Since you are putting in all this work when it comes time to buff/wax mask off the plastics and tailights. It will save you a ton of time. Dont forget the interior especially the leather!! Use Lexol cleaner/conditioner. Ph balanced and will keep the leather pristine for years to come. I usuallly do my Seats once every couple of months and the steering wheel once a month.

I think it was like $85-95 shipped, don't recall the exact amount but a little goes a LONG way.

If you are only using Zaino, it will not leave a white residue and it is hands down the easiest to remove I've ever used. Just follow their instructions on the website and you can't go wrong!

White defiantly has its perks for sure. I like white a lot too, almost bought white.

Depends on what you get. I originally bought this Steve:

I've since had to buy some more wash and z6 spray but that's it. I will be having to buy the additional stuff. I like Zaino because their products are well priced and some of the best stuff you can buy. They do need to expand into paint correction stuff more rather than just paint maintenance.

Oh ya. I've done one round of buffing before, it definitely heavily pays off to mask off windows, plastics, etc. I also have Zaino's leather cleaner and conditioner, I love it. My seats get treated every 2 months.

Def do stering wheel as well. Shiny leather is dirty leather.

I did mine as well until I bought the Shelby boot.
