I started using Zaino a few months back. Nothing seems to last as long. I understand the synthetics can handle the heat better. The Zaino looks almost like another layer of clearcoat. The brake dust seems to wash away much easier with a few layers of Zaino.

Clay, Synthetic Wax/Sealant, Soap and Water. Lay offa those wheel cleaners like Eagle One A2Z. They are nice a few times a year but they are pretty harsh. The synthetic barrier should be good for ~4 months. IMO.

This sounds weird but I found a old bottle of Turtle Wax with Teflon. I don't know where it came from or how old it is. It works though!

Corey, I wanna see that Mustang chick again too!

I third the Mustang chick and I used to just use the old water left over from my wash bucket and a pretty rough sponge...
