You are the one that needs to get back when you have finally done something that wasn't sprung off the coattails of someone else.

And as for my remarks directed at ZPhile and lilquazyvietboi - these two characters are the kinds of folks that repeat what they hear or read and drop names and that is why they are under the mistaken impression they know what they are talking about. I have been detailing cars for over 30 years and I just so happen to test many new upcoming products before these two despotic saps or anyone else even sees them placed on the market shelf for sale. And lilquaz...you think because you drop the names Zymol and Zaino into the conversation then that makes you an expert. I am willing to bet you don't even have a clue as to the one ingredient that when independently added allows Zymol to reach its full potential gloss. As a matter of fact this key added ingredient is usually required to be present with just about any car paint surface protectant whether it be a polymer type or wax product to allow the products to reach max gloss potential. And I am willing to wager that 99% of the folks who use the products don't add this to the application mix because they don't know about it.
And BTW tweedle-dumb (ZPhile) and tweedle-dumber (lilquaz) as an FYI - Zymol and Zaino are really not the top products as they are made out to be by all the hype that gets drummed up by a couple of BMOC's such as yoursleves. I can show you a product that isn't even out on the public market and is sold by "invitation to buy" onlythat puts everything presently on the market to shame. And the only thing I am going to say about this stuff is that it is made of about 20 exotic emuliants, can be applied in sun, in sub-zero to above 100 degree weather, adds depth to the shine and deepens the color of the car now matter what the color of the car and is one of the best kept secrets since the late 60's. And fortunately because you two are BMOC schmucks that are the walking talking rectum punchlines of humanity you will never get the knod for an invite to purchase this stuff. So read it and weep buttheads as you come to the realization you don't know jack-**** about anything concerning car surface care. So <= kiss it cause you two jokers earned it when you opened your mouths to change feet.

My project's software is the FIRST to succeed in 30 years. Our EW software is already on the U.S.S. Ramage (DDG Destroyer) and will soon be on many more. Our sailors are already raving about our huge upgrade from their legacy system. If the legacy system was an old atari system then consider our upgraded software Play Station 3.
If you think your generation was the only one to help our nation you're sadly mistaken.

For the one hundred and ninety-ninth time ITS NOT THE SCRATCHES YOU HAVE TO WORRY ABOUT.
As durable as our soft tops are highly pressured water is NOT good for them, it will eventually get damaged.

If you use touch free car washes you'll be fine. But you'd better have a good shine to start and only use the wash for maintenance of the glow. you will be left with a residue which easilly comes off with griot's speed shine. Then if you apply sonus glaze you will have a deep beautiful shine on top and you can add multiple coats as often as you like as long as the surface is clean..I know what I'm talking about as I have a jet black finish and every shine enhancing product under the sun.

Given ive replaced the top of my Z twice under warranty, I'm even carefull with the garden hose.
FYI - I did some consulting work with a national gas retailer a few years ago. Their car wash strategy is offer both touch and touchless options at each site going forward.
The reason is people like the image of touchless washes, but the reality is soft cloth washes are easier on your car (and there is a large customer base that supports this).
Touchless car washes compensate for the lack of 'touching' by using higher pressure and more aggressive solvents.
