I’ve been so busy this summer that I haven’t had much chance to keep my car clean. Usually just the occasional quick wash. Today, for the first time since the beginning of the summer, I had a chance to do a proper wash and Zaino wax. It was also my chance to use some new products.<\/p>\n

\nThough I still use my Mr. Clean Auto Dry<\/a> for quick washes, I wanted to go back to a bucket wash with Zaino Z-7 Car Wash<\/a> whenever I was going to wax. I haven’t used it in a few years and I forgot just how well Z7 suds and lubricates. I also used my new Ultimate Nozzle<\/a> which is impressive and works as advertised (I added a Goodyear on\/off switch and brass quick connectors from home depot). This was my first chance to use the Professional Bucket with Grit Guard<\/a>. It’s pricey but feels like a great piece of engineering. Videos on NAM<\/a> show how important that grit guard is, but what I really like is using the bucket as a rolling seat when waxing.\n<\/p>\n

\nI wish I had as much time to keep the MINI clean as I used to, it always feels rewarding when it looks good as new. You don’t have to trust my opinion, just ask my assistant as she admired her reflection!\n<\/p>\n
