San Bernardino monthly meet and drive 2007 thread.
I do have one request for the Zaino day though: As much I as loved seeing everyone... that was just way too many cars to detail in one day...
Less is more this time around.
have any of u guys ever compared/ contrasted zaino applications vs. porter cable polishing? am just wondering what kind of differences there are in the results and the pros/ cons to each...

ok ok ok.
if you notice the time i posted was like a little after 5 this morning. so i knew i would get that cliff hanger response.
anyways it was the gas. you all know i run the cheap stuff, and have been for some time. well sunday i put some 89 octane in and while i'm taking it to red line again monday no cell flashing. i did it today as well and no cell. so now i'm ready for another gallon of tolulene..

ah.... well, i guess it's good to know that we need to stick to 91 octane for red lining i guess 
also, in keith's case, i was just wondering if polishing first then zainoing afterwards might be more effective at gradually smoothing out the top layer of clear coat that has the blemishes... in combating my spots from mr. clean autodry, jun has had me on a prescription of a once a month light polish with the porter cable. and, it's made a very noticeable difference. (i think i posted some pix a while back.) he pointed out that it took time for the blemishes to get on there, so the safest approach is to gently polish it out gradually- so as not to go too harsh at once. so far, i've been very happy with this method and am continuing with it. just thought i'd throw that out there as a reference in case it might help.

so did everyone feel the earthquakes last night, a 3.8 and 3.9 at the interchange of the 215 and 15 freeways. I was playing xbox but then decided to turn off the electronics

You know we might become a victome of our own success. if we gets lots and lots of post, that just means they will close this thread sooner......
