Do you use the Mcguires Quick Detailer?...if so do you find it hard to buff out?...I use it on my black S2 and with as much elbow grease as it takes to polish out I think it's less work to go ahead and just wax the damm car,even if I do very small sections at a time,it's a bitch....your thoughts.

I use the quick detailer, and find it very easy to do - can do the whole car in a matter of minutes - no real buffing needed...

Quick detailer for me is very quick, maybe your using way too much, a little bit goes a long way..good luck.

Homer- I am using Z-12 quite often(after every wash), the zaino website says their should not be any harm using Z-12 on your windows. Am i doing something wrong

Homer2

Z12 - is the glass polish. its prime intent is to reduce hazing, minor scratching etc, acid rain etching . .etc

i dont imagine there is anything wrong with doing it each time you wash- but i cant see the need really.

i suppose it will help you keep up on the environmental etching from acid rain - wiper swipe etc. . .

as a note - i do my windows 2-3 times a year - . and i dis-like the powdery residue left behind by this particular product =- but have to live with it to get the results i suppose.

are you doing it by hand - or with a polisher ?

I do it by hand homer(i use one of zaino's cotton applicators). To remove it i use a 100% cotton t-shirt(seems to come off a little easier than with a towel). I also get the powdery residue left behind when i use this product + i find Z-12 to be zaino's biggest pain in the ass product(very difficult to apply and remove), even Z-14 is easier to work with than the glass cleaner. The only thing that keeps me using Z-12 is the results, glass looks great, no other product i've used for glass has been able to give me these perfect results.

by hand?

you must have the biceps and forearms of a weightlifter

i use a randonm orbital (the only zaino product i would ever do that with) and find myself winded - hehehe

ok, im not in great shape - but i do like the results - and am glad you do as well. you are the first person i've run across who does it that regularly (man i wish you were my customer)

do you deal with a local dist - or the factory itself?

i deal with Carl Voellm(Zaino distributor), he sold his red C5 convertible and moved up to the electric blue Z06, havn't seen the Z06 yet(gonna get up there soon running out of Z-7, Z-9 & Z-10). He's a really helpful guy & knows very much about detailing(lots of great tips). Last time i was there he had 50+ coats on his C5, thats all it took for me to become a zaino user for life, nothing else compares. Now if zaino would only make a product for convertible tops that would just top it all off.

Yea - Carl is very knowledgeable guy.

He was involved in a huge detailing chain for a some years - and has a wide span of knowledge in the car detailing world . . .

I assumed you were dealing with him . . . just dont like putting a name out there, in case Im naming the wrong guy
