, but it will also make you cry at the same time. Then again, you might not have any swirls.

4) Waxed it with Z-2 Pro Polish and let it dry overnight (mostly because I was dead tired.)
5) Removed wax with cotton towel and applied Z-6™ Ultra Clean Gloss Enhancer Spray.
6) Remembered I had the ZFX additive and used with the Z-2 Pro for a 2nd coat.
7) Finished it off with more Z-6.
8) Washed the wheels and applied Z-16™ Perfect Tire Gloss.

The sad thing is, the towels I use on my car are more expensive and higher quality than the ones I use on my body.

I know. That's pretty sad isn't it. That has all changed for in the last two months though. It turns out when you get married you get enough towels that you will never have to buy another one as long as you live and some of them are really nice.

Holy crap I want a high res, that GG is sexy as hell. I remember when I first waxed my STi, the paint was basically brand new, so it was still pretty soft. I got so many damn swirls in the paint, hopefully you didn't!

From the Zaino site:
Use Z-18 ClayBar™ to help remove the following:
Rail dust - Tiny, sharp bare metal shavings that can adhere and imbed into the paint finish and cause serious damage when left untreated. Over 70% of new vehicles are transported from the factory using the rail system. In many cases, new cars are stored near a railroad and becomes infected with rail dust.
