    Opinions On ADS Hero

    Curious about a fairly new rinseless wash which as title says is Hero. Is it significantly better than all the other well known rinseless washes? Because it is priced as a premium product and is almost double the cost of other good rinseless washes. Admittedly I am skeptical of the car care...

    Drying Aids over SIO2 Products

    So if I apply an SIO2 wax or sealant and then during maintenance washes use a drying aid should that drying aid be an SIO2 based product as well. What if anything would happen if the drying aid was not ceramic based?

    UV Protection For Headlights

    So I just used some 1500, then 2500, then Meguiars 105 followed by 205 on my 2013 Tacoma head lights. This is first time they ever had this treatment and although it lives outdoors 24/7/365, they were really only mildly hazy. They cleaned up quite nicely. So I then contemplated treating them...

    Forgive my ignorance but I have a couple questions about Zaino products. 1. Are there any other products that work as Z5 does. By that I am referring to the ability of the product to fill minor swirls and scratches without having to do a traditional polishing with a DA polisher. 2. When using Z5...

    Type Paint For Chip Repair

    Was wondering if there is any reason that one could not use single stage paint on a base/clear paint job that has a few chips in it. I am referring to single stage paint that is same paint code/color as the base clear. If fact would it not be easier to not have to apply two separate products?
