During the course of drying the windows the car ends up dry without you touching the body panels. biggrin.gif I just got done doing the first part of an initial Zaino Show Car Polish application to the Celi.....the Wash with Dawn, claybar the car, wash with dawn steps. Taking a break now before I go mix the swirl reducer polish and put a couple of coats on, then one coat of the final polish.

If you want pics.......you'll have to wait! muahahahahahaha..........ha ha ha........ha......hooooooooooo

This evening pics will be posted. I must say that for a 99, the paint is in pretty good shape all things considered (location, mileage).

Ok, here come the pics. Now mind you, it may not seem like much of a difference in pictures, but it's a phenemonal difference in person where you can touch and feel the finish and actually walk around the car. I tried to capture some various reflections in the car too. I think what we're going to end up doing is either a full repaint when we get the splitters or at least have the nose redone and I'll wetsand/polish the car to a glass finish. Anyway..........Here's pictures!!!!

And my favorite shot. This one managed to capture the depth that Zaino brings out of your paint.

I HIGHLY recommend checking Zaino out. It's a PITA at first, but extremely easy maintenance after the initial application and is extremely durable. I won't HAVE to wax the Celica again until next spring, but most likely will add additional coats to increase the looks (Zaino layers, and looks deeper with each coat).
