The bath and body works for our RX8s

So today i come back from work to the hotel and I knew a special box was waiting for me.

My zaino box with the new Z-PC Fusion. With a name like that you know its like kung-fu in a bottle for your car The first thing I do with every zaino product I buy? SMELL IT! It's like candy, i swear not only is this stuf "da bomb" but its just like some fancy stuff chicks would buy at Bath and Body works! I wouldnt be surprised with chemicals that smell this good if they guy at Zaino tops off each bottle with some freaky lotion or something from Bath and Body works to give it that heavenly aroma.

I think its funny girls can spend all day in a store like Bath and body works buying all kinds of foofoo stuff to make them smell nice, us guys are no different but all the fancy lotions and stuff are for our car

I've figured it out,

Z-PC Fusion: some type of mango fruit scent
Z-6: some type of cherry fruit happiness
Z-7: some type of grape fruit mix of sweetness

Z-8 is awesome lemony smell. Wanted to eat off my wheels when I was done Z2'ing and Z8'ing them.

Has zainoing your wheels kept them cleaner?

ive wonderd that myself - usually after i spend some time zaino'ing im too tired to give a damn about my wheels becase they are already sparkling from just a tire brush and soap

This weekend should be great though - temps will be down and i can spend a few hours zaino'ing my *** off, im anxious to try out this Z-PC Fusion

^me too. But I'm thinking I should Zaino my wheels because they instantly get dirty again after a drive. It doesn't bother me as much as dirty paint, because wheels are wheels, but still.

it has kept them cleaner somewhat, not by a lot. however, cleaning is much easier. everything comes off w/ regular car wash soap. i haven't used wheel cleaner since last november basically.

if you keep your wheels Z-6'd or Z-8'd every week or every two weeks... i noticed that right after Z-8'ing the wheels, they are so slick that all the brake dust slides into corners...

yeah, a Zaino thread. z8? I don't have z8. Argh! Z-8 Grand Finale Spray Seal, I want some, "My precious, my precious."

Isn't it a bad idea to use wheel cleaner, ie. acid, on painted rims? When I learned they were painted I threw out all the wheel cleaner and z2'd my rims a few times. I never use anything but z7 car wash on my rims now.

My brother-in-law is now zaino obsessed with zainoing. 68 vette, new 530i. My sister thinks it's a whoot.

do you have to take the wheel off to eat off of it?

It'd probably be easier if you just tipped it over on its side.
