Prima is awesome! I've used Epic, BG, slick, hydro, nourish, mystique so far and I'm thoroughly impressed. I've also been WOWed by BW!!!!!

NAM is the bomb too! I've learned so much about detailing and car care and minis, etc! Thanks everyone!

watch out, this hobby can suck up 1 day per weekend, if you're not careful! Your kids, will be saying "Dad, can you do something other than fuss over your car?".

Welcome to the OCD club!

One hint - if you have a spouse or SO that doesn't quite "get" the detailing obsession, make sure you keep *their* car clean as well, and they'll start to appreciate the extra effort and results.

My wife used to be very indifferent when it came to detailing. You know the type - wash it with a sponge, dry it with a beach towel, and wax it every two or three years whether it needs it or not. She also wouldn't think twice about setting her purse down on the hood or roof.

Now, she's almost as picky as I am. She can spot swirl marks (and even prior body work) from a block away, and I can see her cringe when we're out and see a car that's been shoddily "detailed".

Banana Gloss is a hand application product. You don't need a polisher to get great results from BG.
Good work on the Prima Big Bundle - that will keep you busy.
