Why do you put your wax in the fridge?

I just purchased a 4oz sample of Zymol Vintage.. Can't wait to get it..

I thought I was the only one who has stacks of pads. BTW have you tried the microfiber pads yet? I'm just starting to use them now and I really like them.

Keep my waxes at a constant temperature. (Well I keep mine in a wine cooler)

New to proper car washing and detailing. Hope I did okay with this kit.

CarCareKit by VictorN07, on Flickr

Decided to skip polishing because I don't have power tools.

Essentially they are the same with Opti-Guard only being available by signing paperwork. Its 50cc vs 20cc, and more difficult to use as it cures much faster.

hahaha, Mike's a show off! lol. j/k

I'm new to the forum, but joined based off of what I've read and seen on another detailing forum...that and my wife works for Scion. lol. I figured I'd help out the Quebec based members with their detailing needs while I wait to get my FR-S

I don't have pics of my collection yet, but I guess it couldn't hurt to take some this afternoon.

So here's my stuff. Not the biggest, but I have everything I need to take care of pretty much everything a car could need.
