Basically, they looked like the letters used to spell out HONDA, TOYOTA, etc, on the rear of the car. I (again, a long time ago) bought a set...

    Torch Red Mach 1

    I know this pic sucks, but it was the best one. The sun was creating too much of a starburst effect in all the others. Dawn Wash, clay, AIOx2, P21S.

    Starting Out

    I have read over the articles for a couple of days now and am still a little confused. I was wondering what a good starting point would be to start my detailing as far as supplies. Does everyone have basic supplies they use? I was wanting to try out Zaino but did not know if it was necessary...
