    1) Favorite Wax is Souveran
    2) I use less effective products that I buy from a supply truck and better go-to products from another detailer.
    3)Since most of the products I use don`t have a name that I know of I could not say exactly. But, I like Souveran, 3M Polish, clay magic, and Intensive Polish.
    4) Mothers
    5) 1966 Olds Cutlass
    6) Yes, Yes/yes
    7) No, I have never heard anything good about them or being better than what I am using right now. Mostly Collinite Insulator and Souveran.
    8) $2500
    9) Mainly, yes. But, I consider it a part time job during the summer season.
    10) Intensive Polish, and the sh*t (it is a glaze) in it`s pure form.

    Re: Detailing survey, 10 questions

    1)What is your favorite wax?
    S100. Favorite sealant is UPP.

    2)Where do you usually shop for detailing products?
    PAC, local Harley dealer, Meguiar`s on-line.

    3)If you can only use 5 products to detail a car, what would they be? (towels and stuff dont count)
    Meguiar`s Gold Class car wash, Meguiar`s APC+, Klasse AIO, 4 Star UPP, my home brew glass cleaner. Make it 6 and I would add Meguiar`s #9, make it 7 and I would add 303.

    4)What brand do you like more, Mothers or Meguiars?
    Meguiar`s, but that is probably because I have not used Mothers.

    5)What was the last car you detailed?
    1981 Red, (what else?), Corvette

    6)do you use a power buffer, orbital buffer/polisher?
    Porter Cable orbital buffer/polisher

    7)Have you ever used zymols premium waxes?
    No

    8)How much money have you spent on detailing supplies since the beginning of this year?
    $150 to $200

    9)Do you detail for cash on the side?
    No

    10) If you can only have 2 products, what would they be?
    My Master Card and a computer connected to the internet.
    Only 2 products wouldn`t do too much for me. Meg`s car wash and Meg`s NXT would probably be second choice. The NXT would cover up all the things I couldn`t take care of because of limited product selection.

    Heartsrundry,

    Hey man you start a poll and then answer your own ??`s with stuff like,

    " A good Wash/wax"
    "A good carnuaba, and some quick detailer"

    Too funny, be specific, or was your poll just looking to get product catagories

    1) What good wash/wax do you like to use
    2) What good Carnauba do you like to use
    3) What quick detailer do you like to use
