Default New detail first time posting phots

So I have had these photos in my album for a lil while but i take forever to do anything.

I used Zaino products, and I realy like them. I had some dried tree sap on my trunk one day and it just flaked right off when I washed it. I will try some other products later. It is an 07 and I purchased with only 1500 miles but the dealership had done a shit job of cleaning it. Not to mention i still have some slight water marks that I need to get rid of, even after claying it.

I also use lexol on the seats and lexol vinlyex on the top. The vinlyex gives a nice look but when you wash the car it leaves a oily looking streak on the car in some spots. It does not damge the paint but I think I will try rag top.

I also purchased some quality MF rags from detailers domain, i forgot exactly what type they were but they are blue with a darker blue outline and are textured differently on both sides. I also purchased the large yellow MF drying cloth, I used a water sprite before, and i will always ise a Mf for drying for now on.


Anyway....here you go.

I love that color. Nice work. Never let a dealership clean your car. Get some bumper plugs.

..haha..i have bumper plugs... For some reason the things the plugs go into fell into the bumper. I have just been to lazy to go get some good dbl sided tape and attach them. Thanks for the comments!!! i put some new rims on and will post some better pictures when I have the time.

I also put a coat of Z2 and Z5 on the rims before i put them on just for good times.


Badge request will b on its way...I go crazy if i cant at least wash my car and use zaino detail spray once a week...when i have the time i like to wax every week.

We should start meetings....kinda like AA but for car washing.

You're fighting an uphill battle getting us to "admit we've got a problem..."
