Since its too cold to wash my car myself

I have been taking it to a touchless car wash near me. They offer like Blue Seal or something polish and protectant. Is that stuff okay to use since I am not waxing my car when its 15 degrees out?

Touchless is fine, but I wouldn't put any of those car wash protectants on my finish. If you have a garage and you can tolerate the cold, you can wax/polish yourself.

That's what I'm planning on doing this Friday. 40+ degress here in the midwest.

Yeah, those chemicals are brutal on the Zaino.

Scooter, I would say in your case that you have 50 washes
in the touchless B4 your down below the Zaino line.

most of them use Blue Corral soaps. Theyve got the market locked.


The shit is no harder on Zaino then any other soap.

Zaino is pretty resistent to soap and shit.


Its wax you have to worry about.


Dish soap WONT STRIP ZAINO. But it will wax.

Well in that case, I think I'll stick with the touchless wash, and wax when I get home in my garage. It's pretty damn cold though
