put some glossy tire gel on your tires and your car would look even cleaner =) I think its a world of a difference.

nice job, your car looks great!

Is that Zaino Brothers stuff a 1 stage deal, or is it like the Meguiar's 3 setp process?

Looks great!

Definitely! It's sadly ironic that the color that usually looks the best when it's clean is also incredibly hard to keep clean.

Zaino Bros. wax is a process that gegins with a precleaner, a first coat of wax and then the next day going over it with a glosser wax. It takes time but anything worth doing takes time. It makes the car look awesome afterwards and it also seems to last longer than any other wax I have tried.

Zaino is a polish system. No waxes.

First, do once only, wash car with dawn to remove wax (down to clearcoat).

Then apply 1 of 2 polishes, either the high gloss, or the regular gloss that is also a scratch filler.

After it dries, remove, apply gloss enhancer spray and wipe dry.

After a day or so, add more coats of polish.

There is also a tire gloss, which I have been too lazy to apply.

Wash and remove polishes with only 100% cotten towels.

The big disadvantage is you must totally dry the car before applying the polish, or the water drops will show.

Zaino owns, after I bought my car I invested a lot of money feeling I wasn't getting the right look after a wash. It makes the car looks spotless for days. After 2 days of sitting in my dusty garage, I took it to a meet. 2-3 people commented on it being one of the cleanest MB's they have ever seen...
