    Which QD is the most universal?

    I usually like to use the same brand of QD as sealant I have on the paint at some point, but sometimes that's just not economical. For example, right now I'm using WG sealant and WG QD, but I QD so much that I wouldn't want to buy a new WG QD everytime the bottle runs low. What is a good...

    A bit disappointed with NXT Speed Detailer

    I was really excited to try this product as it was one major missing link in the NXT line, but I have not had the best results using it. First of all, the spray nozzle is terrible, and does not allow a small amount to be sprayed out at a time. The main problem I have with it is that it comes...

    What is your go-to car wash?

    Regardless of whether a car has got a sealant or a carnauba on it? I usually try to match car wash with LSP. For instance, NXT wash with NXT wax, Zaino wash with Z2, Sonus wash with the twins, Pinnacle wash with Souveran, Gold Class or P21S wash with #16, et al. However, I just ordered some...

    How does WG compare to Z2Pro?

    Im terms of its overall look. It seems to be geared more towards the darker colors than Z2Pro, but it also doesn't seem to offer the same level of protection that the Z2 does. I am curious to try the product, but am afraid it would "mute" the metallic in my dark blue paint. Opinions? Also...

    Question regarding polishing (when to wipe off)

    I am going to be polishing my GTO during spring break and have a question regarding the polishing process. I have a little 1ZPP that I am going to use up before switching to my PB's SSR's. I will be using it with a white pad via PC. I'm not sure if I'm using the 1ZPP correctly. Do I work...

    LOL, just got my new license plate

    For my 2005 goat... I *just so happened* to get the random license plate reading "WAX 142" handed to me at the motorvehicle office today. I thought that was quite the coincidence.

    Is SG outdated?

    With all the recent talk about other sealants such as Zaino Z2Pro, 4* UPP, Wolfgang, Poorboy's EX-P, etc, it seems that the old tried and true Klasse SG hasn't received much attention. Are people just not using it any longer as they find newer alternatives that are easier to work with, or has...

    How many Zaino users use Z5?

    I am thinking of trying Z2Pro on my dark metallic blue GTO. I will be polishing with PB SSR1, then AIO prior to ZFX/Z2Pro, then going with 5 or so layers of the Z2. I don't guess I see the purpose of Z5 with this combination, other than maybe hiding swirls that might get accumulated in the...

    Deep, wet look on dark blue metallic?

    I'm going to try AIO/NXT first and see if I like the combination. I'm not too worried about durability, as it is my personal car and will be getting plenty of attention. What would be a good sealant to use that will result in a crystal clear, wet, reflective finish? I was thinking...

    QD for use on carnauba?

    I currently have Pinnacle Crystal Mist and love the stuff, but would like to add some others to my collection. What are some QD's that are geared more for use with Souveran, #16, S100, etc?

    LSP on dark blue metallic?

    I have a 2005 GTO on order in Midnight Blue Metallic. I currently have K-Twins, Zaino, Souveran, #16, S100, and NXT. I am considering EX-P as a sealant as well, but I don't have any as of now. I will probably use AIO, then a couple of layers of SG, then either NXT, S100, or Souveran...

    How much protection does AIO offer by itself?

    I currently prep with SSR1, then AIO, then top with NXT and maybe a carnauba if I feel like it. I was just wondering, out of curiosity, how much protection AIO offers as a stand alone product. I know it's cleaning abilities are great for prep work, but how much of an AIO is it really, with...

    Sealant before NXT?

    I really love the way NXT looks, and certainly plan on using it on my red car, as it is so easy to use and I can add more as I please, so durability isn't too much of a concern. I am a little unsure if there is a place or need for a sealant in my current regime with regards to using the NXT...

    What to use to polish billet aluminum?

    Here's my dilemma: I own a Harley-Davidson V-Rod. The wheels are solid discs, and are aluminum. They have very small circular grooves the entire diameter of the wheel that give them a unique look. My bike has only got a hair over 2000 miles on it, and the wheels are already stained, and...

    Any chance of Klasse AIO going away?

    With the new VOC standards and such? This is one product I can't do without. I could live without the SG, but I think AIO is such an integral part in preparation for the LSP. What other products are out there like it? It's so easy to use and very consistent. I really hope this one stays...

    Harley-Davidson fans --->

    Harley just introduced two new bikes. First and foremost, an addition to the VRSC family, called the Street Rod. Basically a canyon carving V-Rod with less rake and mid controls. There's also a new (but not really) Sportster 883R. This model has been seen before, but has just been...

    Advice on pre-NXT/Zaino/Klasse polish?

    I'm looking for a general purpose polish (abrasive, not chemical) to use prior to NXT, Klasse, or Zaino. I am thinking something in the Poorboy's line up, Menzerna, Sonus, or Meguiars, but am open to suggestions. It will be used on my new Dodge Ram that has minor blemishes and swirling, but...

    Getting new red truck. Nervous about using NXT

    I recently ordered a 2005 quad cab Dodge Ram Laramie in Flame Red. It will be my daily driver, but will be garaged at night. On my last red car, I used Zaino and loved the look, but I think for a vehicle of this size, Zaino will be too much work, plus that car was not a daily driver, so...

    When does NXT Speed Detailer come out?

    I am really looking forward to using this product. It will be great for those times when I do not have a coat of #16 over the NXT for touch ups. Anybody know when the release date is?
