oh, make no mistake it is a sickness of mine. I applied it a lot just before a rain
storms just so I could go out in it and get nice perfect water beading. After even 1 wash it doesn't bead as well as a fresh application. Again it is a sickness...

This stuff?
"Zaino and my Z, I just wanted to say 'WOW' !!!"
I washed and clayed my car, then put on 4 coats of Z2 with the ZFX enhancer with shots of Z6 between each coat and my 06 Silver Alloy 350Z gleams. I swear it looks like is made of molten silver !!! Great Products !!! -

my b5 brings a smile to my face almost everytime i drive it.
Almost everyday, especially when i have a bad day at work, i drive home... pull in the driveway... lock the car... walk towards the front of the house and turn around, look at the b5, and get a giant sh*t-eating grin from ear to ear.
I dont know what it is about this car.
This has been going on for literally years.

The only time I hate it is when I have a problem,
Im a poor college kid and it really isnt a great car expense wise but I will never get rid of it cause I know I will love it no matter how much money and time I have to put into it. Once it is fixed, I know I will enjoy everything about it and it was totally worth every penny. I only hate the car about 2% of the time. : )

Clay, Menzerna 2step Polish process with both Intensive and Micro....
using Orbital and Random Orbital followed up with 2 layers of Full Molecular Jacket. I do this twice a year and usually only wash about once a month in summer and I just go and hot power wash her at a local DIY place in Winter. Menzerna is the *******. I used to use Adam's stuff and still do on occasion still do.
Some of the details I've done (one car you may recognize from the girls ET issue 2 months ago).

This past summer, few more dings and scratches from actually driving her 20k a year still, but paint is still in the same shape. The key combination of the right pads and polish, but

If not using cheaper stuff , I was given a container of Zymol Black
My friend in NC buys it by the case for his W12 Phaeton and has another color for his silver DB9. At $62 a container ,I'm only using it about twice a year when I do a good detailing/wash/wax. Otherwise I use Turtle Wax Emerald Series 100% carnauba paste wax, its discontinued now. I bought 14 cans 4 yrs ago at BIG LOTS. I've given away 4 and used 6 . It leaves NO white residue on dark paint and gives a high gloss. Sometimes for a quick cleanup/wax I use RainX Ultrawax creme,it used to be marketed as Blue Coral AutoFom on TV,same stuff new label.<ul><li><a href="http://www.autoanything.com/car-care/69A3066A0A0.aspx">Zymol Black ,its like gold $$$$$</a></li></ul>
