Did my semi-annual zainoing of the 8 today. Cleaned the 8 inside and out.
Turned my wife into a RX-8 widow for the day.

This is my first time linking to images - so bear with me

Boy - looks like I'll have to resize these.

Not the best of detailing work - but fine for me.

here is my house - newly bought 5 months ago - my first house

you can see that my wife and I know the gas pumpers real well - my wife's car is a company car - and they pay the gas :)

Now for the ugly part - the front bumper - man is has so many nicks in it - the zaino really brings it out too.

the front hood and above the windshied have a few nicks too.

I guess that's what 50+ miles on the NJTPK, I295, Rte 42, PATPK will do to ya.

Either that, or my bumper was evil in another life and fate had it stoned in this life :)

pics are huge. lol. hard to see your work.

and those nicks and chips become obvious at that size. hahaha

looks like your oil coolers have taken quite a beating.

OK - I have resized them.

As for the oil coolers - well I knew I was going to regret not putting the screens on. I keep a pretty close eye on them - hopefully I catch it if one gets a hole in it.

Very nice. What was your regimen? Z2 and Z6?

Looks fantastic dag. Nice work! I feel your pain with all the nicks on the nose and now the hood, even a couple on the tops of the side fenders. It's a bitter sweet experience detailing the car. I love the fulfillment of getting her all prettied up, but hate the discovery of each new rock chip in the process.

Thanks All

DukeGG1 - not looking at tinting anytime soon - hey - and why would you want another WB looking like yours :)

time4akshun - Z2 - Z5 - Z2 - I thought I had some Z6 from the last time I bought Zaino - but when I went and looked - I couldn't find it.

poolsidenaz - this time was very painful - I can't believe the damage the winter did.
