Dances with Zaino
Thanks to an old friend's recommendation, a great birthday gift from my wife, and a 3-day weekend - I did the Zaino thing. Photos below.
It's pretty amazing stuff, although I'll still need to have the front/hood painted - lots of rock chips over the last 4 years.
With 2 washes, clay bar, 2 polish coats (Z5), 4 detail coats (Z6) and 1 finish coat (Z2) - the whole process took about six hours. The ZFX accelerator is worth it - dries in 20 minutes instead of 8 hours.
Luckily the full regimen is a 2x/year thing - it's a big time investment.
These are unretouched photos. Enjoy!

I haven't washed my car in 2 weeks.... it's been raining pretty much non-stop :(
That last set of pictures I took was like a really quick deal so I won't count that as a "real wash"
