[QUOTE=IAIA;1569654934]
It's only $100. Isn't that just like 6-7 drinks in a fancy club these days?[QUOTE]

Man all this little stuff starts to add up. 100 here 200 there, 100 here... I might be able to buy all the drinks in the bar at this rate! LOL

Good news once, you get all this stuff, I would only have to resupply once a season on supplies I bet.

IF you go with Zaino:

If you are going to clay the car for the first time you will want to use Dawn dish soap, this will help strip off whatever old wax you have on there.

When you are ready to clay the car mix alittle bit of Zaino soap and water together and spray a small section of your paint and rub the clay bar over that area, do this to the entire car.

You will then was the car again using Zaino soap

After this you will then start to put the Zaino polish on the car. I will usually start a car on saturday afternoon and apply 1 coat of Zaino and then on Sunday I will apply another coat

Actually, if you're a casual hobbyist or amateur polisher, like me, most of the supplies except for QD will likely age beyond use before you use them up. I still have 2/3 of the bottles of Menzerna SIP & FP, and 1/2 bottles of Z2 and Z5. And that's after about 2 years. I've gone through about 4 Z6's and 2 Z8s. Still have plenty of Z16 and 303.

So, no. Even your pads and MF towels should last with casual use and good washing techniques.

What a bargain, huh?

We try and offer a forum discount on most items to wrangle in those costs and making it affordable to get the newest products each season. Take a look:

Default Easy and Shiny

Hello all,

I have a 2008 crystal red metallic covertible. It has two coats of Rejex (sealant) followed by 2 coats of Pinnacle Sovereign carnuba wax. When the Pinnacle wers of , the car still is protected and shines like crazy. In fact, I can't tell exactly when the Pinnacle has worn off since the shine never seems to change, due to the Rejex underneath.

John T.
