Unhappy Tips for a rookie...

Well, my T/A has been sidelined for over 6 months and I'm FINALLY about to get it fixed and driveable tomorrow. ( I can't wait) Anyways, I don't want the car to just drive and look like a 17 foot long dust magnet, so what product(s) do you offer for someone trying to detail their car for the first time?

No its not the first time I've washed it, its just the first time I actually want to LEARN how to wash it using the right chemicals, methods, etc.

Sorry if this has been asked before, this is my 3rd visit to this section.

Check out www.zainobros.com Zaino is the best when it comes to shine, durability and protection for the exterior of the car and the interior.

Thanks a bunch, didn't see which type of soap to use on it though, Zaino website looked like a bunch of wax/gloss enhancement products. Nonetheless, thanks, thats what I like to see.

Hi, The soap that you use is Dawn dishwashing liquid ffoor the initial wash to strip all the old wax off. Forever after use the Zaino Car wash. Also Zaino is a Gloss Enhancer but is definatly not a wax. This is the best polish Ive ever used.My 95 Formula looks better than new.......Anymore ?'s .........Mark

Zaino's Z-7 is their car wash. It contains a small amount of the polish in it to help maintain the finish.
