Zaino durability update 6/1/04 3.5 months on the car...

Hey guys, some of you may have caught my thread form about a month ago showing off the durability of zaino's shine over 2.5 months.

here is that thread if you guys need a flashback.

Its been a little over a month later and I went out and hosed my car down and wiped my rims down with a rag. I used no wheel cleaners, just wiped them down with a rag.

My rims I zainoed in mid January. I yet to use a wheel cleaner chemical on them since.

As for my car, I did a full zaino treatment on Valentine's day weekend 2004. I have washed the car twice in that time, using Z7. Other then that I have not washed with soap, used any sort of Zaino, or any other chemical other then water.

I do hose the car down occasionally, mainly to get the dust off. I tired a california duster, but my car is 100% outside and I think the humid florida weatehr makes it work like crap. When I hose it down I do not dry it, I cruise down the road and "air dry" it.

Either way pics I took today...
June 1st, 2004. Car was last zainoed Feb 14th, 2004, 3.5 months ago.

Notice the truck AC repair truck being reflected off above the rear wheels. You can also see my grill and tires are hurting for a palstic/rubber treatment.

Nice report!

Great point about the wheels... it goes unmentioned a lot of the time, but Zainoing the wheels makes brake dust removal a snap!
