I tried a new trick yesterday. I was getting my car up to my standards, wash/Zaino/dealer crap off/applying protectant.

I usually just use a cloth and get a lot of it on places that I don't want it. Yesterday I got a new kitchen sponge. The smaller kind that comes 4 to a pack. I cut it in half, rinsed it good and used that. It was a perfect size and I could make a perfect line of where I wanted it and where I didn't want it.

I have ordered some Zaino leather care for the seats. Once I get that done, I will be set! :)

I think we are about finshed with that. Lots of rain this week.

I have to find a way to stop my top about 1/2 way from closing. At one point the back window is at the perfect angle to clean. Otherwise, it is really hard to get between the glass and the headrest/roll bars. Somehow I got a lot of pollen on the inside of that glass. Tried to clean it Saturday, but made a bigger mess.

Do you think it would hurt anything to stop the top midway? :confused:

It's time for me to do a was job on mine...when detailing the worst thing is cleaning the edge of my clear bra to get the goop out of the adhesive edges.

Victoria's Secret sells some good bra cleaner.

:chuckle:

Sorry.....really, I can't think of any suggestions for that. That is a tough one. You don't want to use anything that could ruin the adhesive quality.

It's not like that "green car" bad. We have rain in the forecast like every other day. :rolleyes: How the heck are you supposed to have a clean car.

:facepalm:

Pretty today though....TOP DOWN! :woot:

When you do Zaino, you need to to clay it first. If there is dust/pollen in the air, it will get on the paint as you seal it. I'd wait a few weeks until the air is clear.

One year I was in the middle of it and had to pull it in the garage because my dumbass neighbor started mowing his crappy lawn.

THis has happened to me. Even blew bade grass on my car. I just got up, gave him the death stare. He mowed the back yard after that.
