My Ride: 99 740il and 2008 GMC Denali 1500
It has now been 20 months since she has had a full correction. After a wash 4 weeks ago, I could see some light swirls in the brightest sun.
She was looking kind of nasty since I drove her home from work last w/e in the 5" of snow and ice. Sorry no before pics.
She shows just about 125k on the odo now, Chris and I replaced the front suspension a few months ago.
Even though I work my FT job on Fri-Sun nights, I made some time to give her some great protection over the last 2 days. The weather was mid 60s yesterday and today.
Lance foamed with Z7.
Rinse
Lance foam with Z7 again.
Washed via 2MB and sheepskin mitt.
Wheels cleaned with MWB.
Tires and wells got ARO.
ZAIO via white CCS pad G110 v2 speed 4.5.
Protection:
3x of ZFX'd Zaino Z5pro with a shot of Z8 in mix bottle yesterday.
Tires got Z-16.
Interior Vac.
Today:
Z6 wipedown
Zaino Clearseal
Finished w/ Z8.
I'm looking fwd to a solid 6 months of protection, maybe longer....

Thanks guys!
Have had a few thoughts about selling her in the past, but what else is there to buy that has this much rear leg room, comfort, handling and economy? 19/24MPG on a 4200lb luxury cruiser.

Oh goodie ... a new Zaino trick! So you put a squirt of Z-8 Grand Finale Spray Seal in with the Z-5 polish and ZFX flash cure additive? Shaken not stirred? What does this do for the sealing step?
Looks fantastic.
