For the most part any quick detailer should do the job. The only time one should be used over another is if it's made to work better with the product line. IE Zaino, Blackfire and Pinnacle all have thier own QDs. In these cases it's best to use that one. But if you have some Blitz or some...

The difference between 6.5 and 6 inch pads is so minimal that no additional counter weight is needed. I haven't tried the pads from coastal tools so i don't know how they are... though i can vouch for the meguiars ones. They are a little thicker than other pads and hold their shape. Also...

just for a little proof. Look at the red Camaro SS peaking out of the garage. The owner is a zaino user. I wouldn't be suprised if that car has over 40 coats. Every single picture i see of that car is stunning... simply perfect... and covered by zaino then look at this vette and tvr...

really... there is no one best product. I have way to many waxes/sealents (I couldn't even list them all if i tried) and each one has it's use. It depends on what you want, what you want to put into it, and the car. There are so many factors. Since january i've had about 7 products on my...

The vented plate can be used... but IMO it's not necessary... i've never burnt the paint with mine, and have never heard of someone doing so. I don't see it doing any harm though. As for the website you found the video, i recomend everyone check it out. www.autopia-carport.com. It is by far...

If your looking for a good detailer in the Denver area just let me know. I have VERY good rate's for NSX owners (full detail for $15 for products and what ever you feel like my job was worth). ------------------ NSX lover and Professional Detailer

I agree with Jimbo 100%... it depends fully on weither the swirls are in the clearcoat, or in the zaino. If they are in the zaino then Jimbo's advice is what you should follow, if they were there before you put the zaino on read this http://www.nsxprime.com/ubb/Forum1/HTML/004973.html it...

sorry just saw the last part of that first post... definatly go with the pads over the bonnets. You should at a minium have one soft foam pad (used for layering products.. won't remove what's underkneeth.. what you would use to apply zaino or wax), one polishing pad (used for cleaning products...

There are two major kinds of buffers... the high speed orbital and the random orbital. Unless any of you happen to have a lot of expiernce, stay away from the high speed. Make sure that the buffer you use is a duel action or random orbital buffer. If you use the high speed it is very very...

The backing plate doesn't make much of a difference. Really the plastic ones are made out of a really tough plastic. Even so, the plate is only like a $12 part so if it breaks no biggie (though i have NEVER heard of one breaking). My PC (porter cable) get's used for several hours every week...

For the cleaner: http://www.properautocare.com/pin-250.html and the conditioner: http://www.properautocare.com/pin-340.html If you leather still has a good layer of clearcoat left (you can tell by putting a drop of water on it to see how well it absorbs) try some of this to protect it (also...

Porter cable is the way to go, hands down. It is the most widly used random orbital buffer among the detailing comunity... and there's a reason for it. It's safe, effective and very easy to use. If you want a cheaper price check out...

My guess for those smudges would either be zaino that wasn't fully removed that just got smeared when you were removing (i like to go over the car once with one towel, then again with another to get it all) or the towel your using to remove it could have something on it that is getting put on...

Leaf blower is a nice way.. but not everyone has one handy. The best way to dry a car is actually to use the water... If the car has wax or zaino or some type of product on it, than more than likely it will either bead or sheet water. By using the hose (no spray nozel just the hose itself)...

The 303 isn't for leather surfaces. For that there are 3 products i like to use. If they really have to be restored, leatherique is the way to go. Just check out the pics at http://www.picturetrail.com/gmblack3/707161 of before and after. If you follow the directions you'll get the same...
