More than just being pitted, scratched, and starting to fade yellow...but it's those thousands of little 'worm-like' scratches/fissures. They're not deep enough to where I can feel them with my fingernail. Could've been there when I bought the car used but noticing it even more now since it's...

I've read the threads of different ways to prime your foam pad to achieve a longer working time and less dust. 1 combo that I didn't see mentioned that I'd like to get your feedback on is: - LC Flat Orange sprayed with Pinnacle XMT Pad Conditioner, then primed with M105, then 2 pea sized drops...

Let me begin by saying that as an enthusiast, this is strictly a "side-thing" for me. This is in no way my primary source of income, and I'm thankful for a great full-time career. I've been detailing our personal cars for a long time and never thought of putting up a site, so I don't have any...

I got out the shower this morning and started thinking of how our bodies are like our cars. So...I figured I'd try something different to get all of our creative juices going. The point of this thread is to: Take a look a random toiletry items or things you use to take care of yourself and list...

I currently have M105/M205 and use a PC7424 to do my paint correction. I'm looking into replacing the M105 with the newer M101 since it has less dusting and is formulated for foam pads. I heard that any SMAT or nano-abrassive formulated polish will cut differently based on the pads that are...

So I've been doing a bunch of research on these threads about various coatings and polymer-based sealants. I ultimately would like to try Opti-Coat 2.0, but is too pricey for me at the moment (maybe in the near future). And I was going to try the Zaino Z2-Pro system with Zaino Z-8. But got...

I tried doing a search but couldn't find anything. Can someone please re-clarify if there are any differences between P21S Paintwork Cleanser and an ZAIO? When would I use one instead of the other? I have Meg105/205 for correction and am looking at Zaino Z2/Z8 for LSP. I've been told that...

I have 1 LC CCS Orange that came with my PC kit and am looking for alternate pads for my Meg105. So I have several cars that have a lot of swirling and marring. Anyone have any experience using both the Hydro-Techs and the Surbuf pads? What are you thoughts betweem the 2, pros and cons? thanks...

So I've learned a lot on this forum as well as on autopia.org. I used to detail cars a lot by hand, but have never done a real paint correction job. So my wife bought me a PC7424 and Meg 105/205 for Christmas, and I had a chance to try it out on my 2001 Volvo S60. I didn't do a full detail and...

I'm growing very interested in Opti-Seal especially because of its WOWA aspect. I read on detailingworld.com that a lot of people would use 2-3 layers of wax (i.e. P21S 100%) and top is with 2-3 layers of Opti-Seal. They claimed that the finish is very similar to Z2-Pro but has similar...

So my wife is getting an 2010 Audi Q7 in Ice Silver. I'm in the process of getting Z2 Pro/Z8 as my LSP. Is there any sealant, wax, or a combo of both that will actually give the Ice Silver paint maybe a darker hue or darker tint? I know it won't be a significant difference, but maybe...

After my paint correction with Meg 105/205, I was going to use Zaino AIO followed by Z2 Pro and Z8. If I use Menzerna 85RD as a finishing polish, do I still need to use ZAIO as a base for Z2? Or will the 85RD finish well enough to be LSP ready? Thanks in advanced.
