Default Detailing toys have arrived! Can't wait for summer!

Wanting to be a little bit more active on the Forums that I'm subbed to, I figure I'd share some of the product I received earlier today.
Been using Zaino since last year, really loving the product, the depth of shine trhat goes with it as well as how durable it really is.

Just did my annual Dawn (Liquid detergent) wash and claybar, paint doesn't half as good as it will in the next month or two.

No wax, no polish, didn't do the trim as of yet either. Dawn + Claybar

Can't wait for Summer, gonna slam her down (Coils) and lose the winter wheels and tires I have on now =D - Vehicle is daily driven, rain and snow, every year.

Wow. What a collection! I hate waxing my car. I'd rather pay someone to do it right than do it myself, I'm really lazy haha. Props to you for doing it yourself.

Thanks man, and I know where you're coming from, I get that all the time.

I've had people walk by me at 8:00am, heading to work and then coming back from work at 5:00pm, I'm still doing the same thing.

For me, its a hobby, it makes the day go by and I find it to be too much fun...sometimes I find myself polishing 3-5 times a week.

curious that you mentioned dawn liquid, is that a secret that works better than others or just what you picked?

xx10Gt - Didn't come as a kit, I bought what I needed. A whole supply like that will last me atleast a year and then some, approximately $200 worth of product.

Tommyc - Dawn Liquid ONLY to strip away previous layers of waxes and polishes; Not to be used a regular car wash. Dawn is one of the only companies Zaino recommends as well to remove old product from the car since it is safe, concentrated and non-abrasive.

I'm the same way, detailing my car is relaxing and the end result is a great looking car. I wash my car at least once a week and wipe it down every other day.
