    reflections, is this real?

    The CRV was only a few months and I don't think I had touched it yet with the pc. I shot a reflection in the passenger door and thought it looked ok. Several months later I noticed swirl type reflections when looking at it in bright sun. I worked the door over with a Sonus green pad and...

    Eagle One Wheel Acid

    I don't mean to double post except these comments were slightly OT in the tread it was in. Anyway, is Eagle One Wheel acid, cut 50/50 with water, safe to use on clearcoated wheels. Eagle One suggests it is not safe. I think maybe the dilution and the short time application of 10 seconds...

    Acura 2003 TSX

    Wife's girlfriend came to our house yesterday. Her TSX had white waterspots all over it and some crap stuck to it in a few places. The car is always pretty well kept. She left the keys so I cleaned up the crap with some tarminator and a lint free cotton towel. I washed it with Megs gold...

    Zaino Z2 pro 2 oz bottle cleanup

    First thing I noticed with the z2 pro was how easy it came off the paint surface. Second was how hard it was to clean the 2 oz bottles, I don't want to waste them. Ended up with Paint thinner and stuffed in paper towels also tougher to get off your hands when fingering the bottle.

    Zaino Z2 Pro

    Picked up a bottle of Z2 pro today in Howell at Shore Motorsports and I was surprised to see the recommendation about using ZFX accelerator with it. "For optimum performance use in conjunction with ZFX accelerator additive". I have some on the shelf but I thought I read, on this board, that it...

    ScratchX and holograms

    I've been cleaning up my 2004 CRV, it's never been touched by a carwash or a rotary polish machine and always washed very carefully. It had 2 coats of Zaino on it from last fall. Anyway I've notice holograms or swirls on almost all the panels. I had some Megs scratchX on the shelf and gave it a...

    Peanut butter and stained trim

    I've tried APC's, tooth brush scrubbing and wax blaster and I find that peanut butter still works better than all of them but is messy. I figure it must be the oil in the PB that does the trick. Has anyone tried anything else from the kitchen for stained trim? I was thinking of EVOO (extra...

    Mixing carwash soaps

    Someone on this site said that the "Mister Clean" soap should be thrown out, well I'm not sure that is true but don't mix it with Megs gold class. It turned into a sticky mess that even stuck to the inside of my foam sprayer bottle. It left crap all over the car that I ended up taking off with...

    Zaino Z2 over Z6?

    I've been using the Z6 gloss enhancer over my original Zaino Z2 application ( last June) now I want to reapply Z2, it has lost some of the slick feeling. Can I go over the top of the Z6? or do I have to strip it back, I don't have a defects to fix.
