Yup they do fit. It took a little wedging the first time but now they slide right in.

Yes, that bag is totally sweet. I have one too (of course) full of stuff that I take to MINI meets and long trips when I need to have the MINI's looking perfect...

I also use it to when I don't want to pull out the whole cart and such...

I used the Griots Garage Spray Wax for the first time and it does a really good job of extending the life of base wax coat. After using it the paint feels much smoother than after a normal wash and the water beads up very nicely....plus if you spray the outside windows it acts like Rain-x, which is a nice side effect...

I still use Speed Shine in between washes....it works really good on wheels in between washes.....

i use SprayOn wax after every other QD app on my hobby cars.

it's a great way to have this super slick finish to prevent bugs and
bascially crap from sticking to your paint (and clearbra). it's also
a great product to use as LSP.

i would not use it on glass though, as it causes smears sometimes
unless you buff with a dry towel (extra work).

I just did my fall detail with Griot's One Step Paint Sealant. I'll post pics in a new thread after I get home tonight.

I just finished washing my car, even though it's supposed to rain today. It was just so darn dirty that I didn't even care.

another must-try product is the Griot's LeatherCare Spray. just get the
8oz bottle.

this is SO easy to use. just spray onto a MF utility type towel, wipe on,
and wipe off. comes to a matte clean finish. no shiny gunky mess.

and smells fantastic. i use it regulary on my G35C's interior. a
must-have item if you have leather.
