There's a car wash near my work that offers what they call the VIP hand wash. They wash by hand and also use high pressure air hoses to blow out water from all the cracks and wipe them down. I use to use them about once every 2-3 weeks and in between, I'd use the California duster on my car every morning and also use detailing spray every few days to keep the car spotless.

However, I just got the Ultimate Protection Show Car Care Kit from Zaino and spent 10 hours this past weekend detailing my car. They have their own washing solution and detailing spray so I guess I'll be washing my own car from now on. I used the Z5 swirl remover polish and then added a coat of the Z2 polish........no more swirls. The shine is stunning!!! Another happy Zaino user.

Is this the same place where I got my car washed prior to the Bay Area Meet?

However, I just got the Ultimate Protection Show Car Care Kit from Zaino and spent 10 hours this past weekend detailing my car.

So does this mean you will be spending 8 hours every weekend to clean your car? Go back to the car wash.

Yep, that's the one. What did you think of them?

Maybe I'll just go to the car wash and ask them to use the zaino washing liquid... haha I'm actually thinking of putting another 2 coats of polish on this weekend. Put as much protection on it as I can before the rain season starts.

I guess they did an "OK" job. Then again I'm biased b/c the place I take mine to in Hollywood does a fantastic job. They know me well and always put their best guy to take care of my ride. They're always asking for more time, which of course I oblige and kill my time walking Hollywood Blvd. By far, it's the BEST car wash I've been to in Socal.

Maybe I'll just go to the car wash and ask them to use the zaino washing liquid... haha I'm actually thinking of putting another 2 coats of polish on this weekend. Put as much protection on it as I can before the rain season starts.
Haha... Another weekend spent detailing the car...
