Well, initial 3 coats of Zaino are applied. Took me 6 hours today, but I did a full exterior detail. Looks sweet. Will have to take more pictures now.

It's amazing how dusty all the crevices in the engine compartment get in 2 weeks.

Even detailed the Huge AMG calipers. It's a shame they get as dusty as the wheels with all the brake dust.

I'm going to pass out now..
