after doing a fair amount of searching and research on various forums (this one being the best) , i've made the plunge and purchased this from Zaino:

Zaino Ultimate Bundle

i also stopped by Ace Hardware this afternoon and grabbed a couple bottles of 303 to hopefully complete my detailing supply cache.

i've seen that 303 is becoming a popular tire cleaner/dressing as well, so i wonder if i should go with that versus the Zaino tire dressing that comes with the kit. i suppose i might as well use the Zaino first since it is designed only for tires...and then switch to 303 later.

i'll be claying for the first time as well...this forum has been an excellent source of info!
