    Best carnuba wax?

    Like a few others have said, if ya use your truck like a truck, I would definitely clay and lay down a good durable sealant before applying any type of wax.

    Palm Polisher

    GG6 has been a great machine for waxing but it can get kind of cumbersome and tough on the old lower back when working down low. It just seems to me that a small light and COMPACT palm machine that could be easily operated with one hand would be awesome for applying wax and sealants. I took a...

    Palm Polisher

    Well, just for the heck of it I picked up a cheap palm polisher at HF today. Gonna convert it to hook & loop and try a Griots red pad. Maybe this weekend I'll try to hit the MKX with a coat of Z2 or DG105. I know my GG6 is a great machine but I just wanna see how this works for wax and sealants.

    Palm Polisher

    That thing looks pretty cool for getting even pressure on a foam pad compared to doing it by hand. I have a GG6 but was just checking to see if there were any decent hand polishers out there I could try. I just think a little orbital would be perfect for applying sealant.

    Palm Polisher

    Can anyone recommend a decent little palm polisher for applying wax and sealants. Would like something small and light with a velcro backer.

    Getting waxes/sealants very thin by hand

    Some products are just easier to apply a thin layer by hand then others. It must have something to do with the lubricity of the product. A good example is how much easier it is to apply a thin layer of Z-2 compared to a product like DG105. The old muscles like an easy to spread product these...

    water less wash products

    Griots Spray on is available at Advance Auto. $14.99 gets you a big 22 oz. bottle and online codes can make it much cheaper. Pretty good product that I've been using for about 3 years.

    Off the shelf wax recommendations

    Duragloss products are available at a few national parts stores. I sometimes grab some Aquawax at Carquest.

    fabric protectant

    I could be wrong but I believe 303 should just be sprayed on and left to dry. Not sure why you are rubbing it in with a Microfiber. Maybe that's why it's not working for you. I just sprayed on a single coat a few years ago and it still beads liquids like crazy.

    How do some of the current sealants compare?

    Durability is also my #1 concern when it comes to a sealant since I live in Michigan. So far, Z2 has proven the most durable in my little world but the only others I have tried is 105/601 and Col 845. Someone on here told me that Klasse High Gloss is the most durable sealant made but I have not...

    fabric protectant

    MPBGT, How long does Fabric Guard last on interior surfaces? My initial application seems to still be going strong after 2 1/2 years. I would think that seating surfaces would eventually need another application.

    fabric protectant

    Here's a good testament to 303 Fabric Guard: Did my front and back cloth seats with 303 about 2 1/2 years ago in a new 2011 Ford Edge. Last week I knocked a 1/4 full X-large Mcdonalds diet Coke out of the cupholder right onto the passenger seat. Apparently the 303 is still working cuz the...

    Zaino products

    I'm also going back to Z-2 after spending this last year with the 105/601 combo. The DG products look great but fall behind in the durability department. Gonna try the Z-2/601 combo next month. I really think Z-2 is an awesome product at an awesome price.

    DA Polisher (Other uses?)

    Can you attach some kind of scrub brush? Can it be used to sand wood or metal?

    Wax over sealant rule?

    If you put wax over a sealant, do you have to completely remove all the wax before you put another coat of sealant on in the future? I'm in the habit of sealing my truck with Z-2 three or four times a year. Wouldn't a wax interfere with a sealants bond to the paint if not removed?

    Wax over sealant rule?

    I never understood putting wax over a very durable sealant like Zaino Z-2 or DG 111. I would think the Aquawax would enhance the look of whatever sealant you are using.

    303 High Tech Fabric Guard

    I applied 303 when I first picked up my 2011 Edge with cloth seats. I noticed that it was still beading melted snow this winter. Pretty good durability!!!!

    2 coats of Duragloss 601/111 mix?

    Can you comment on the application process? Z-2 goes on like butter and is really easy to remove. I find the 601/105 more difficult to apply and remove. I'm guessing Z-2 is easier to work with because of the long drying time required. After comparing the 105 to Z-2, I'm not sure if it's worth...
