and a half or so north, just south of Canadian border (52 miles south of...

vwgtivw, thank you for your welcome. I see you are in Cleveland Ohio. At one time I was employed by a company headquartered in Cleveland (now out of business). I have wanted to get back to Cleveland to visit Rock and Roll museum. Regards Richard

Sparkie, thank you for your welcome, you must be a professional detailer. I moved from SE USA up to Seattle area in ’07. There are times I miss that Atlantic Ocean with its Hurricane warnings and Caribbean storms. I don’t miss aftermath of those storms. Regards Richard

Bunky, Thank you for your welcome. I use Zaino Brothers products on my current car (09 Honda Accord Coupe). On my former car (2002 BMW 330i traded in for Accord), I used Griot’s Garage products, which kept it in mint condition. I have kept all my former and current car(s) clean, including engine...
