Hi guys, I am just so confused now as to what i should REALLY use to detail my car. Just so everyone knows, i have just about EVERY high end detailing material your average joe user will ever own. Most of them i have thrown away and just last week i gave alot to my cousine to detail his car. Here is what i currently have and Zaino I should have on monday (6/13/05).

Anyway all i want to do is find the right stuff to use on my 2002 Black z06 Corvette. Last week Friday i applied AIO by hand on the hood and facial of the car. Also I

applied a small sample of Zaino to the facial and hood a friend sent me from the z06 forum. I sure made the car look wet and slick.... Now I will like honest opionion from the experts as to what i should stick with. I really don`t want to start applying all sort of wax and what not like i just did with the rest of the car.
