George, thank you for my new stuff. I'm really impressed with the Clay Bar, Jet Seal and Blackfire Tire Gel. I would highly recommend it to everybody. Now i can't wait till you have a special on the porter cable or flex to complete my detailing needs. Thanks again.

The difference is their cutting ability and to a certain extent work time.

SIP and IP actually have about the same cutting ability. SIP offers longer work time, is easier to remove and dusts less. SIP also finishes down finer than IP would. Those are the main differences between the two.

Another alternative, which happens to be our Daily Special today, is to go with Menzerna PO203S Power Finish. The cut is very close to SIP, say if SIP was a 5.5 out of 10, Power Finish is about a 5, but Power Finish will finish down finer than SIP.
Considering the price of Power Finish today, I'd jump on that myself.

Unfortunately, I don't have an exact date when SIP is coming back in stock. We were told end of the month to early June. If you purchase SIP during the sale, your order will go on hold and will ship out once we get it in.

There's not much benefit of waxing sooner than once a month in terms of protection. Initially, some people will layer multiple coats after allowing 12 - 24 hours of cure time between coats, which can enhance the durability and gloss and depth. Most waxes last about 3 - 8 weeks, so waxing sooner than it runs out just ensures you are properly protecting your paint year round.
Sorry if I missed this question before.

Hi George,
I just brought my 2009 G37S 6MT last week. So, I went to Detailed Image to buy some great products from you. Some of the essential products are: Poorboys Slick N Suds, Clay Magic Fine Grade, Menzerna Finishing Touch Glaze, Menzerna FMJ. Please tell me how to properly use these products? My main concern is can you apply Glaze or Sealant on a wet car or does it has to be dried?
Here is my understanding so far:
1) wash with detergent
2) clay w/ Poorboy's detailer or soappy surface
3) wash with detergent
5) glaze with menzerna finishing touch glaze then wipe off with microfiber (Can the car be wet when I apply the glaze?)
6) one coat of menzerna FMJ then wipe off with microfiber
7) Rinse
8) Dry
