Oh man..i love S65 wheels on a E55. I've been loking for a set but nothing is available. I was thinking about stealing them off my fathers S65 but I think he'll notice them missing.

Beautiful car you have there....

Zaino is sweet. Honestly, I'm not thrilled with Maguiers anything now... nor turtle wax, even though Consumer Reports just picked them very high.

I do this in the following order twice a year:

- Griots Garage Paint Cleaning Clay with Speed Shine
- Zymol HD Cleanse to really get it clean on top of that, and strip the previous wax treatment.
- Zymol Concourse wax (the 80% white 20% yellow blend). $$$ but the jar lasts FOREVER because you need so little of it.
- Rejex on top of that for 1/2 hour, then let it bond for 8 hours.

Bingo, really crazy shine and bird poop and junk just slides off... in fact, I don't ever have to use a brush or towel or sponge while washing my car... just water. Usually lasts about 6 months, so I do it December and June.

I'm doing it next weekend... its a solid 10 hours or so which I usually spread over the weekend between Concourse and Rejex...

I'll post picks... it is nutty how good it looks afterwards...

The NXT shines when it's new, but fades away pretty quickly.

I've used Menzerna on my previous car which was 040 black and it took out quite a lot of swirls and protected my car during open transport from Madison, WI to Boston.

Current car has not been waxed yet as of now. Will gladly try Zaino when the time comes in July.

Nice car with great rims. However, not a fan of the roof spoiler though, killed the continuity of the beast's line.

I agree. I'm looking to get rid of the roof spoiler and the decklid as well. I want to switch the decklid spoiler with a Renntech or Brabus one. They're much smaller and have sharper edges, too. Both of these are Lorinser.

I just used Meguiar's rub on wax, no buffer or anything needed. The wash and the wax took me a total of about 1 - 1.5 hours.
