Well, I have been neglecting my Stang fro a while now, so today I decided it was time to wash and polish her up. Has anyone ever used Zaino car polish? I swear, I have tried many, many types of wax/polishes, and this Zaino is the shiznit! The shine it puts on a car is un-fricken-believable. On black cars it makes it look like a mirror! Check out some of the pictures people have sent in of their cars/trucks.
I'm waiting for the polish to dry, then I'll remove it and apply a second coat today before I'm all done. Cruising with the top down tonight!
here is a link to the phot's people have sent them.

I wish the weather in Denver was better. It was beautiful last week and now it got cold again, I'm bitter.

I like this picture, amazing how reflective the car is, especially for factory paint!
I hear ya. My folks live in Fort Collins and say one day it is nice, next day cold and rain/snow.
I love Texas weather!

I own a 1994 Mustang GT (white exterior, black interior) and Zaino is definetly the best stuff I've ever used. I use a combination of Duragloss (another synthetic sealant like Zaino) and S100 carnuba wax, and it's the closest I've gotten to Zaino.
Tell us about your Mustang!

Yeah, Zaino is amazing I think. I got turned on to it by a friend at a car show. it was raining, he drove 45 minutes in a black lightning to the car show (inside show) pulled his truck in, dried it with a towel and ended up winning first place in the SVT category!
The water just beads off like no tomorrow! I've been hooked ever since. My nickname ona few of the local car boards is the Zaino pimp. I even tried to become a reseller!
I have an 01 GT Vert with a Vortech V2-SQ supercharger and a Paxton air to air intercooler. I have an SLP loudmouth cat back, so it is fricken LOUD, along with some hi-flow cats. have had some custom paint work done to it also. LOL, I even got a tattoo in honor of my car. I got STANG in yellow letters with black outline down the back of my left arm.
Luckily my wife loves cars and football as much as I do. She had a truck that she used to show quite a bit, won a bunch of trophies with it.
Here are a few pic's of my car, and some of the other cars we've had/have on my webpage.

Zaino is incredibly durable, that's one of the best things about it! Your car looks amazing too, wish I had the money to make my car look that good! Right now my car is just a basic bolt on car.
Here is my car...http://www.tbmustangs.com/forums/vbpicgallery.php?do=view&g=9
What car boards are you on?

I used to be on DFWStangs a lot, but about a year ago I quit posting over there. Now I am mostly on Truestreet.net, a Harley Davidson truck board, a Torino board, and here. Got kicked off yellowmustangregistry.com, bunch of crybabies over there (actually my wife got kicked off, I said delete my acct. too).
Nice looking car! Have you has any problems with your exhaust dumped before the axle? I had cutouts on mine for a while, but the rear-end started leaking some oil and they said the exhaust gets it too hot and causes the seal to break up or some crapola like that??? I put the SLP on and just figured it was loud enough!
Just noticed, no A/C in Florida, you crazy!

If you don't mind my asking, what happened on the Yellow Mustang Registry site? Reason I ask, I know a few people who were kicked off there for bull**** reasons.
I haven't had any problems with the exhaust or the rear end, the only downside is that the dumps kick up dust all over the back of the car and the interior resonance is pretty loud.
The lack of AC wasn't my choice actually. My AC compressor seized up here about 3 weeks ago and I was too poor to buy a new one, so I simply put a short belt on it. I will be getting that fixed though, sooner or later.

Cool, at least you'll have A/C before the summer! The interior nosie is the best at 2200 RPM! I love loud cars too. :thumbs:
My wife got into an argument with one of them about some stuff that happened at a car show in Orlando. They said to drop it, she didn't want to cuz she was right. They respond by kicking her off! Couple weeks later, they realized she was rigth afterall, but we never go there any longer.
Well, just finished putting 2 coats of Zaino on her, looks pretty good now!

Today was NOT a good day to wash a car here...we had 3 inches of wet slushy snow last night and early this am...what a mess...the temp today was almost 40 and we had tons of slushy stuff. Water everywhere.
