Default Lost my Zaino virginty!

Yup, that's right, took the plunge this morning in anticipation of Fallingwater.

Washed the TT with dishwash detergent, applied Z1, and currenty have Z5 drying on the car.

Man, is it hard to see the Z1 on the TT, especially Lake Silver.

And, current temp in Toronto is 5 degrees (41 degrees F), so drying won't be zippity quick.

Don't actually know why I am doing this, Toronto is forecast for rain Friday morning as I leave for Somerset, and I bet every stone and bug between Toronto and Somerset will find my car. Stones and bugs should be illegal.

But your car will be protected! That's why you are doing it.

Default Depends on Your Weather

As mine is very cold, it will take longer:

- 2 hours to wash car with Dawn and then dry(had to warm hands often!);
- 30 minutes to apply Z1;
- Waited 1 hour for Z1 to haze(not that I can see Z1 on my TT!);
- 30 minutes to apply Z5;
- Am giving Z5 minimum 3 hours to dry, will test then;
- Figure 1 hour to remove Z5;
- 1 hour to apply Z6;

I'll then wait overnight, and tomorrow:
- Apply Z2 (1 hour);
- Wait 3 hours to remove Z2;
- Remove Z2 (1 hour);
- Apply Z6 (1 hour);
