Correct! I thought the Zeppelin hanger would give it away.

Which Zaino products and process do you use to get white to shine like that? What are the steps?

You're now the Wolfdog poster child! Congrats!

It's a low maintenance color.

Try this!

Minimum once a year:
--------------------------
-Wash with Blue Dawn
-Dry with squeegee/towel dry to minimize water spots
-Clay bar with Dawn squirt bottle
-Wash with Z-7 Car wash
-Dry with squeegee/towel
-Apply and remove Z-2

A few times a year:
-----------------------
-Wash with Z-7 Car wash
-Dry with squeegee/towel
-Apply and remove Z-2


Tires: Turtle wax F21 Tire Foam & Shine - tires look clean, no wet/vaseline look.

Rag top: Just water - I found that any kind of soap dulls the fabric over time.

That's exactly what I have been doing except I have been using the Z-5 and then doing the Z-2 last but I do not use the Dawn once a year only did it as an initial application same thing goes with the clay bar only did it at initial Zaino application.

Didn't have time to go up to the hills or the beach so I thought I would stay local.

My favorite of the day:


























I like the front grill. Where can I get one?

One of the funniest things I've seen on this forum, other than someone getting mad about negative opinions when they ask, "what do you think"

Some may say it is shameless :o to repost an old photo shoot but after I came accross it today, I could not believe what a nice collection of shots this post was. Just had to introduce it to the new folks.

And God Bless LS - he is one patient guy.

I think (it has been a while) I got from Southern Car Parts - a forum vendor. One of my favorite cosmetic mods for sure.
