BTW, I meant to say Sunday not Sat.
I did buy ZFX. I didn't use it because it was so very sunny and warm. Sunday I put on 1 coat of Z5 and 1 of Z2. Today I put on 1 coat of Z2.
I should use the ZFX so I can put on more coats in one day huh? Anyway, I didn't have any time for more that 1 coat today.

you know what i love doing? evidently it works wonders except for the wheels of course! Out here in the PacWestCoast it rains like no tommorow. So it's a waste of time to wash the car especially for 6 mths out of the year.
This is what i do:
-while it is raining outside & cold too, I take a bucket and soap and just slosh the soap/water on the car's panels/body etc. and back it back out of garage and let rain water do it's magic.
-not recommended when there is harsh road salt and crap though.
-next day you come out and VOILA! *note* cleaner but not spotless wash job.

take me 2 hours to clean the out side. 3 if i use bucket and soap. i wipe it down with a cotton towel.
the interior takes 2 hours also. my car is really clean inside. but not now, not after my last accident in april. i didnt start driving it till last week. its over due for a wash. i usually wash it ever 2 weeks. and thats in teh winter too.
