[s-cars] What are your favorite auto detailing products?

[Taka Mizutani]

Sean-
Thank you for the tip- I did not know that the glaze would still do what it
does if
I used a damp cloth and introduced water into the mix.

That's really good to know- I've always had a very hard time removing excess
glaze
if I overdo a spot and then it dries.

Now all I need is a downdraft bay in the garage with waist-level and floor
lighting,
drainage and air filtration to do the heavy detailing work. I always have
problems
with dust when I'm detailing.
