Detail product addiction

Okay, I don't know whether to thank you guys or hate you guys. I have learned a lot from you detailers on how to take care of my car. But I find myself buying new detailing products every week because I think there is always something better out there that I don't have. So far I have purchased the following:

Zaino AIO, Zaino Z5, Zaino Z2, Zaino Z8, Zaino leather cleaner, Zaino conditioner, Zaino Claybar
Klasse AIO, Klasse SG
CG Jetseal, CG Cream Glaze, CG Clay & Lube, CG Metal Cleaner, CG undercarriage spray, CG Spray & Wipe
Menzerna polish
Mothers Clay & Lube
Porter Cable & pads
303 Aerospace cleaner
Rejex
Poorboys Wheel sealant
Microfiber towels

I hate to think how much I spent on all this. Is this normal behavior? I need to stop buying stuff.

Sounds like the mod bug but more like detailing supplies... And yes you will always want the best products for your vehicle!

You'll see as you progress and begin finding the products you like and keep going back to, that your stash will get smaller and smaller with only the products you feel work best for you.
