you will be pleased with the Tropi-care products, and you can get everything you need at one place.

I am assumming you have all the pads and MF towels you need.. if not .. you can grab some additional ones from Tropi-care

grab the following to accomplish what you stated:

TC-6 premium wash - unless you already have your own

TC-1 Tropi-Care Clay Bar - use whatever QD spray you have as clay lube, or pick some up from Tropi-care

TC-8 Swirl Cutter

TC-3 Tropi-Care Polish/Sealant xP

TC-2 Tropi-Care Premium Liquid Wax - finally got to try my sample this last weekend .. I really like the look on top of the TC-3 on darker colors .. does a great job of deepening the shine. Just make sure you give the TC-3 12 hours or so to cure, before topping it with the wax.

Cheetoh, have you even tried Tropi-Care, or are you just blindly loyal to Zaino?

I've used both. They both have their strengths and weaknesses, just like any other product I've used. I would recommend either, but give the edge to Tropi-Care for three reasons:

1) They offer a very comprehensive product line at good prices.
2) They're a sponsor here.
3) They are very quick to respond to questions people have about their products.
