Well for Xmas i got around 500$ in detaling supplies. Gone are the days of running to walmart for some zymol. or detailing spray and some applicator pads.





I got the ultimate kit from zaino, and a PC with a good assortment of pads



Im glad i stubled on this website a while back, because i def. have learned about keeping my car in great shape, and some stuff i used to do that was actually very bad



So i look forward to acheiving better results and better care of my car





here are some pictures from the detail i did a couple days ago, using zymol, and using a walmart orbital buffer. So i can fully expect to see better results using zaino and a PC.

that is true, but you will be utterly surprised to see what some wetsanding, or even just compounding will do.

If you want a solution that sounds of the deep end but is a miracle try silver or brass polish

That is right . You will be completely amazed by it .

I did my camera screen that was a mess and came out 100 % perfect .



Let me know how it works out for you .
