Good Starter Kit?
I am looking for a good kit to have. I need to give my car one last good detailing before winter sets in.
I put together the following list, and would like some recommendations on it.
The car is a '06 NBP wNavi. Has some very minor swirl marks that no one really notices, but JUMP out at me because I know they're there.
ZKIT-2 Zaino Ultimate Protection Show Car Kit
Z-PC Z-PC Fusion Dual Action Paint Cleaner Swirl Remover
Z-12 Z-12 Clear-View Glass Polish
Z-16 Z-16 Perfect Tire Gloss
Any thoughts would be appreciated.
Thanks

There's really not much to say or recommend if you're going Zaino. Without a doubt, I think Zaino is an outstanding product based on the number of folks who use it. I also know there are other products on the market that have garnered a loyal following. But the one common denominator in detailing is surface prep. Regardless of what product is used, surface prep will determine the result.

Like anything in life, find something you enjoy doing/using, and do it frequently!

I would also recommend Optimum Poli-Seal (www.topoftheline.com) and polishes as they stay workable (liquid) for longer. ( the Optimum product line is ideal for the inexperienced or neophyte user as they are very easy to use and the polish remain clear enabling you to see wither the imperfections have been removed.
