My Detailing Articles

[SlipStreamZ28]

being both a detailer and the owner of a black car... i know what you mean. the only way ive been able to keep my car swirl free is to polish it annually with a waffle pad on my rotary buffer. Black is almost impossible to maintain, even when the car has multi-layers of wax on it 24-7.

Hey I was just looking at your avatar and it looks like the SS scoop is done in red or something but the way the light is hitting it it almost looks like the car is done in a black cherry pearl mica, which would look sweet or maybe having flames done in that color. Just an idea that popped into my head

the SS scoop is done in red, check out my garage On the rest of the car... the effect is probably a combo of the sunset and my photoshop tweaking.

I did not find any references to Zaino, including "shop by brand".

I find it difficult to take seriously without that.
Yes, I have detailed cars since the 80's. Started in SoCal.

Not every detail shop carries Zaino. Does Zaino even allow anyone to sell their products? I've never seen Zaino on other sites at all, not even Autopia-CarCare.com. Does that mean you won't take any other detail supply company seriously because Zaino won't market their products to other stores?

Zaino isn't even that good, anyway.

Yep the car is in my sig, there are a couple of spots that have swirls.Plus I'm thinking for the future...gotta keep the swirls off the car.

My article on washing should help keep your car swirl free. It is a pain but very doable if you are willing.
For your paint I would use Four Star Ultimate Paint Protection. It will really make that paint slick and shiny. If you need a polish I recommend Poorboy's SSR line. Probably be alright with SSR#2.

Sorry you feel that way. To be totally honest, and I don't want to sound like a d!ck, but I have trouble taking any TRUE detailer seriously if they don't expand their horizons to try new things. I have talked with Sal at Zaino in the past and he made it clear they are not interested in any new vendors. To tell you the truth, there is much better out there anyway. You just have to be open to trying new things and give them an honest shot.
