Re: car detailing (LBR92DA-T)
Here are the items I use on my car
PC 7424 (random orbital buffer)
Clay Magic (claybar)
Gold Class Wash
3M PI-II
Meg DACP
Meg #82 polish
Klasse AIO
Klasse SG
Platnium UPP
MF towels
S100 wax
Meguiars Final Inspection QD
Waffle Weave Towels to dry
303 on dash and tires
Aquapel on windows
To wash the car I use a cotton mitt and use the 2 bucket method. The second bucket is filled with water, so I can rinse the mitt between passses. I also use a seperate mitt for the lower panels of the car.

I only go through that entire process 4 times a year and it takes me the whole day. In fact, when applying Klasse SG, I usually wait 24hrs between each layer.
However, when I wash in between cycles, I just wash& dry, followed by some QD. It only takes me about an hour.

I used zaino on my S2k, sadly I don't really care about my teg's exterior appearance
if you want pics of a nice zainoed s2k let me know, I'll post
but I LOVE the stuff
it lasted for about a month and a half for me

Somebody must visit Autopia.org!
Good stuff. I just ordered a few Poorboy's products (Polish w/Carnauba and EX sealant) and I got some Pakshak MF towels yesterday. Can't wait to try it all out!

You got me. Before going onto Autopia, I had no idea about car detailing and was doing it all wrong. I've heard a lot of good things about EX and will try it out one of these days. Lastly, Pakshak had some great towels and has great prices.
