Sweet...what did you use to dress your tires? Did it rain that day or did the sprinkler system in your subdivision go off and trickle all over the road? It seems that always happens to me when I get the car just right? And yes...I do stop and turn around and find another way to my house when I see that the road has puddles when the sprinkler systems turn on...lol!!!!

I use Klasse All-in-One followed by Pinnacle carnauba wax. Both products are easy on and easy off and give great results.
Intermittantly I also use 1Z Glanz wax which is a petroleum based product which goes on and off super easy and allows me to wax between my quarterly Klasse/Pinnacle application in about 20 minutes.
As for the tire dressing, I just use regular Armor-all, but I let the first coat dry then apply it again.
Never tried Zaino because I'm so happy with my results.
Keeping a black car clean has never been easier.

Meguiar's nxt - great solution
Big thumbs up, but speaking as a former Zaino user (6+ years), Meguiar's nxt Tech Wax (actually a similar forumulation to Zaino) gives incredible results at a fraction of the price.

Has anyone used that Mr. Clean no dry car wash? I'm hesitant to touch anything with Mr. Clean on it, but drying a car is very often one of the hardest parts about washing it, especially on black. Anyone have any feedback?

I also use their car wash, great stuff too.

Also...what sealer are you talking about?
My brother is a Vette freak and swears by Zaino?!
Thanks!

I too am a NXT convert from the Gold Class line of products from Meguiars. Great stuff, it really can not be beat. Save yourself the money and go with NXT. NXT is very very easy to apply on a black car and it will leave it shining for a long time.

I tried the NXT on my 4-runner and it lasted for a very very short time.
I finally tried the Zaino method this weekend and wow, incredible results. Very easy to apply and the car looks amazing. I'm going to go for a few more coats this weekend, and then I'm going to add the Carnuba Wax as a final touch just like our friend here...
