Thanks Mike! The more I'm using Menzerna polishes, the more I love them.

I wouldn't give a bean...

CQuartzUK works great. Rare I have to do more than pressure wash wheels.

I would beg to differ. Most of the silica coatings impart at least some scratch-resistance - particularly the thicker ones like Finest.

As a Minnesotan, I feel your pain on winters. I would definitely advise a coating (silica) over a sealant (synthetic similar to wax). It'll help you avoid a lot of the corrosion we deal with in the northern Midwest. Also not a bad idea to jack the truck up\put it on ramps and blast the...

The tar remover has most likely melted or somehow altered the polymer surface of the mitt.

Looks great - what polish\compound and LSP?

Chemical Guys Extreme EZ-Creme Glaze with Acrylic Shine II is FANTASTIC. I don't use it as often now that I'm using more coatings, but for darker colors it's a great final step.

The fins were a bit of a pain, but nothing terrible. Having an excessive amount of general use microfibers, the wheel woolie, and a metric crapton of Q-Tips helped.

Probably no lift in the near future. Most likely a front\rear stand fairly soon, though. Heavier bikes like this one aren't a problem - the Ninja 650 I did a few weeks ago was a bit sketchier, though.

Get in touch with spoocobra (user here) - he can hook you up. :)

Got my new frosted business cards in from our own spoocobra. I love 'em! They're kinda hard to read when photographed, but in person they're just fine.

Up for this weekend was an awesome 2014 Honda Fury 1300. With a 1312cc V-twin, it's an absolute monster. Even though it's a 2014 the single stage paint already had some damage inflicted - swirls and a few RIDS for the most part. Playlist...

If the spots are etched in or from acid rain, a regular compound typically won't work. I've tried M105 on Meguiar's X-tra Cutting Discs to no avail. Serious glass polishing needs cerium. I just got in some CeriGlass and CarPro pads, anxious to see how it helps clean up the windshield on my...

I was familiar with the brand from their Snowblowers (being a MN native). If you read the reviews at Amazon across their line, they're consistently reviewed very well (4.5 star average with 239 reviews for the 3000). You'll get more power out of a gas washer, but also a small engine to maintain...

The hood looks too long for a Z4...

If I were starting from scratch and had a variety of paints to try to work with, this is probably what I would go with: Polishes\Compounds: Compound: Menzerna Fast Gloss Compound, Fast Gloss 400, FG400 compound Polish: Menzerna Power Finish PO 203, one step polish, swirl remover, finishing...

I like Mr. Pink too, but it does have gloss enhancers. Citrus Wash is about their only high-foaming one that doesn't.

CarPro Reset is good, but I think I'm gonna give Chemical Guys Citrus Wash (not Wash and Gloss) a try next time. Not sure I'm impressed with Reset's dirt removing capabilities. My review of Reset: http://www.autogeekonline.net/forum/product-reviews/84014-review-carpro-reset.html
