My new secrets...

Today I participated in my first AutoX at Tire Rack here in South Bend, it was awesome. I then traveled to work under harse conditions, the car ended up being filthy. I got home from work at about 11, where I saw I recieved probably two of the most revolutionary detailing products... ever...

Here's a little pic for you too, I got bored...



STAYED TUNED for what could be the best thing yet for MINI finish care...

Mikey

Yeah but Mikey not all of us can afford to treat our MINIs with such special chemicals.

Guess it will be a product left to the lucky few.

HAHAHA I should let you guys go on, it's too funny...

But I'm nice...

What you see is just a simple act of me spraying water on my car...

What you won't see until about monday, is the new shine products i received. One is an expensive wax, and the other is Zaino's newest product: Z5 PRO. Im going through an extensive detailing of my car, one that's taking me almost a week to complete (I have to work during the day). The final result will be a fully clayed, fully polished finish with several layers of wax and hopefully the wettest shine any of you have ever seen, hopefully. I'll post some pics when I'm done. I just wanted to get your minds thinking. Some of the supplies i used are for everyone some aren't, ie the wax im using runs about $60 a jar. Total supplies needed to do this sort of work, if bought fresh off the internet (ie PC 7424, polish, etc) will run about $300. This first step while being the most expensive is really the only expensive step in the process, because once you find the right products, all you need to do is refill.

Hope you like what's to come...

Mikey
