Default How Often Do You Wash/Wax Your Z ?

And what wax do you use?

I’ve had my Z for not even a week and i have already washed and waxed it TWICE! My biggest pet peeve is a dirty car. Since my car is black it gets dirty QUICK! lol. AM i the only one that slaves over there car 2-3 times to keep there baby clean?

BTW i use Maguire’s Gold Class.

I use only Zaino with micro fiber towels

You might think this is queer or something but...

I use long rubber gloves to wash my car when it's cold out (below 50) You don't feel the cold water on your hands and they don't get that numb chapped feeling.

Of course I take them off to Zaino and to dry it

i didn't use flash or anything...i was just standing by my car and noticed how shiny it looked with the light reflecting off it, so i just started snapping shots, i tried with the flash but didn't get the same effect...

I used Maquire's until discovering Zaino. Used 100% Cotton towels recommended by Zaino until I discovered www.dftowel.com

Made the switch to Zaino products in August 2003. Went at it hard and heavy for the month or so. Washing and polishing daily. See results below

Wash/Wax my Z once a month. It's Chrome Silver so it looks clean most of the time.

I wash her every weekend unless nature prevents me from doing so.

I apply Zaino whenever I feel like fooling with it - usually twice a month MINIMUM.

here's a pic for the hell of it
