    I read the zaino site and it does look promising.. As far as I'm aware polishing is the 2nd step in treating a car, the polish goes under the wax.

    Using Zaino polish and then a synethetic sealer wax.. Followed up by a natural carnuba wax would lead to an awesome finish..

    It would glossy as hell and it would last a while too..

    This was re-coated for some photo's before i took it off the road this weekend.

    It doesnt really show how well it mirror's. While driving, you can drive watching the bonnet :p

    Dark cars mirror a whole lot better than lighter cars, and are best as examples of a wax's performance.

    I gotta find something to get scratches out - people recommend Meguires ScratchX ? Anyone used this? What were your thoughts on it? :)

    I've never used a scratch remover, just drop by a panel shop, they should be able to help you out. It might just need a very very light cut.

    Hahahahah so I'm not the only person who does this..

    Also instead of doing headchecks, you can look in the side mirrors reflection of the doors to see if a car is in your blind spot.. It actually does work..
