Oh she was already out and about as soon as I was done. Its raining right now too and I'm at work. My only method of transportation; even in winter.

Was rather happy to see rain. Wait for some sunshine and get right back on detailing. Real hobby.

I daily drive my car as well and I love when it gets misty after a good detail. The water all beaded up is proof of all that hard work.

According to Meg's website, dish soap is not recommended as it strips off the wax.

That was completely intential and is the purpose: to strip off the Meguiar's POLISH.
Start a new coat, with ALL the wax stripped using Zaino.

There are some Zaino distibutors. I'm located in Toronto, so I get them from my local supplier here (About a 30 min drive away)

Most order it online and pay the shipping fee, but its better to order in bulk. Let me know if you want to know where to start / what to get.

I can say that the roof of your garage is well built.

Yes if you could let me know what I should start with, that would be appreciated.

One day of washing (wheels and all) + Trim Cleaning (the *****) > Garage > Sleep > Wake up > Polish

Start with the basics, like I did.
First of all riddle me these:

What color is your car?
Do you have a polisher/are you okay with doing things by hand?
Has your car ever been clayed?
Do you prefer an brands/fav companies?
Any heavy swirling/fine scratches on the paint itself?

Hah, yeah, gotta love it.

Looks great! Awesome job. ZAINO = amazing.
Zaino is the best. I have been using them for years now and I will not use another polish at all. A little on the pricey side, but you get amazing results and do not need to use much.

Zaino looks good... but lighting does wonders for photography doesn't it?

You know what man? I can't agree with that more.
I've looked around, done my Duragloss Research + Klasse Products.
Yes, if you do the math in terms of how many oz of polish you get, Zaino will seem stupid expensive. Especially while other companies are selling 32oz/36oz servings of polish.
BUT.
Zaino requires so little to worth with, you just can't argue with the price.

I worked out the math as follows.

HALF an oz of Z5 Polish will give me about 2 full coats of polish using my DA, and that includes polishing the glass as well.

$16.95 for 8oz does seem like a lot.
But for someone whos learned how to use it, you're looking at 32 COATS per bottle...
Some people barely do 2-5 coats a year of polish. The bottle will last.

Can't deny how long the product will last, also, given that the shelf life is 5+ years, can definitely make it last.
