HAHAH Actually usually never, I was driving through the desert like 2 hours before that in the Palm Springs area and stopped at a gas station, had my sunroof open and a dust devil went through. The whole car was covered in shit. One of the great things about the CA/AZ desert.

I had to go down to PS a couple of weeks ago, I took the Ranger 'cause I didn't wanna deal with that mess all over my CLS ... you can really "bust it" on some of those roads though.

Damn...It just hit me... you head over there to golf !! I'm kinna slow sometimes.

Guess i will have to take pics of my car's temp which was 102 yesterday in Fort Lauderdale. Not to mention the car is black so it was nice watching the water from the hose steam off the car as i washed it.

Not a good idea for a Black car buddy. I live in Sacramento CA and we will soon be getting those hot days. I'd recommend washing in the early am (almost never happens) or in the pre evening hours... at least try to get shade over the car first! Just looking out...

You're not washing your car in direct sunlight, are you?

nate'sCLS: Our post times were probably just seconds off! Great minds think alike apparently.


|optional|
After you wash it though of course, you have to add a coat of Zaino I wash it every weekend in the early morning right when the sky turns blue, then follow that wash up with a coat of Z2. I'm on 3 now - going on 4 next time!

Can't wait!

Personally, I think Zaino is fitted for any color. I haven't paid much attention to how many on here use it on their blacks, but it seems that everyone that does use it is quite pleased with its outcome.

I certainly am very pleased with the overall look of the car now with the Zaino and would recommend it to anyone.

I personally feel that Zaino is the way to go, just because of the polish, protection, and shine it brings to our cars. But again, I'm not one of the Zaino experts, but I'm sure they'll tell you that Zaino is probably the best product out there for any color, even black.

Hopefully someone maybe can give a more substantiated repsonse , since I'm just speaking from personal preference with little experience with any other waxes/polishes.

But Zaino is definitely a nice item to have!

I appreciate your opinion and will have to give their product a shot someday soon.

Thank you Kevin.

You're quite welcome!

In fact, some of the members of this board are Zaino distributors and can undoubtedly help you out with any questions regarding Zaino. (Just everyone's sleeping now...2am here - guess it's still kind of early over in California)

www.zainobros.com also has lots of information on application, the products, the whole nine...

Good luck! You'll enjoy it!

No definetly not washing the car in sunlight but when i get in to start it up to move it that car is burning hot. Those hose is not far away so as soon as it gets wet its still steaming off of it Though i will let u know how the Zaino comes out since i just ordered $100 worth of it and am dying to see the difference compared to my carnuba wax.
