Hey fellas,
Don't want to be a newbie butinski, but after having a number of cars that required special attention, I can give you a good recipe that will make your baby look its best.
I am a HUGE advocate of the Zaino products. Best there is, hands down. I use the Z2, Z5, accelerant, spray detailer, and wash soap. If you invest in these products and use them as Mr. Zaino tells you to, you will not be disappointed. In fact, if you are, I will buy the remainder of your stock, no BS.
So, using the Zaino wash and an "egyptian cotton" (this is CRUCIAL to avoid marring) washcloth with the tag cut off, wash her up. FYI, Bed bath and Beyond has god prices on egyptian cotton cloths and towels (whihc is the ONLY thing I will dry my vehicles with, cloth wise). When finished, there is a product that I think is called the California water blade that looks like an opaque squeegee. It is soft as jelly and whisks away excess water very fast so that no spots form (which they shouldn't anyway if you are on the Zaino program) and absolutely no harm to the paint. Believe me, the first time I put the blade to one of my cars was nerve racking. But, it is so soft that it is harmless. Then, finish her off with a leaf blower. Crystal clear, deep shine. Heck, if you want to get real crazy, give her a dose of Zaino gloss enhancer spray. Makes it slick as owl sh*&.
This is the program that i have used for quite some time on some pretty nice cars and have never been disappointed.
Finally, I have no financial interest in Zaino Bros. stuff. It just rocks. It made my black Vette look like and feel like it was dipped in oil, except that the shine was deep.
Good luck.
