yes I left out the 'nt. I mean lets be honest I know where it is so if I walk up on it I can see the line. But if you don't know its there it's VERY tough to see. And even if you can barely see it what it saves in damage is well worth it.....

Peace...I'm not going to argue this one. My paint guy can fix chips in the paint for less as long as there is no bra. BTW I have those things on 4 of my other cars, so I'm not against them and I know what they can and can not do...just not on my P-car!

I've had a hard time finding the love for Zaino because of the long cure times at 70 degrees even with the accelerator. I felt I got equal results using 3M products and they are easier or I'm just used to them. I do think the Zaino lasts a little better.
Love the seats in your Turbo.

I was at Detailers Paradise and people seem to either swear by or at Zaino stuff. I'm in for round two.

No PC is a Porter Cable (machine) and it really helps to break-down the wax which makes the wax perform the way it is supposed to. Since you are local, if you want I can drop by and let you try mine. I'm off to the Avs game this afternoon, but am around all week. Drop me a PM if interested. I'd love to see your GT3 and Gallardo!
