hmmm i don't think it really matters which detailing clay you get.. mother's, meguiar's or zaino.. i've used all 3 and they're really the same i think.. go for what's cheap and easy to get.. just use a clean bucket of car shampoo as a lubricant when you're using it.. you'll use too much spray detailer if you use that and it won't make a difference anyway since clay pretty much removes any polish/wax coat
to be honest the clay bar only sees my car about once a year- basically the times i take out the orbital buffer and do a full detail of the car to take out swirls.. if you use a good polish (nxt / zaino / optima / klasse, etc) after it's clay'd once, it should keep the paint in good shape so it doesn't get oxidized, rough, and won't have lots of road tar.. if you use a carnauba wax (which i refuse to do) though, you'll want to clay it much more often like what jin mentioned
for leather care, there are 2 really good ones- leatherique or zaino z9 & z10.. i've never used leatherique but i've read that if you want to RESTORE neglected leather, that's the way to go.. it takes some effort though and is a bit pricey.. zaino's great and i'll even say makes me happy i got a leather interior so i can use z10 on it and live with the smell.. just use a good brush to apply the z9 (or any leather product)- it's a huge difference over using a towel / pad (http://www.autogeek.net/natural-hors...ery-brush.html).. for a store brand lexol is probably one of the better ones, but i haven't used it before
i'm thinking of ordering some more zaino stuff sometime that i ship to my job in NY.. if you want, i can get you stuff in the same order.. i think kel wants me to get some zaino for him too

Jake you should open up a high end detailing business. Have a few guys do the work and give the approval for the final work.
Dave, got the text ended up finding used parts/making use of the paper weight in the garage.

thanks Al! ... wats your opinion on the 350z style pod tho ... I wanna go turbo in the future and I'll need more than just temps and oil pressure so I am saving the rb pod for that ... and these are hard to find I feel like ... or am I wrong?

$275 is kind of crazy for a pod. That pod is the lotek pod blended with the stock dash centerpiece yeah its nice work but the pod itself costs 45 dollars maybe... I have the lotek pod it matches pretty well and looks good i only paid maybe 50 bucks. If your going turbo save your money for other stuff no sense in spending 275 for a pod.

So there went a couple of g's. So on the other hand. U think next month in May you'll be able to close the deal on the coilovers?
