Just polished pics
I finished detailing my car today with Zaino Z1, Z2, and Z5 after using a clay bar and thought I'd take some pics over at the Porsche N.A. headquarters down the street from me. I've attached two of those pics as well as another pic to show the paint better in the sunlight. Black is a p.i.ta. to maintain, but looks so good.

Nice!

I use automagic clay and klasse all in one with a coat of Nu-Finish wax. Lasts a long time even after a Dawn dishwash cleaning.

Great job Battery!...!!! Can't really tell in the first two pics, but the one in the sun is excellent! Very nice car!!! Black sure is a pain to clean, which is why I would never ever buy a black car...especially after getting stuck washing my parents 4+ black cars for years. I've had enough!!! Keep up the great detailing!!!

Looks Good, nice job,

Lasts a long time even after a Dawn dishwash cleaning.
Why do you use Dawn?"

yea, they're not the best pics...I posted them more or less to show crappily composed pics (except for the one in direct light) and not as closeups to show how Zaino really shines because that really can't be captured by camera (at least not mine).

Yes, why would you use Dawn after putting wax on your car? Dawn dishwashing soap can be used as a pre-cleaner because it has the ability to strip off the wax on the car (Zaino for instance recommends using Dawn to do this). For this reason, Dawn should NEVER be your regular car wash soap. You should invest in a decent soap made to wash cars. They are strong enough to remove dirt and grime, but gentle on the finish. And while your at it, ditch the Nu-Finish as well. :p
