Why don't you contact him?

The microfibers I meant to get the thickest ones you can get, not the thin wash cloth style towels.
Get these

and not these

get this

get these

get a good drying towel, as most swirls are made during the washing and drying process

get two of these for your 5 gallon wash buckets( prevents dirt from being caught in your wash mitt, one for the clean soapy water and one for the rinse water

one good wash mitt

and your choce of sealant/wax, a sealant is a synthetic wax, it will laster longer(3-6 months with regular washing) than a carnuba wax but wont "pop" as well , most people wont beable to tell though. Some people use one on top of the other

And as far as zaino stuff, i never used it, from what i read it was top dog some years ago, before i started detailing, its just another brand of cereal in the cereal isle as far as i am concerned. Pain in the butt to remove from what i read. There are things way better since new technology advanced

here is a before picture

Horrible Swirls removed by m105 and m205
and after(they are still in the clear bra, hadnt done that yet but the stuff works as you can see

Speaking of applicators, non-CR people will also want a foam applicator and some 303 Protectant (blue label, not green) for their softtops.

if i didnt already have a PC, i would def buy this.
great starter set.
all you need after this is some polish (they have a buy one get one free on poor boys SSR line so you can get 2 diffrent strengths for like $10).

since you want a deep wet shine, you shoudl go with a wax or a sealant + wax.

i hear great things about wolfgangs line.
personally, ive had great success with prima epic, poor boys ex-p for sealants and dodo juice purple haze for wax.

makes the car look greasy
