Again I return after a quick clean up of the beater. :D



Here was the detail back in August.



This car gets parked at the airport 45 or so hours a week.



It warmed up here in the Atl today and I have not done a hose wash in a while. I usually QEW in the garage.



Six hours of being parked under a tree yesterday.... :bolt

Thanks guys!



She's got about 177k on her now. Going to change out the CV axles and steering arms soon, then the timing belt and water pump in a few months.

Do you think with 2 coats of Nufinish I could go 2 years? :bigups

Definitely! :D



Make sure you smear some on that trim. It'd be awful if your trim wasnt protected.
 
That sure is one shiny beater :)



While I'm not that much into Zaino's products, wouldn't the Z8 add to the layer of protection? So when using that after washing you could pretty much go on forever?



Not that there's any thing wrong with that, it's a great way to keep the car well protected. On my car I am now in the third month after a NXT application, and it's still looking good. I'm pretty sure though that it's not due to the NXT's durability, rather the OCW refresher I gave it a few weeks ago ;)

Thanks!



I don't know if I could go on forever, but I know from the old Z2 version (w/out ZFX) I got

5-6 months on a 94 540 that I used to drive to work.



I am pretty sure that Z2 on its own might just outlast NXT on its own. :faint:

*evil jealously eye*

The car was a 1 owner here in GA when I bought it at 161k or so in Oct. of last year.
