No offence but shouldn't your post be in the Vendor Marketplace Section?

No issues with you posting anywhere you like. My concern is that some posts could be construed as a "product flog" by a Vendor.

Members seek the opinions of other members as to their experiences with various products.

Could I suggest a seperate thread devoted entirely to your product line?

I do apologize for coming across that way. I would like to talk about other products as most of them gave me different influences. The only thing with that is I really don't want anyone thinking I am product bashing.

I respect your request and I will be more aware of it.

Dear Mike Salter, Founder and President of TheDetailDude.com
I am really curious about your products. Would you consider a trial pack and or a group buy situation for club lexus members to try your WAXES and SEALANTS? We can post our opinions after using it. Thank you.

I've been a long time Zaino users, mainly because I like the durability. If you decide to try it, just do the clay bar, Z-AIO and Z-CS, topped with Z-8. I do all the crazy steps with Z-5 and Z-2 but I don't think it makes that much of a difference anymore.

Wolfgang products give a deeper, wetter look. Zaino gives a shiny, plastic-y look, but lasts a very long time. As with any product you use, your paint should be prepped well. A properly prepped car would look good using almost any product.
