Jeffro, you do have the color to have the "wet" look and I'm glad your happy with Zaino, for the most part, but all in all, was all the work worth it? I don't want anyone who uses Zaino to take this personally, except the guy who called me an idiot for using Griots, but doing a clay and 3 step once using a premium wax system and then keeping your car maintained should be the way to go, instead of Z2, Z3, Z4, Z5, HIKE! I bet you only have to this initially and then only once a year if I had to guess, but come on already. BTW, can some tell us all what the entire "system" costs from Zaino. The reason I ask is because the guy who called me an idiot for using Griots said that Griots is "insanely expensive" and FWIW, here's my breakdown...

-Griots clay bar...$20.00 step #1

(they don't offer a paint cleaner, so I use Meguiars premium paint cleaner, only available from them directly...$15-20.00) step #2

-Griots fine hand polish...$13.00 (16 oz)

-Griots "best of show" wax...$20.00 (16 oz) for great clarity and 3 months of protection or Griots Carnauba paste wax (33% content) for $20.00 (8 oz) and would give you up to 6 months of protection or you could get their new Paint Sealant for $20.00 (16 oz) which gives you up to ONE year of protection, but has less emphasis on clarity and for the record, still has a great shine. You only need to use one of the (3) products above as its the "finishing wax" in the system.

So my math says $63.00 for the actual applied products and your going to need some detailer for the clay bar and general maintenance so I always get the gallon jug because of how much I use and the cost of buying in bulk and that's $30.00 a gallon, so even with that, your a hair under $100.00 and that's going to last you quite a while, even if your like me and rub on the car all the time! So again, what's the price of all the Zaino products they tell you to use, don't leave out the half dozen Z#'s either.
