    New way to clean clay

    It seems obvious to me. I dropped my clay bar in the dirt today, better throw it away. Right? NO! Don't do that, clean it. Here's what I did- Turn your tap water on as hot as it will go (hot enough to where you cant touch it) Find a glass mug or somthing and put it under the running faucet...

    I was looking on eBay a minute ago when I ran across a complete pinnacle detailing package.

Say he is true... does it sound...

    QD vs. washing?

    I dont know why... but I feel quite un professional when I arrive at the clients home and ask for their hose, and create puddles in their street and driveway (due to washing).

    Whats your opinion on the BEST wax/sealant?

    Been looking around at different waxes online. I cant choose btwn. Zanio, Souveran, or P21S. Opinions on all three would be greatly appreciated. Longevity is not a key factor. Im looking mainly for initial protection and most importantly... SHINE. Thanks in advance. :)
