A Zaino kind of day

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

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.
