Another Hello from NC
Hi! I was a member here years ago but lost the link in a hard drive crash and just found the forum again. An '04 Toyota Tundra lives here along with an '06 Scion Tc ('06 limited edition in Blue Blitz) and an '09 Challenger R/T just claimed the garage for it's own  . Which is what brings me back here looking to catch up on the latest and greatest methods for keeping the orange blitz looking as sweet as possible.
The truck is in need of some TLC, my husband runs it through the automated car wash  so it's going to be my guinea pig.  Then I'll move on to the Tc which is in better shape since it has only been hand washed by me and only has 15 K miles but could use a really good clean up, clay, polish, wax etc. When that's done then I'll take care of the Challenger so I have a lot of work ahead of me.
I'm thinking Zainos. Is it still right there at the top of the list for quality products? I have a ton of reading to do here and any advice on specific threads will be very much appreciated. |

Re: Another Hello from NC
Welcome
Look into a machine if you do not have one (PC/Flex/G110/etc).
As far as Zaino, its a top product among many other top products. Once you have a clean and prepped surface (tar remover, clay, AIO'd, polished), just pick a wax or sealant and apply it every couple months.
Zaino AIO is hard to beat, protect with FK 1000P.
