My back hurts.

So does everything else, for that matter.

I decided to take advantage of the nice weather yesterday afternoon and reach for the Zaino and plenty of Wayne's Towels.

Since I've been using Zaino exclusively and religiously for the past couple of years, I decided to skip the Dawn wash this year and begin the process with a Z7 wash, followed by a thorough clay bar treatment, with a capful of Z7 and lots of water mixed in a spray bottle, liberally applied (thank you, X5Jay ), followed by another Z7 wash.

Next…

Z2Pro (with Zfx) on, Z2Pro off

(Lightly spritzing the applicator with Z6 helps in applying the Z2Pro.)

Z6 on, Z6 off

Repeat the above process, three times.

Followed by…

Z8 on, Z8 off

For the rims...

Z2Pro on, Z2Pro off

Z6 on, Z6 off

Multiply by two.

And...

After I washed the wheel wells, I gave them a blast with Griot's Undercarriage Spray. I polished the Remus exhaust tips with Noxon #7 Metal Polish, dressed the tires with two coats of Z16 (good stuff, imo), and dressed the exterior trim with Griot's Vinyl & Rubber Dressing. I used Stoner's Invisible Glass on the windows.

The entire process took approximately eight hours.

Finally…

Ibuprofen, 200mg x 3; hot shower x 30 min.; watch Sopranos.

I had cleaned the interior a couple of weeks ago, using Spinneybeck on the leather, so, thankfully, that could wait. I only use Spinneybeck a couple of times per year; usually, I'll just wipe down the leather and interior trim with a damp towel, and vacuum.

My weekly exterior "quick detail" consists of a Z7 wash, followed by Z6, and topped by Z8. I'll add one or two more coats of Z2Pro approx. every four weeks.

Of course, it was extremely overcast today, so the pics leave much to be desired.

Thanks to X5Jay, IFlyX5, Rangerfan, Driver8, and all the other fine folks for their knowledge, assistance, and advice.

Euro clear headlights have been ordered.
