Hood Ornament
When I left for work this morning I had a new hood ornament.
I drove to work figuring it would fall off soon after I hit the road. I drove 30 min. at speeds up to 65 mph. When I got to work it was still there. I left work and drove back home and guess whos still there.
I guess it likes being seen on a cool ride. Maybe its because my truck is green or because it sees its reflection and is trying to get to the other side. Its got one crazy grip to hold on to that waxed hood.

Doesn't say much for your choice of waxes

That wax is way to much work for me. I am sure it is all it says but, turtlewax ultra is the best I've used recently.BADs Crew wrote: I know ..I know Just plugging my wax
Does anyone remember the 3 step blue coral that took all day?

TRY IT ...... You'll LIKE IT. Its a few $$$$ but it does a sweat job with little effort. No more burnt in swirls from the sun. My dark paint gets hot in the shade so with any other wax I can only do a small area at a time. With Zaino I can do the whole truck drink a few beers and watch a few laps of Nascar then buff if off with no streaks. I remember the old waxes, I did my girl friends 67 Caddy years ago with that stuff, It was one of them jobs that after you got started you thought WTF did I do this for, But that night was all so sweet.

There is just not anymore days like that in this old boy.
I'd rather sort my sock drawer than to spend that sort of time on a pretty glow on my truck. I respect your opinions and believe that it is the best wax
Now, spending 6 hours on mounting a good scope (I do not hunt) on a precision rifle and zeroing it in.......................................I could do that for a week

I'm kind of in the same boat as you. I like Zaino and all...just don't have the time to spend detailing the truck. Gone are the days when I would spend all day cleaning the outside of the vehicle with vinegar to get the water spots off, then washing, then cleaning with a clay bar, then washing again, etc., etc., etc. Besides...it's pewter metallic...which means it doesn't show dirt as bad, right?f9k9 wrote:I believe you guysAZS10Crew wrote:I agree...Zaino Rules!BADs Crew wrote:I've never found anything better than Zaino Bros,
