SEVEN.....yes, 7 Hours!
Alright, I was off yesterday and all of my zaino products arrived. Well after 7 hours of straight washing, polishing, and applying.... I have never used Zaino before and I am Very happy with the results!
I used the usual zaino wash and polishes, but I also did the window cleaner, leather conditioner, tire cleaner.... oh yea I almost for got the most important part... I clay bared the whole car.
This thing is like wet glass now... I love it!
Thanks Zaino!
P.S. I added new Piaa lights too.
Oh and I also got my windows tinted last week.

I mixed 1/3 cup of Zaino car wash with about 10oz of water. Put it in a spray bottle and keep it wet while using the bar. Do small sections at a time then dry with a nice towel.

Dude........Can you say "foreplay?" That's what it is for me, anyway. Once I am done waxing and massaging my C-5, I just walk around the garage and admire that beautiful naked shape glistening and looking all "wet"!!!!!!!
GGGRRRRRR!!!!!

Actually it was almost spotless when I started.
But I had to strip off the old wax, and clay bar the entire car. Then I put on 4 coats of Zaino.

I have 19"s in the front and 20"s in the back... as of right now I don't plan on lowering it. It does have the 4x4 look a little... but I don't think it is too bad.
