    Finally, I got my Zaino on Friday and a very nice weather allowed me to put it on.

    I washed the car with blue Dawn and put the following on in order:

    1) Z-2 (Saturday)
    2) Z-6 (Saturday)
    3) Z-2 (Today)
    4) Z-6 (Today)
    5) Z-16 (Tire shine today)

    It took me a total of about 6 hours to complete it. I say it was well worth it.

    Looks great, but how did you get those decals depicting trees and grass to stick to the windshield as well as the paint? :blink:

    I guess because I took the pics in (from) the shadow. Let's see how long this holds out.

    I plan to put Zaino on one more time at the end of summer to protect the paint during the winter snow/salt.

    I just ordered straight from their website: http://www.zainostore.com/

    You don't have to go with Zaino as there are other Polymer sealant products such as Liquid Glass, Blackfire, Klasse, etc.. are available.

    A good source I found about waxing: http://www.fastlouis.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t=1839

    I updated more pics to my album after some editing :D

    Trevor, take the pics and post them :D I know it rained but I can't believe how the coating is keeping the water off. It still look shiny! It will be interesting to see when it dry up and see how much dirt get left over.

    BTW, I park in the street.

    Looks great!

    Zaino definitely gives the deepest shines hands down.

    You know it! I think Miles like to sneak off somewhere at night to roll in dust and pollen. But I think he's most handsome shiny bright.

    You should see a 1 to 2 mpg increase with the decreased wind resistance! :D
