Pretty good job there. If you really enjoy spending time taking care of the car you should definitelly get Zaino. It takes up a while but the end results are awesome. It also keeps the paint job protected from water marks and other dirt. Makes the following washes real easy too. I've been a fan ever since I got the starter kit. Been Zaino'ing all the cars we own

Well applying Zaino on a brand new car is the first thing I'm doing once the new ride comes. It helps protect the coat for a long time. I applied Zaino on a 2 year old coat and the results were

Where do you buy Zaino products? I really don't want to have to go into my local Autozone unless I have to, it's not in the best area of town. However, I'd rather go into a store than to buy it on the net.
