I just want to to say "thank you" to Dave B. and all of the regulars here for making this such a great place to visit. I`ve learned an incredible amout of info here in the last 4 months, and spent an incredible amount of money making use of that info!
Because this is my first post I thought that I would post some pix of my ride, to show off some of what I have learned here (and I`m not done learning yet!)

This is my new baby, picked it up last December. Z`d all over, even the wheels!

A shot taken to show off the freshly Z`d tires/wheels, and the tailpipe (polished with LusterLace)

Well, since I`m already here, I might as well post these "before and afters" of my buddy`s Passat we did last weekend.

Thanks a lot! I still don`t have any "hardware", such as a PC, so it was all done by hand. His father bought it for him in 2000 (must be nice...) and he said that the only washes that it had ever received had been at the do-it-yourself stalls..with the BRUSH!! Even so, it had been months since any type of cleaning. I was wishing that hadn`t dumped my harsh acid-based wheel cleaners for the milder P21s...my fingers hurt!

Outstanding Job, ShadowMan !! Gotta ask you - on that Escape`s body cladding - what Z product did you use (if any)?

Thanks so much for all the praise!! I`m really not worthy...I`ve seen what others here can do!
ScrampaTeg03: The camera I use is the Canon PowerShot A20, an excellent 2 megapixel camera for around $300. It`s been discontinued, but replaced with the A40 model for the same price...and it captures small video clips. If your looking to get a digital camera I highly recommend using http://www.techbargains.com/ to find the best deal.
Len_A: Honestly, I don`t use anything on my Escape`s cladding. I`m not sure if any type of Zaino would really benefit it or not, it`s pretty dirt repellant and shiny on it`s own. I`ve tried the Meguire`s trim detailer (the bottle with the Escape on the cover), and it made the cladding look shiny/wet...and attracted dirt and dust like crazy!! That`s the 3rd time I`ve been burned by Meg`s products! Every time I wash I use one of those abrasive bug sponges with the nylon webbing over it to clean the cladding, careful not to touch the paint. It`s like using a 2-mitt method except that I don`t have to worry about abrasiveness.
