Did you have to use the secret Zaino handshake before you were allowed to buy some?

Im sure Zaino is nice but talk about a pain in the ***. I love detailing my car but all the different products and steps you need to do is just rediculous. And as mentioned you cant just go buy it at the store. I found that a nice wash, clay bar, and a good quality wax is all you need to do.

The new car dealer had some sort of Simoniz process done to my 04 (nope, I didn't ante up anything for that boondoggle). Whatever wonderous result that was supposed to accomplish I don't know. However, the finish does have a very slick feel to it, and hopefully it will stay that way for a good long time. So far, just a quick dusting keeps its' appearance up. In the couple of months I've had the car, it hasn't been washed except for cleaning the brake pad dust from the wheels, and cleaning the windows to get rid of the outgassing residue from the upholserty.
