No pics yet....but the MSM got scrubbed up, rubbed down with the clay bar, spot polished (with 3M imperial hand glaze) to blend out some very light scuffing I found, Z1, and Z5. Once complete, she got hit with the Zaino spray, put back in the garage and covered. I'll wait a few days and begon layering on the Z2. I'd like to get 2-3 coats on before it gets put into hibernation.
I was amazed by what came off on the clay bar....maybe a little scared. But now it's like glass and nearly swirl free now, keeping in mind I'm almost OCD when it comes down to keeping the car clean.

Thanks every one. She got the first coat of Z2 this afternoon, the wheels got waxed (Baco you know what a PITA that is!!), the muffler was painted black and the engine got detailed.
She's getting ready for next year!!

What an interesting color ... from the photos, it almost looks like a different shade of T-red, the way it shines. Looking good!

definitely, the 04 wheels seem so much easier to clean than the 05 wheels.
mayzie's sitting in the garage now waiting for the weather to clear a bit! hopefully i can have a warmer weekend for some wash and wax.

I didn't expect another opportunity to drive the car again this year, but it looks like Friday will be nice and the weekend should be ok. I have a meeting in Framingham on Friday, I just might take her back out.
Hopefully in the nest few weekends I can get a can of Lava orange paint to finish the calipers, I'll hit the rotor hats with some high temp aluminm paint, clean and wax the insides of the rims and detail the wheel wells and suspension during the winter.
