Default Finally! Wash and Zaino CS!

It's a balmy 76 degrees here this morning. I've been waiting for some clear and cooler weather to wash and dry my Corvette and apply the Zaino CS I purchased earlier this summer.

Just a few weeks ago it was in the high 90s and the heat index was over a 100 and I had no desire to cook my brain trying to clean up my Vette.

So now she's drying and curing AND I've sprayed a liberal amount of dog and cat repellent around her too. Damn neighborhood white haired cat has taken to sleeping on my black top and although tempting, a bazooka seemed a little extreme.

I'll let you know what I think of the CS after a couple days.

Does "white haired cat" work better then microfiber?

it's only extreme if you accidentally scratch Carmine during the shot...otherwise, just sounds like giving 110% to curing the problem!

(or would that be more like 1,110%?...I never was good with numbers)

...which was the only deterrent to using one.

Jane as Gregory said, we are waiting with (sic) bated breath on the outcome of the Zaino. I know in advance that you will be pleased. About the bazooka, it is not really a weapon of choice for discouraging white cats or any other cats for that matter (you have to give the cat Kudos though for picking a great napping place). Actually a bazooka originally was not a weapon, but a musical instrument invented by Bob Burns (old time radio - Kraft Music Hall, etc) that he played on his shows. When the military received the weapon, they named it "bazooka", as it resembled the Bob Burns instrument. Just a little trivia for you.

I'm impressed!!

The CS went on with the ease of application promised by Zaino. I applied a thin coat and I noticed it had almost a rainbow effect sheen to it. Left it alone for several hours until I went out to get in the car about 5 PM.

Looks great!! Hard to believe she looks that good after wash, dry and maybe 10 or 15 minutes to apply the CS.

I recommend it!!

I knew you would approve. I love Zaino. The neat thing is that you can apply the next coat before it snows and it will even shine more. Oh I forgot, you don't get snow like I do or LT4man gets. There are advantages of living in the deep south.
