I despise hard labor. I don't have callouses on my hands. I work a desk job. I have a back that gives me trouble if I so much as think about moving the wrong way. Washing and waxing my Z fell into the hard-labor, back-aching category.

Now: I think I'll do it every day.

Once a week I washed my car - Mothers gold car wash for the suds. Twice a month I waxed my car - Mothers gold carnuba wax. It took me 2 good hours to get it to look the way I wanted, so you can forget about me using any of the products that require hours to cure, coat, and re-coat.

In under 40 minutes, I washed and Crystal Guard Quick'ed my car today. It looks like glass, even with just one coat, and is noticeably better (even just 8 hours later) than any shine and finish I've gotten with 3M and Mothers waxes and polishes. It's so clear and reflective, I can use the hood as a mirror (if I were that vain, which I am, or wanted to see if I had anything in my teeth, which I don't).

I'll continue to report as I have the chance to add more layers and experience how it reacts to rain (here in South Florida, I should only have to wait a day or two for that). But for now, I'll be content with a Z that looks like glass.

Thanks for including me, Takao. I'll take the big bottle.
