Oooh Shim, I've said it before and I'll say it again...you're a zaino maestro. Well done!! How long did it take? Can you fit me in for a touch up wash before the meet...please don't forget.

Brian: Car looks awesome. Now hurry up and slap on some blacklines already...

I know my car is dirty but I didnt realize it was that bad,
ok I agree it would be a bad idea to get left behind there after the meet.

I'm just getting to my computer. After I left Shim's place, I got home and the family went to a new kids' park out near Langley. After dinner and putting my son to bed, now I finally have some free time.

I highly recommend Shim's services! He did an outstanding job on the car, and at a reasonable price. The car looks amazing. I am basically driving a huge mirror now.

And your pictures look great, too. I didn't have a chance to take any myself but I hope I can keep it up for a while. Definitely I'll be stylin' for the meet on the 22nd.

Donny, I'll get the blacklines at some point, I'm sure. First, though, I need to splurge on some winter wheels and tires.

An update - I am even more impressed after one day than I was yesterday. As some of you know, I don't have a garage , so my car lives in the elements. The Zaino seems to repel dust somewhat, because my car was a lot less dusty today than it normally would be the day after I wash it. Also, the claybar treatment really made the surface feel like glass. I'm glad I got that done.

Unfortunately, it looks like rain for the next couple of days. I just hope I don't mess it up when I wash it myself this weekend! I also hope Shim doesn't burn out before I can do this again in 4 months or so.

Thanks, Shim! :rocks:

No problem Brian, although a full seal is unnecessary in only 4 months, it should last at least 6. I'll be making a maintenance detail soon.

Shim, I need a followup wash before the meet. How about Thursday (10/19) or Friday (10/20) for a follow-up wash. I have waterspots galore :mad:

10/20/06 Friday is good, actually all maintenance washes will be done that day, if anyone else wants it done before the meet.

I'd consider a maintenance wash on Friday if I didn't have to drive up to Annapolis that day. Looks like I'll wash it myself on Saturday. Hopefully will be swirl-free Sunday (and I'm hoping for clear weather both days!).
