Default OK...I'm a convert...Zaino!

I have tried almost every top brand of waxes...P21S, Rejex, NXT, Meguiars, FK1, etc. I just did the full Zaino "thing" (inspired ny Virtigo). I am amazed. The depth of shine...awesome. I went for a ride and got bugs all over the front..they just wiped off. I am a true Zaino convert! Granted it took a fair amount of time ( let me know if you want my process). Here are some pics...better resolution on my link.

Nice job.
I really like the Zaino stuff too. I occasinally try something else but always regret it and come back to the zaino. Once on it's really quite easy to maintain.

You should wax the clear bra, but only by hand...no PC. What were you thinkng BTW, those clear bras look like h*ll on paint IMO.

My clear shield is almost invisable. From 3 feet you cant even see it. Its saved me a few times already. Honestly I would have a car like this without it...
