Just ordered 21 items...

from detailed image lol. I will order more but I'm not decided if detailed image has the rest of the stuff I want or whether it carries the stuff I want. I'm thinking about getting some Zaino products and detailed image doesn't carry those. Also I need pads and towels and I still haven't researched internet prices. I ordered some waxes, polishes, sealants, glazes, pre wash, shampoo, degreaser, engine tire cleaners, interior cleaners, window cleaners from DI becuase the products don't vary much. Its mostly the sealant and wax and its mostly about the methods you implement. The other stuff is mostly the same in performance as well as price wise so I chose detailed image becuase they carried most of the stuff I wanted and jet seal was on discount today and the 10% coupon which dropped the price by about $45. I am a little disappointed though becuase I missed out on the $20.09 credit opportunity on a purchase of over $125. I could have split my order into three and gotten $60 credit. So Had I ordered a week ago I would have saved $105 off the $400 I spent. Oh well. I'm excited!!!!

edit:
I got the PC buffer along with many pads some towels and some more stuff. Im hoping to get some nice deals in the future ::wink:: ::wink::

Thank you very much for your order! It has shipped out today and you should see it shortly. You'll receive a FedEx tracking # as well to track it later today. We do not carry Zaino at this time but we do have a wide selection of pads, towels, etc. If you would like some recommendations to best achieve your detailing goals please let me know. I hope you enjoy the products!

Thanks for the reply on here and the quick shipment! I'll be here when it arrives and wow the package weighs 30 pounds. I think I will order pads along with the PC buffer in the $244 package deal.

You guys should offer free shipping on orders over a certain amount.

Every time I've ordered detailing products from Detailed Image, the customer service has been outstanding... thanks again, Greg. Now that I think of it, I should probably order some more stuff soon...

I got most of my stuff! Took about a week everything came. The 3rd package arrived before the second and the second package had frozen product The quick detail spray bottle is leaky but the product is frozen so I can still save it! Hopefully it still works the same way after the molecules warm up.

There was an extra silver weight just laying around in the corner of the box, I'm glad I double checked everything. The packaging was great! Thanks again!

I agree the discounting programs with some websites are just to complicated. Ina market where its very simple to go to any one of 4 main detail supply sites simplicity of pricing really makes it a done deal. When I placed my last order of $800 for a total re-stocking of Menzerna products, a Flex polisher, pads, and supplies I went with the site that had all the products with the lowest price. I placed 2 orders but I saved nearly $300 on the order (free shipping as well).

Zaino only is sold through Sal or though one of his distribution locations. In all honesty, after having been a zaino user I dont recommend it to anyone. Its quite nice for protection but looks very plastic like, cheap, and offers little depth. JetSeal has gotten some pretty nice reviews so I think you are set. I dont see anything in the Zaino line that would be better than what you purchased already. The only product they offer that makes me think twice is the Grand Finale Spray. Its a topping agent that offers great depth and clearity but its also 20 bucks a bottle and they refuse to sell it in larger batches. For me at least larger format sizing is key since I have 5 cars to clean. One bottle wont last me very long at all and over time its just pointless.
