Default Detailed My Car - Now What?

Please tell me I'm not the only one here that doesn't like to go drive their car right after you get done detailing it? I just did the Meguires 3 step process on my 07 PPW, and it looks so good, that I don't want to get it dirty!!!!!

I take so much pleasure in knowing that one of the most beautiful cars on the planet sits nicely tucked away in the garage, spotless

On a side note, this place has really picked up! Must be the end of winter

I plan on being 'bad' too when my z arrives in T-minus 19 Days. I told the dealership not to touch it inside or out so I can get the exterior protected asap with no lackie swirl marks from their year-old chaimox.

Question: What's better? Meguires or Zaino. Need to order soon and want some opinions.

Thanks

Got 4 coats of zaino on so far . Daily driver though, so I expect it to get dirty. Just gives me more excuse to spend time with the car on weekends .

Don't take the car out of the garage. What if something terrible happens like you get dust on it!

When you go to the public bathroom, do you pick the dirty toilets or the clean ones? I guess birds aren't stupid.

I'm not for sure, but I would say about 1 1/2 hours. All 3 steps prolly weren't necessary because the car is so new, plus it's a PPW, so there's not much luster to be brought out. Still looks good though. Might go take some pics in a few.
