I don't have a picture but I can second the Zymol. It is great stuff, more expensive than most but great stuff. They also have some great leather conditioner.

You guys are sick! Geez. Spending all that time to wax a truck? Yeah...I'm guilty too. Here's one from last Spring. FWIW, I only use Zaino products.



And one from a couple years ago...

hybrids...not really. I can say that all their products are top shelf, across the board.

As an example...the "wax" they offer is synthetic, no wax, no silicone, has a UV guard...since it has no wax they call it a "polish", but it's your final sealant. Z2 is $14.95. (That's what I use) It goes on very light...so an ounce will do an Excursion twice...honestly. And...in many tests, Zaino was found to last longer than any other product.

Just one other great product is their Grand Finale spray...it's like an instant detailer on steroids...great shine, slickness...I use this after each wash.

They also have started a one step cleaner-wax that is exceptional, as well as one product that is too good to be true. All you do is spray this on...smear it around with an applicator...and you're done. It's called Clear Seal and it give the Zaino shine and protection without the buffing.

I could go on and on...if anyone wants more info, etc...please PM me...I buy Zaino by the case.

Great pics boggerted! Yeah, I'm going to have to agree with Matt about the Zaino products, they work excellent! Just recently I fully detailed my 99 Jeep Wrangler with Zaino and damn the Jeep shines like it never had before and even right now, about 2 weeks since I washed it is still fairly clean.

I'm going to wait till the summer to do the Excursion so I can have plenty of time to do it since its going to take quite a while to clay bar and wax the beast.
