Great pix, abel!

I just got my Zaino starter kit this week and I can't wait to see what it's going to look like when I apply it. Your pictures make me want to start asap.

So how the heck do you get the polish done withoput getting it on the plastic trim?

Failing that how do you get it off of the trim?

Don't flame me for hijacking a Zaino post, but I recently applied Griots Garage Show Wax and got similar results.

Thanks abel,
My wife just rolls her eyes when she sees me detailing. I glad I have MCO, a group of folks who understand.

If your trim is turning white due to polish, or in my case, from spilling gasoline on it, I found that MINI's own Plastic Care spray will restore it to looking new again. I bought some this weekend for $8.29 which was 15% off at my dealer and I ended up using it on all my exterior plastic. It cleans and restores. See pix on my site. The wheel arches used to look scratched with white streaks on 50% of it. I wish I had taken pix of the before, but it got me so mad, I didn't want to remember it!



Details and pix on this product on My MINI Site

I just wish I had a darker colored car to really show off the Zaino effect. Zaino is fun to apply unlike any other prior product I've tried.
