I have no problems with swirl marks, and here is why. Every spring I buy 1-yard of pure white, non-pilling polar fleece for car wash cloths. I will use a wash cloth no more than twice to wash the car. After the first use the wash cloth goes into the laundry and gets marked with a sharpie so I know it has been used once. After the second car washing it is again laundeded and marked, and then it has officially been transformed from wash cloth to rag.

I use Z5 to remove any little scratches and I Zaino with Z2 and Z6 and Z8 at least 4-times per year.

And of course I have never used a cloth to dry my car, as I hhave a dedicated leaf blower for that job.

Yes Jeff, when it comes to detailing, I can compete witht he best of them.

In this BMW Concours d'Elegance I took the highest award for a Non-BMW, even beating out the sexy English lass next to me.

With the AP1 you have to turn the brightness back up each time the lights go on and off.
A total PITA!!! I have what I call DAL's as in Driver Activated Lights, I always drive with my lights on, and it is such a pain to bring up the dash lights everytime I start the car....

Here is the rest of the etiquette. The last thing I need on my time off is two pages of rules about how to drive in a row with other cars

[QUOTE]
Ok I had this list awhile back when the Nes2ko site was being rebuilt by Chip and Rick. Enjoy there are some good ones.

1. Obey all traffic signals.
2. Do not mix alcohol or drugs with driving at anytime

One thing on the car I never thought to fiddle with

That's cool Mike thanks! Can't wait to try it!

I like the lights really low at night but I do very little night driving with the S so having it stay bright will be perfect!

There are better products out there nowadays, but I have too many Zaino supplies, and too many layers to even think about using something else at this point.

The Titan and the CRX-SiR both use Meguiar's NXT, a product line I'm very plased with.

I followed Steves prodding and put a coat of NXT 2.0 on my S yesterday. I am pleased with the look afterward and it was easy. Now we will see hoe it holds up.
