    Shoe scuffs on kick panel.

    I'm going to pick up my Zaino stuff tomorrow, Z2, Z5, Z6, Z7 and ZFX. Now, I didn't initially want Z7 simply because I have the pinnacle car wash shampoo, but the people selling the Zaino told me it'd be *best* to use the Z7.. I told them OK it wasn't too expensive anyway.. but I was...
