What I'm still working through are the "best fit" products to use regarding total car care..from wheel cleaner/wax, to tire cleaner/dressing, to paint polish/wax, to interior care (including leather) and glass cleaners. It's a bit of a testing grounds right now, but eventually I'll have it dialed in!

Ah... it's an addiction once you get into it. I'm a fan of ALL quality products. It's sad, but I have close to 5k invested over the years

i LOL'ed at Griot's pitch comment.

weighted??? hmmmm I never weighed the stock vs the nismo knob. It feels very solid in the hand, and movement from gear to gear has a a nice firm feel to it. I don't know if it weighs more or lighter than the oem knob. If I were to venture a guess, maybe same if not less? Maybe someone else on here who has the knob can chime in?

Same here, I feel you on that... I always laugh every time I look at all the detailing supplies and then think about how many actually get used regularly. It is an expensive hobby since you spend so much trying new products just to find the ones that become your favorite haha.

I am leaving for Shanghai for 7 weeks so I took the Z out to get a haircut and am about to do a QD wipedown before covering her up with my Saab silk indoor car cover lol.

I buy QD by the gallon. I use about 3 gallons per season which isn't too bad.
