I unfortunately had the same result wasn’t sure if it was just me. I applied the leather conditioner and in a couple days there was light spots in areas that I hadn’t touched. So I wasn’t sure if I had to apply it a few times before it took. I’ll keep using it and see if there are any changes. It looks great when I first apply it but after a couple days I get the light spots.

I take it this is the new formula?

yes correct, you can switch out the backing plates easily, this has maybe been used 3-4 times max 2 were to apply wax. 

 

i feel its a good price including shipping with all the pads included, which a few are brand new in package. so if anyone wants to make an offer feel free and no i will not take $100

The meguiars  forum is actually good advice . Especially for your asking price . I bought a used cyclo on here for a about 250 USD shipped and it's 10 times the tool that this one is. 100 bucks sounds about right for a sale here . I'm sure other venues will be more kind to meguires stuff sorry . 

I don't know if it will get it out . But it certainly won't hurt . I would start with the clay then try revive . U may just have to get some correcting polish and do by hand.  Imo it should come out with a little work . Hard to tell without seeing it tho

Machine. 

How much pressure are u using on your machine? 

I would skip the detail spraying your gonna polish . Slow arm speed would be something I recommend especially if you don't get the results right away . Go slower to get the work done faster

I have a cyclo and love it . As mentioned all ready there's not an issue getting it into small places. It has a 16 mm throw that corrects very well and it's butter smooth. It's made in the USA if that's important to you and every part of that machine is serviceable not just the brushes. It's a machine that will last and last

I think even if I had a 25ft cord I would need use and extension cord. I do have a large vehicle tho and it doesn't fit in the garage

I love my sidekick

Sounds like bs to me . Just sayin

Both of those need bodywork to fix 100% the gouge/hole I would fill and get some colour matched spray bomb or touch up paint with an air brush ,clear over top and then Polish to blend in. The bottom chip I would touch up paint then clear touch-up paint over and Polish. Might make them less noticeable cuz right now they stick out bigtime. Really u got nothing to loose

Looks like good advice here

Show and shine doesn't have everything tho. That's the only thing that bothers me about them .

Yeah sidekick not really ment to do the whole car . U could but it gonna take u awhile. I do most of the car to knock of a bit of the water and get it out of the cracks . Then follow up with a towel and detail spray

Yeah I share the same sentiment. The old wesite may have not been as good but at least we could ship for free given enough money was spent. I just bit the bullet and payed my shipping but this will be the last time I think. Hopefully they have the issues resolved when I'm ready for my next order

Brushes are generally considered a wear item like brakes in a car and are not warranty. For the average enthusiasts they will not wear these out within the warranty period anyway .

So this is from the website. I took out the name and just left Z. Also, for a FYI Z doesn not stand for Zymol

 

Best of all, Z mile-deep, crystal clear, mirror-like results will last and last, thanks to the most advanced polymer protectants available. Expect months of durability from Z, rather than weeks of quickly fading protection like those of our competitors. And like all Z Show Car Polish protectants, you can layer Z for even greater results. Because Z contains no abrasives, it can be successfully layered, unlike other products that contain cleaners and cheap oils. Layering improves the uniformity of the surface, hides and fills imperfections even better, and will improve the gloss, depth, shine, and "wetness" of your vehicle's paint with each subsequent application.

 

Is this really a wax?

So I don't use an Adam's product. It's another product. It may or may not start with a Z. This product builds on itself. The more you put on the better and deeper the shine. From the replies I think I will not add polish while uncovered and wipe it down when I recover the car.

Why not just ask the guy doing the stripes then . Surly he knows what he wants . 

Then I don't know what towels the op has. I got my orange ones with pumpkin spice detail spray and they are ultra plush and soft.

I would get the stripe first then coat just don't coat the stripe if u want it to stay matte . If u coat it first he is just gonna have to Polish it off so the stripe bonds proper.

Leather conditioner

Don't use cheap towels on paint it's not worth it. i found out the hard way on my last vehicle . Now I spend a few extra buck and keep my ride swirl free

Pumpkin spice smells amazing imo

If there general purpose there Probably the nicest general purpose towel I've ever used. Better than other guys premium towels. I use them to dry my truck and I prefer them to single softs

I would not use foam but it's up to u. I would actually machine sand without foam. Larry kostila (ammo nyc) has some good videos on YouTube about wetsanding. Jason rose has been featured several times talking about the subject, Very knowledgeable dude.
