I’ve been so busy this summer that I haven’t had much chance to keep my car clean. Usually just the occasional quick wash. Today, for the first time since the beginning of the summer, I had a chance to do a proper wash and Zaino wax. It was also my chance to use some new products.
Though I still use my Mr. Clean Auto Dry for quick washes, I wanted to go back to a bucket wash with Zaino Z-7 Car Wash whenever I was going to wax. I haven’t used it in a few years and I forgot just how well Z7 suds and lubricates. I also used my new Ultimate Nozzle which is impressive and works as advertised (I added a Goodyear on/off switch and brass quick connectors from home depot). This was my first chance to use the Professional Bucket with Grit Guard. It’s pricey but feels like a great piece of engineering. Videos on NAM show how important that grit guard is, but what I really like is using the bucket as a rolling seat when waxing.
I wish I had as much time to keep the MINI clean as I used to, it always feels rewarding when it looks good as new. You don’t have to trust my opinion, just ask my assistant as she admired her reflection!
Very nice job – the Zaino looks great on the MINI. I’ve been using 1Z products on my wife’s Cooper, but I’m going to give the Klasse twins a go.
