Ah, Clear Corners and Zaino
The two most loved and hated topics. I just wanted to say hi and show my car. I've posted beofre but the weather has been heck for taking pictures and washing the car right.
I rotated the tree pick. It's the reflection from the hood and I thought a good shot of how Zaino makes the car a mirror.

Haven't done anything to the vent. I thought about getting Strakes but I like the way it looks just the way it is. My next purchase will be the rear rotary accent(ordering today).
The tires are Pirelli Snowsports(until May, it snowed last #$#@ week) on generic aluminum rims. Doing my second coat of Zaino tomorrow.
Why did you ask about the vent?

Its def. not showroom shine, but if you just wash with it and wax by hand, I think its just as good, and takes about half the time. Def. worth it for quick washes before a night on the town, or whatever.

I tried it ONCE on my car and it just didn't work very well on a black car. I spent more time rinsing with the 'spot free rise' cycle then I would have drying it with a micro fiber towel...

<- Married with 3 kids, ie. no time. This weekend was just nice though. 60-70 degrees. My wife was planting flowers kids riding the power scooter and power wheels fire truck. My wife doesn't mind me working on the car. She knows it's my therapy. I get that focused look combined with a stupid grin. Intense-Happiness 
Going to try for a second coat today. The car was pretty shiney to start only 3k miles. Zaino mad a big difference on the reflectivity though. Black Mirror now. And I agree with those that say Zaino smells like candy. Cotton Candy, Grape Bubble gum etc.
I live in Merrimack NH. Theres another BB and a Blue that's 2 wks newer then mine. Neither have clear corners though
I never knew how to wash the car properly. Thx for the tips here. Best one was:
Wash a single panel at a time top to bottom drying each panel as you go. Allow the water to sheet not spray.
The sheeting part is a pain unless you have an on/off valve at the end or want to flood the street(dumb). But drying right away allows you to see if you missed anything.
