sometimes I wish I got a black paint then I would make it sexy as hell..

But black paint can be PITA sometimes when it comes to scratches or any scuffs.. My dad's f150 is black and I have seen enough **** on it ha, thats why I am going to do it up for my dad..

Back to Black is really that useless??? I got some stupid white marks on back of my side mirrors and on the trim piece of my running board, they would not come off.. so I thought I'd apply those back to black to get the white marks disappear?

Back to Black is not a dye or anything - it's just the worst vinyl dressing ever created. It won't make white spots come off.

The white marks are probably damage from road debris hitting the mirrors. Fill those in with some touch up paint. Hit me up if you need any help with detailing your cars!

I cant wait to clean my car on thursday. it's my next day off and cant wait to have that thing looking like new

Do yourself a favor, though, and return the "Back to Black." That stuff is useless. And I would be weary of taking advice from someone who says that they put on one coat of "polish." //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/wink.gif.608e3ea05f1a9f98611af0861652f8fb.gif

x2 tried some of that on my dads truck on the black parts around the bumper and whatnot... looks good for about 5 min then it just looks like it did before //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/frown.gif.a3531fa0534503350665a1e957861287.gif seems no different than armorall

that ***** man I guess I got to be returning the bottle and save me 6 bucks..

actually the white marks are more of something that got hit into my trim piece and left a mark..

But strange thing is that the marks on my running board and my side mirror are exactly same so I have no clue how the hell did they get on there..

That infiniti looks good detailed!! what did you use?

Don't know what the one guy is talking about saying the NXT stuff from Meguairs *****. I have used that the last year and is some of the best wax I have used and I have a black car, which can show a lot of marks if not detailed right when the sun hits it.

I do like Zaino products as well, but they are pricey.

 

[probmxstyle 10+ year member]

NXT and Meguiers are good for over the counter products. The Turtle Wax ICE stuff *****, it might look ok at first, but it wont last a couple days.

Here is my arsenal:

 

[timaishu 10+ year member]

The NXT stuff is real nice.

Its pretty good considering it can bring a lil shine to my shitty earl scheib paint job with no real clear coat.

yeah that is what i thought.. not sure why that guy said it ******.. I have read plenty of great reviews on it so I am confident with how it is going to come out..

Zainos are kinda pricey yeah but I was looking at one of the kits which was pretty cheap- 120 bucks I think for almost everything that you need really.. everything else are extras which means they are not required.

If I had the dough and wanted to buy some products, I would just buy one of the kits by Zainos and call it a day..

In my opinion, leather cleaner, conditioner, car wash, wax, claybar, and polish should be from Zainos for best results..

but for window cleaner, tire shine, and wheel cleaner; any products will do.. like I said it is just my opinion.. I loved the armor all extreme tire shine, but today I decided to give ICE tire shine a try so we will see how it comes out..

nice stuff you got there! must be into detailing?

Thanks for saying ICE ***** lol.. well even if it *****, I am going to use it, sorry bud..

But NXT 2.0 wax should seal it up pretty good and make it worth a while..

The NXT stuff is real nice.

yeah hope it will come out real good on our vehicles

In the future, I will be buying this Zaino Ultimate Protection Show Car Kit

From what it seems, this kit will give me everything I need..

let me know if I should be looking at something else.. thanks

I disagree on some of the the stuff thats bolded. I've never used anything Zaino, but any wash is fine as long as it lathers well. Ive also used interior products from a few different companies and they all got me the same result, Dark trim, or a clean shiny dash. Couldn't distinguish between any of the results tbh.

The only ICE product I use is their wash. I bought a gallon of the stuff for 5 bucks from GTM. Lathers really nice.

I dont like their polish though. Makes little difference.

Duragloss products are the greatest, especially their price and availability.

Ive used the NXT in the metal can...works good to me.

Then again ive never used anthing but meguiars, mothers, and NXT.

Just seems like Zaino costs way to much....as soon as you pull out of the driveway that $100 you just spent on that detail is gone.

I prefer detailing my car for $30 or less.

Check on the trunk of the white car. Autozone detailing FTW

The nice thing about zaino is its durability. If applied correctly it will last all year.

I hate that Ice Wax stuff with a passion...

Zaino Bros. FTMFW...it lasts for a long time and the vehicle shines brilliantly if done correctly...
