That is one of the things I like the most about Zaino...you can put it on anything. I have been putting it on my headlights wondering/hoping that maybe it would keep my headlights from getting cloudy. Do you think it might help/hurt/do nothing?

Yes, I was told that Zaino will help protect your headlights. You can use it on any smooth surface plastic. I have always put it on my headlights/taillights whenever I polish my cars!
My 04 coupe already had yellowing head lights. I used 3M plastic cleaner and then Meguiar's Plastic headlight polish....not sure what it's called.

Cool....I want to be proactive. :) I probably won't keep the car long enough for them to cloud up anyway, but I will keep him beautiful for the next person.

just use some plastic cleaner when you wax. You should be waxing/polishing at least once a year...

Mine are still clear, going on 3 years of use. Maybe Infiniti plastic is better than Nissan :)

If you headlights start to get cloudy use whitening toothpaste on your headlights.

You guys are horrible. LOL

I never tried the headlights but I use it on the wheels and works well. On my wife's car the front pads are leaving dust. It comes off much easier with the wax on.

Good idea Zo. I'm getting a lot of brake dust.

Saturday I had to put my new sticker on my license plate. Instead of doing like most folks and just cleaning off a little space to put the sticker...I took off the plate, removed the old sticker, scrubbed the plate with Dawn and put on the new sticker perfectly straight, then waxed the plate.

:cool:

I am lazy with the stickers. I just put it on the top of the old one. LOL

I will!

I was being lazy. I should have waxed the car behind the plate but it was too yucky outside.

Yeah....I'm sick. I have had many people tell me that when they die they want to come back as one of my cars.

:biggrin:

I can't stand stuff like crooked stickers, dealer logos, excessive auto badging etc. There have been times when I have pulled the wheels off my Camaro to paint the inner fender wells. I'm just weird.

Now we're talking! :dblthumb:

What color is your car? Mine is so light, my Zaino fella told me I could get by without the hardner. I have the Z2 and the Z6 detailer and the car wash. It is so easy to use. You will be amazed. I put mine on so light that you can barely tell there is wax on the car. It is expensive so you don't want to waste any by putting it on thick. You can put it on anything, plastic trim, lights etc. There is absolutely NO residue. Smells yummy too. ;)
