http://www.autopia.org/ for any detailing questions you have. A good place to buy stuff is http://properautocare.com/ . Also make sure you use good drying and buffing towels. No old bath towels or tshirts or diapers. Only use good microfiber towels not cheap ones. Trust me on this I am a bit of a detailing fanatic and all my recent vehicles have been of the german variety. The poor Evo paint quality and clear coat will get swirled quickly if using bad stuff or the wrong techniques. No circular motions by hand when detailing etc.
s4_toe_v08--you really seem like you know your car detailing. What do you use for cleaning the interior of your car?

why would you care if someone else plugs a product they carry? it's not like he started the thread. He owns a shop and he's telling us he has tried many waxes and he's found the best. I can appreciate his personal experience since i would say he is somewhat of an expert. why the flame and the "ask the mods" comment...gay

53 posts in 5 hours, not counting those that have been deleted: I'm telling you, nothing revs up a forum debate like a post asking about the "best" oil or the "best" wax.

jimmyv65 -- Who really cares about the interior of the car? Besides how many evo's have a baby seat in them? You can come and detail the interior whenever you want.

Nothing like good discussion. I like Zaino, but I feel like 10 coats of anything will make a car shine.

I'm sorry, but I am firm beleiver that if something is "so good," and it's extremely hard to find, then it actually can't be that good. If somebody makes a good product, they are going to push it hard, just like mothers and meguiars and turtle wax, etc. Many retailers will aslo want to carry the product too. So I don't think these random names some of you are throwing out can be "the best". Don't get me wrong, they might be allright, but they aren't the shiznit.
