We haven't been having rains here and then we started our summer "monsoon" season. We get late afternoon t-storms and showers after the day heats up. Enough about the weather report.

When it rained and I had water spotting, I noticed that when I placed my finger and wiped at my ultraclean Zaino'd TTRQ on a waterspot that it would smear and create what appeared to be a "scratch" in the clearcoat. Well, spraying the car with pure water and wiping didn't do the trick. I had to use the Zaino car wash product on an otherwise clean car and then apply another Zaino treatment to get rid of the spotting.

I decided to risk cleaning the car and putting a coat of Zymol on the car. When it next rained, no problem.

So, my thought in the matter is thus: Zaino is great for prepping the car after one gets it from the dealer. Then, use some other product to maintain it, preferably ZYMOL.

BTW, the Zaino is a magnet for dust. Not so with Zymol.

Whatever works for you is the real gist of this posting. In my case, the unscientific results are in: Zymol for me.<p><a href="http://members.tripod.com/abqnmsteve/the_audi_tt.htm"><img src="http://members.aol.com/stevestt/myhomepage/SteveTNTT.jpg" border="0" alt="Check out my Audi web page"></a>

Cost is very reasonable and supposed to be high quality german wax product (similar to zymol) and is what my car was prepped with. Good wheel cleaner, wash, paint prep and glass wipes.<p><img src="http://www.goodmangraphic.com/images/ttmini3.jpg">

Welcome to the club, you've seen the light, and the beading!

You found the magic of non-silicone waxes. Silicone is highly charged, so it gets dusty in minutes. The color of the car allows you to see the dust more clearly.

The A6 test used the turtle wax-branded pseudo xymol.
