ah... white... mine's white too. but for a person who is so into detailing, you ought to get dark colours... cos it'll show and glow with all the detailing.. white doesnt show that much but then again, it shows that the owner can keep the car clean. dont get white rims like i did, i have to clean them everytime i drive it out of my porch.

Karash,

I'd suppose...


hanahawaiian,

dude for water beading, which do you recommend? I find the MG16 okay, it beads well, but tends to leave a non-smooth surface and it doesnt last for more than 3-5 washes?

I took a pic below using DIAX Picaso after several washes, and the outcome is like this:-



still very smooth just like it was freshly baked from the oven.



this is a pic of MG16, after two washes.

For the interior, with no Silicone or oil, I use 303 Aerospace. It's a water based product that dosen't haze plastics, rubber or vinyl....great stuff.

Thank you sir. Would it make your jaw drop to tell you that I just turned 17 as well ? As far as polishes, my go to ones are the Optimum series. They have INCREDIBLE amounts of working time and work both with rotaries and PCs. I just received the hyper compound, which is rotary only, so I don't know great amounts about that one yet, but Optimum Polish and Compound are both AWESOME. My really heavy cut stuff, Menzerna Powergloss, has never failed either.

Zaino Z-8 is used to be sprayed in between coats of Z-2/Z-5 and also as your last step to "seal" the Zaino. It's crazy stuff...I sometimes just use it as my LSP(last step product... i.e. wax) because it lasts 2 weeks just on its own.

In addition to just the supplies, I guess I should post some of my work as well; that'll come with better weather .
