the only design i have liked in a while. can't wait to see it in person.

oversized metric socket (got mine at sears). first time off can be tough. actually harder to thread the cover back on blindly....sometimes it is easy and other times it seems impossible. good luck

if you have to use one i suggest ONR http://shop.ultimatereflections.com/product.sc?categoryId=1&productId=4 there is a smaller size available. two buckets, grit guards and multiple mitts. if you need a link to the process, let me know.

i hv been using several of the products for a few months now. i like them and have had no problems with streaking if you apply the sealant (wipe on walk away) every thinly. the trim sealant and interior sealant are also very nice. a little goes a long way. durability of the paint sealant...

i would first go to autopia.org and detailuniversity.com to read up on proper technique. products are only a small fraction of detailing but process is the bulk.

do you hv a pc or rotary to polish? if so, a 4" medium cut pad and polish followed by a fine polish and pad should fix it unless you went through the clear. wet sanding always leaves a very cloudy finish. not sure if you can polish it out by hand because i hv never tried over wet sanding. by...

if you are using a rotary or flex to polish you should give Menzerna a try. even with a pc/udm/cyclo they are definitely a step up in every way from griot's polishes. griot's car wash is nice too. i forgot about that one. griot's is definitely the best at one thing. marketing. great reading.

Strange, I find the interior cleaner the only chemical I like that they offer. The speed shine isn't bad either. My general opinion of Griot's is there are better options and usually cheaper too.

an extra dose of a strong wash like NXT should remove it. if it doesn't try a paint cleaner like AIO to remove the sling. Throw the black magic away...horrible products. duragloss, zaino and poorboys make very nice tire dressings that won't sling and will look much better. poorboys is water...

the touchless uses harsh chemicals that will remove your wax. a hand wash done correctly will clean better and be gentle on your waxed or sealed car.

tattoo work is sort of like hair styles. there are good ones and bad ones. my wife has two and i have a large 1/2 slv finishing on part of my chest. i guess it is really subjective. some people like mullets so some people probably love tribal tats and barbed wire bands. i stick with japanese...

I would try clay magic which you can find at your local autozone for about $10. If that doesn't work (you can always use it on your paint) you will have to try something more abrasive. I hv used this system on scratched windows and it does work on my metabo rotary. If you hv someone local...

I wouldn't put it in the washing machine. I used car wash and a MF mitt on mine. What cleaner made it blotchy? Maybe after it is cleaned some 303 protectant will even out the patches. Good luck with it.

are you polishing by hand or machine? I would try what ever clay you hv or can find locally. You can also try a paint cleaner like klasse AIO. If they don't work there are glass polishes/kits for rotary or even drills that can take out minor scratches. can you feel it or are they water...

You did a great and thorough job with this write up. I hope it helps the community take care of their beloved cars. I can detail an NSX with my eyes closed. You would be amazed at the things you will notice (some not detail related) when you get into a good detailing routine.

if you post on www.autopia.org, you should find a qualified detailer that can help you.

you definitely won't get the durability of a cleen paint covered in zaino but experimenting is part of the fun. i don't really understand the feuding of the two Z camps. I have and use both and they are both great at what they do. durability = Zaino. Car show looks = Zymol. Zaino has made...

It is worth the money if you have a qualified detailer. Like detailed said, check his work in person (black or dark cars). Look at his/her paint correction work in the sun if possible especially if rotary polishing is used. On the other hand if you are looking for a hobby and really want to...

PC, cyclo and UDM are really safe (in that order). There are many How To Guides on detailing forums or hook up with a local detailer. Good luck. You can also practice on old panels or freinds' beaters.

If your paint is in near perfect condition I suggest Glasur or Concours. If not it is best to get your paint corrected first. If you slurge for a wax like Zymol and have paint in need of correction, you will be wasting money. The wax is only the icing on the cake. I bet there are some owners...

I would not use dawn or cotton towels for that matter so there are two things on Sal's instructions I don't agree with. Some car soaps are stronger than others if you want to strip or protect your wax. NXT is a stronger version. A 50/50 water and Isopropyl alcohol solution misted on your...

HD Cleanse is a paint cleaner to be used before Zymol waxes. Refer to this link a let me know if you wax is on the page/ Hand wash, dry, clay if you have it, polish if you have a machine then wax. Polish refers to an abrasive polish to level or diminish paint defects like swirls. EG stands...

You should wash/dry/clay. If you have a machine you should polish until you are happy with your finish. Apply hd cleanse if you have it. Appy Zymol. If it is an EG warm in your hands and apply with your palms one section at a time. If you polish after wax you will remove the wax. Prep is the...

I am using the smaller two sizes. They work well for me on PC and rotary.
