for leather, i really like griot's leather care spray. just spray into a short threaded mf towel and wipe away. leaves behind a clean matte finish.
a small bottle goes a LONG way.

But seriously, Griots is good. i've used it before.

ive tried basically all off-the-shelf stuff, and some online only specialty stuff. i like my gear simple.

QD, clay, wax, sealants, window cleaner, interior stuff, waterless wash = griots
polish = meguiar's scratch-x 2.0
polymer spray = prima hydro
interior plastics and seals = prima nero (50/50 mix)
bug remover = wizard's bug release
water beading/windsheild = rain-x and distilled water
tire dressing = meguiar's hot shine (use sparingly)

6" ro = griots
3" ro = griots
detailing cart = griots
buckets with casters = griots
mitts and towels = griots, prima

towel/pad detergent = griots mf cleaner

im sure im missing a few more but my system is very simple.

You got a big box of detailing crap headed your way :tup:

:rofl2:

i remember giving away all my off-the-shelf crap to folks at work.

i hate that i've eaten at every place here so much for the past 6 years that i have no idea what i want to eat anymore. i was thinking about the $5 box from taco bell, but don't feel like dealing with the heartburn later.

i might just go to panda express and get some rice and chicken. blahhhh

There is a guy from maintenance that details on the side and I told him I would bring a few things in for him... 12 gallon jugs, 7 half gallon jugs, 12 different waxes and sealants, 8 bottles of citrus cleaner :icon17:

Mine is usually decent about getting me my Amazon packages since they switched over from UPS. Remind me to buy you lunch and dinner if we ever find a chance to meet up.

Fridge/freezer cleaning day today. Sea scallops, shrimp, shitake mushrooms probably with rice noodles and some kind of peanut sauce :yum:

Was great to take the Z out for a cruise today. Sun is shining, blue skies, high 80's. The Z was breaking necks again. Kind of nice not seeing a Z on every corner. :tup:

plus finished all the busy work yesterday so today was more like a relaxing day at work. perfect timing.

I would drive it down south to see my Dad on those curvy back roads and think "Damn I wish I had the Z right now" but it's unlikely I'd ever take the Z on a road trip like that. So I figured I'd look for something with a little more fun factor.

:iagree:

Who knows, maybe you'll end up completely accepting the Camry. I thought I did, but the ride was just too cushy. Toyota stiffened up the newer gen Camrys (still not sporty by any means but better). At the end of the day, life's to short to always worry about money. Just make more!
