Thanks for the compliments guys.

I use mostly Zaino products... Z5, ZFX, Zaino Z7 wash, either Meguiar's M34 Final Inspection QD or Z6 Gloss enhancer and Meguiar's Gold Class Endurance tire stuff.

Use only an electric leaf blower to dry my car now whenever possible. The less touching, the less swirls and scratches. Also gets water out of the mirror, crevices, behind plate, wheels, etc.

When I do a full bottom-up detail prep was Zaino Z18 clay, 3-M Finess-it, Meg's scratch-X & finer products to take care of swirls or scratches, then layer on the Z5 / zfx combo.

Thanks for sharing your trade secrets! The leafblower idea is just GENIUS!! <Wonder if they sell those on eBay >

They're only a month old, give me time and I'll ding 'em up. They get coats of Zaino as well just like the rest of the car. Soap and water wash only.
