No problem William...

I'm a converted Zaino user (claybar, z7, z6, z5, z3, zfx) who formerly use to use the Zymol Cleaner Wax you found in most WalMarts. I enjoy the longevity of Zaino though there are unquestionably other waxes that give you a better depth of shine. With the testing I've read at this forum, I may experiment with a <i>topper</i> on Zaino to give it the <i>wet</i> look instead of the <i>mirror</i> finish I currently receive...

Rain-X works wonders at speeds of 30+ mph, since using it the first time I don't think I've ever used my front wipers on the freeway... Another product I love is the California Water Blade, saves me about ten (10) minutes drying my vehicle. After using the Water Blade after a wash, I only need to use one (1) towel to dry the remainder of the vehicle, previously I'd need about three (3).

I actually use Pledge (yes, that Pledge) on my dash, it was highly recommended by those at the Corvette Forum. I'm pretty happy with it and there isn't a better smell than Lemon Pledge... I protect my leather interior with Meguiar's Leather Cleaner and Conditioner; I'm pretty sure that is what its called. It suits my needs real well and smells nice though when I run out I'm probably switching to something else...

As far as wheel dressings, I've yet to find any that last. I've tried most everything, I'm guessing my expectations are too high...

Something I just recently started to do is detail my engine compartment. I can't think of the name, something Green All-Purpose Cleaner. After one (1) time detailing my engine compartment, it looks far better than I ever imagined it could...

Through the advice of Sal, I use 100% cotton Fieldcrest towels for drying and removing wax.
