that sounds about right but I advise you purchase the car soap and mitts at walmart or a local auto store; they are cheaper than online. And if you're buying from detailedimage, there is a discount for being a forum member

As for which is better, I've never seen the CG stuff live. I like the Zaino results and it's quite easy to put on and use. The durability is excellent and the beading is superb. The water droplet pattern of runoff on my car is unchanging and symmetrical. If I keep the detail spray on it prior to rainstorms the evaporation dirt will be minimal. On my Interlagos Blue I have 2 layers of Z-2 and one of Z-CS currently. When I detail again (6 months after the first detail, sealants 4tw) I will do one Z-5, one Z-2 and one Z-CS after clay and likely a mild polish. As for polish, the ZPC polish is mild and effective on small stuff, light swirls, etc. Serious swirls and marring (like on my old carbon black E46) required the Menzerna IP.

I just re-read your list carefully; I bet you will be purchasing more MF towels after your first detail.

I actually don't have one, but that seemed to be the bulk of his costs. I may invest in one though because my beater needs a polish badly.
