I still buy and use Zaino’s Leather Soft and Leather In A Bottle. I like the smell of both, aka new leather.

I solely use Gyeon and CarPro products on my autos. Gyeon Bathe+ and Wet Coat make polishing/waxing obsolete. Great gloss and beading with Wet Coat. On a garaged auto it will last six plus months if maintained properly. Outdoors 24/7 1.5-2 months.

Thanks for this product info. I need to try new stuff on the new car, then compare it against my old faithful of JetSeal 109 sealant topped with Collinite No. 885 (also formulated for aerospace applications). I have it down to about 4 hours (add another hour if it also needs claybar) to wash the car and then apply those two products.

Welcome back to having a car you care about !!

Not only do you need to wash it yourself but you need to foam it like Sean does

D'oh! I, too, did not sign up for that. But, my son has been good about watching videos and did a decent job not swirling up my car.

PH neutral foam cannon pre-wash, followed by a foam cannon wash with Gyeon Bath, Bathe+ or CarPro Reset along with a high quality wash mitt are essential. I do not do the two bucket method as it is overkill for my autos as they do not get a ton of debris on them. I use a Big Boi car dryer and Gyeon Silk Dryer towels to dry, only need two as they soak up everything.

It was actually five years ago today that I picked up my F15 X5 from the Performance Center and no one has touched it other than me since. Therefore the paint is swirl/marring free. It truly looks like it did five years ago, maybe better. lol

Edit: It absolutely poured here around two hours ago. I washed and Wet Coated the E39 last weekend. I took the pic below approx 45 mins after it stopped raining.

I still use Zaino wash, polish and zfx on the outside of my cars too. I messed with sonax, but think zfx is better and asks longer. I may give the gyeon a try

Here's my obligatory beaded water pic on the x5 after today's storm.

I think I'm switching from the gloss black trim to the Aluminum Rhombicle Anthracite.

I was assuming it was the bright shiny aluminum one from 2022 but it seems like it's a different, darker one
