"Ming" detailing a joke or great?
Looking at having my car detailed by the local Ming dealer? Does anyone do this anymore? Is it a joke. What is the best detail process if I want to spend minimal time detailing? Thanks.

Can't believe Ming still exists. Haven't heard that name since the early eighties and actually considered having it done to my RX-7 (new at the time). What ever you do don't do it. I don't think the new water based paints used today could handle the process.

I talked to detailers and body shops about this process and they said if you ever needed body/paint repairs it was impossible to blend/feather in paint and you had to repaint the entire section of the car. It was also tuff to remove any paint without major sanding.
The thought that softening the paint and not being able to do minor repairs turned me off.

If you want to do it yourself, minimal time, hit the car wash.
If you want to do it yourself but want a really nice looking car long-term, willing to expend some effort but want the most efficient way, go Zaino.
You can get as deep into Zaino as you want, just minimal Z5 or the whole kit, but any way you do it the polish goes on and off easier and lasts longer than anything I know.
Of course, then there is the Zaino addiction factor......
