Tailgate!!!

This was at the local cars and coffee this morning. I took the 911, they didn't want to have the top down in 40f weather, so they took the wagon.

Sounds like fun, but they do not look very cozy in there

It's been spring cleaning week for my cars. I put the least effort into the 1er, but i think it still looks good at 10yrs old... plus zebra.
The wagon and 911 have a few more coats of Zaino to go.

Nice! That car would be green, if you left out here any length of time...

yep, I've tried a number of other options, but keep going back to it for car wash and shine. They have a ZFX product that is similar to Sonax Polymer net shield, in that you just spray on lightly and wipe off that *to me* works better and lasts longer than Sonax. Their leather products are absolutely excellent too.

For the 1er, I just used my porter cable to apply an All-in-One polish and polymer, then spritzed the ZFX on it.

The Mercedes, I had to strip the crap that was on it off and start from the beginning. The Porsche I am putting a couple coats of polymer on just for the fun of rubbing it.

We are 2 weeks behind you. I wanted to get it ready now so I can just rinse it off when the pollen starts.

I have a Gyeon ceramic kit (same stuff JV used on his Boxster) waiting for me to do paint correction (or have someone else do it), add some PPF in some vulnerable areas on the Camaro. Been waiting so long for days warm enough for it to be comfortable enough to do all this stuff...and when it finally happens pollen is already an issue. So, still waiting...
