Mine is actually going to get a coat of glaze soon. :bounce:
I'm coming out there tonight :slap:
My baby is staying home. The kid who does it is going to be at my house bright and early :yup:
now way!!! i used so many different products... Zaino just lasts longer and has a much deeper finish than any of the other stuff... i probably spents thousands trying out other products... albiet zaino is expensive it is well worth it... :yup:Quote:

what is a good wax im doing my car thes weekend and i would like to use something real good...it will be the first time i have waxed this car..
I always do mine myself... Need to do it next weekend when I come home... shes real dirty
wash and wax myself. detail work where they get really involved I have a company that i have connections through my old job handle. They do inside and out details that can make the biggest beaters look like brand new cars. If im feeling real lazy I might jus run it through the local car wash though. For 8 bucks it doesnt make me feel that bad.
I do it on the side for extra $$$$
Zaino... you don't wanta wax on your car... you want a polish... :DQuote:

Polish...then wax.
i guess i'm just lazy...........
I'll pay TAP to detail my SS!! :yup:
I do it myself! Heck, I never pay anyone to do anything if I know how to do it myself.
do it myself.
ALways do it myself. Meguiar's has been my choice for years. I've seen cars w/Zaino & my cars always look just as good if not better.
i love doing mine .....paid someone to buff mine never again they screwed up some of my paint .....takes being seen in direct sunlight at the right angle but paint is dull in a place guess they burnt the paint ..........funny thing is it looks great in regular light
do it myself. why pay someone else money to do something you are fully capable of doing yourself...?
In the process of doing mine... washed it twice.. then using the 3 step Meguirs process... paint cleaner, polish, and wax... and man are my arms TIRED! I thought a night watching porn was a workout.. :lol: Just waiting for the wax to dry.. to buff it out.....
does that come in a kit????got a car show this weekend and need to my car on friday....Quote:

will it come with directions?
Yeah... but expect it to take several hours....
I am a do-it-yourself kind of guy!
wash it with dawn dish soap first... takes off all the old wax/polish and takes it down to the clear coat... then clay bar... then apply...Quote:

I prefer to be the one to make love to mine and the wife's car lol.
I detail my baby so it will turn out just the way I want it. And she stinks of Zaino. ;)
As my wife would tell you, I spent the entire weekend "licking and petting " my car. No one touches my car, but me!
