Default waxing technique

I tried something new today, I liked it so much that I am going to share it with you.

1. After washing your car, lightly spray your favorite "quick" liquid wax(I used Meguiars Quick Wax spray) directly onto the dripping wet painted surfaces after the final rinse.
Tip: Do it in the shade and a section at a time, the places that begin to dry just re-wet.

2. Then dry as normal with a chamois.

3. Finish by lightly buffing the painted surfaces with your finest "wax-off" towel. This will remove any remaining water spots, add some depth to the paint, and leave a great shine.

Everyone should develop a technique that works best for them. I personally wash and wax with Zaino, and dry with the Absorber.. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="gr_stretch.gif" />

1. Rinse
2. Wash(with Zaino Z7 of course <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="gr_stretch.gif" /> )
3. Dry with 100% cotton bath towel
4. Apply Z16 (Yet another great zaino product)
5. Apply Z2 or Z5 with cotton applicator
6. After waiting many hours, remove polish with a clean cotton towel
7. Perhaps another round of Z16
8. Sit back and enjoy your BEAUTY <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="gr_stretch.gif" />
