Default Took Zanio to my car last night.

Last night I thought it was time to polish the car, I used Zaino Z2 Pro.
The first thing I did was wash the car, Yes you heard me right, I washed the car before polishing it. After washing it I dried it really well, Then I started with the Zaino Z2 Pro, I tell you this stuff is so easy to use, No hard rubbing, Just apply a very little to a pad and go to town, I do 1 panel at a time, Takes about 5 mins before you can remove the polish, I used a very soft microfiber towel to polish it up, I am amazed how easy the polish comes off and leaves a great shine, Very little work.
It took me maybe 1 hour to polish the whole car and I didn't even work up a sweat. lol
I think next time I will clay Bar the car first, It had been a couple of years since I took the bar to my car.
This was all done by hand.
Thanks for letting me rattle on, Now on to the pictures.
These pictures don't do it justice.
Sorry about the miss spelled Zaino in the title.
Mr.Bill

Nice shots Bill. The car looks great, but you've missed a spot.

It's over here in my garage, it appears to be a red spot.

Looks great Bill. Wish we had scenery like that down here. To frickin' hot to be doing anything like that here too. I would sweat and drip all over the car. Your car is looking great. I do the Zaino too.
