Thank you for the reply. I tried a little 3m light oxidation remover with a rag, which I have used in the past, and you could definitely tell the difference. The weird part is even though the boat is extremely glossy looking, if you look at the gelcoat at an angle, you can easily see the...

Thank you for the information. Regarding the 3m Light stuff, what would you recommend as a lubricant for the pad: the 3m stuff tends to dry out quickly. Cheers, Shawn

I have a 2007 Majek Illusion that has been kept in great shape and still has a nice shine to the gelcoat. However, by looking at the area where the "MajekIllusion" sticker used to be, I can easily see the sticker outline and the newer looking gelcoat which means, I could bring out even more...

Mike, thank you for the reply. I just had a chance to try out the Sonax product over the weekend and absolutely love it and here is why. When you spray the Sonax onto your working surface, either horizontal or vertical, the stuff tends to stay put for an extended period of time. For example...

I plan on using the tailgate on my F150 as a test panel to get the process down: it has plenty of 10 year old swirls to practice on:) Much appreciated

My apology for the confusion.. I was referencing my choice to use 100% cotton towels with Z-2 polish vs using a microfiber towel to wipe polish off: I should have typed my comment in a clearer manner. If you are using microfiber towels to wipe your polish/wax of choice from the paint and it is...

Mike, I noticed the Sonax Fallout Remover looks just like the IronX stuff in that it turns a purple color when sprayed on. What is the difference between the Sonax product and the IronX product? Thanks, Shawn

Thank you everyone for the information/advice. It is very hard to change the methods I have used especially every time I look at my 16 year old Camaro and the condition the paint is in. After a good washing and Z-2 application, the paint looks like it was just sprayed on and still wet...

That is exactly why I use 100% cotton towels for removing Zaino:dblthumb2: Microfiber towels have their place and I do utilize them often. However, after using the 100% cotton towels since 2000, I am stuck in my ways:cheers: Thanks, Sawacs

The product I use for wiping polish off recommends I use a 100% cotton towel to buff the product off. However, over the years, my towels have become worn out and I need new towels. What would you guys recommend for a nice white 100% cotton towel with cotton stitches for buffing the product...

That is so true!:xyxthumbs: Cheers!

Debailey, that is exactly what I was looking for: what baby steps, per say, to start off with and work towards a more aggressive approach if needed.. Thank you! Eldorado2k, thank you for tip on using the clay bar before the machine polisher! To everyone else, I do appreciate the advice but I...

Try Sonax even though I have all of the products listed above?

I managed to put some swirly micro scratches in the paint of my black CTS and they are very apparent when the sun hits them at a certain angle. I also have the Porter Cable with a large selection of pads along with polishes. Since I have been a long time Zaino user, I would prefer to try...

Thanks for the information. For polishing the rim, I use Flitz and that stuff works wonders! However, the rotors are a different story since the rust is pretty well caked on. Regarding Noxon, do you think that stuff would work on the rotors and calipers for rust removal?

The rims are chrome plated with rust spots showing through in a few areas where the rims have been scratched over the years of use. There is also rust around the ends of the lug nuts etc.. I was under the impression that rust is rust..;)

A little earlier today I decided to give IronX a try on my rims and rotors. There were some rusty spots around the heads of the lug nuts along with some rust on the rotors etc. After three applications of IronX, I could not tell any difference and yes I did give the IronX time to work and turn...

With regards to dusting from the compounds, I have no idea how much my particular compounds will dust. However, I can tell you which compounds I have:) I purchased the following: Wolfgang WG8900 Total Swirl Kit which came with the Swirl Remover, Finishing Glaze, and the Deep Gloss Paint...

Thanks everyone for the information. With regards to polishing close to the trim, it looks like the best idea is to get close but not right up on the edge. I should be able to hand polish the tight spots along with use plenty of tape to keep the material from getting stuck under the trim...

Update.... I completely lost my mind and went ahead and ordered the Pinnacle Black Label wax.. I have heard it is okay to wax over Zaino Z-2 so I figured why not...
