Default Re: Waxed Inside of Exhaust Tips...

For NJxxxFire - I use Zaino and other than the first time when its a 3 step process (unless you claybar) it should not take but a few hours at best to polish and use the detail spray. I've said this before the Zaino is streak and dust free and the shine just gets better every time you put on a coat.

Another thing that people often miss when detailing a car, your wheel wells. Ever see a sparkling car and dirty wheel wheels? Disgusting. I always wash them as well. Fact I start with the wheels and wheels wells. When they get too funky a can of black spray paint will make them look new again. Always remember to cover your car when you use any spray paint around it otherwise the overspray will go where you don't want it to go.
I also clean the back of the wheels. I have small hands and its easy to do. I spend about an hour to and hour and a half a week cleaning and detailing.

Under the hood - every so often a bottle of alcohol and a rag top clean up the gook that builds up. I do this maybe once a month.

Agree with most of DFWSBR's comments via Golfdude but it shouldn't take 5 hours to Zaino your Crossfire.
I usually do mine on a Saturday night and let the polish dry overnight and then polish it off on Sunday morning.
Never ever use a carwash and if you have a black car (I had two black PT's) only wash in the shade or after the sun is out of the sky, otherwise you get waterspots.
Good luck - Pat
