I use Zaino Z-2 & Z-6 on the side and rear glass and my Chrome Wheels.
The Wheels look GREAT with the Z-Treatment !!!

I’m still not sure what to use on the front windshield.
I tried Rain-X, but I think I left it get too dry and it wouldn’t wipe clear.
I had to scrub the crap out of it with Windex to make it clear again.

Soopa and others told me to use Castrol “Super Clean Accuvision” on the front Glass, but I haven’t been able to pick any up yet to try it out.

Shawn S said that it is OK, so I do it!

I include the windows and rims in the full Zaino experience. It works great on the windows and OK on the rims (it may be that I'm just not patient enough to detail every nook and cranny on my rims).

I was driving home in the rain tonight and the water beaded everywhere (glass + paint). Cooooolllllll.

Don’t feel bad.
It takes me almost as long to apply & remove the Z-2 on my four Rims as it does to do the entire body of the car.
And my hands are usually killing me from trying to get into every nook & cranny with the towel wrapped around a finger.
Those suckers are PHOCKING BEAUTIFUL when they’re clean, but they’re a royal pain in the ass to keep them looking that way.
