WOW!!!! Looks fantastic.........nice job.........beautiful car.
I'm loving your pics since I just ordered that very car with Lux,ML Nav.
Something to look at during my wait
Those wheels are hot on that car, what brand?
I learned about Zaino from the Acura forum, excellent product

Looks good, but I think topping it with Souveran was a mistake... now any time you want to apply another layer of sealant you're going to have to strip everything to make sure you have a good foundation to allow a proper bond.
I know there are a ton of people that think Zaino on its own doesn't offer the depth that a wax does, and decide to topcoat it like you did, but I've never really noticed that much of a difference between Zaino and any good wax to be honest.
Regardless, very nice detail. I've never been partial to the Lexus red but it pops nicely!

Car looks great! Zanio is considered the gold standard by most enthusiasts I think. I have always been too lazy to use it though.
Good to see fellow .Mac users. The only way to go in my mind.

Looks awesome! I have been using Zaino for years on all of my vehicles. It is the best! I can't wait to pick up my vehicle next week because the first thing I am doing is the Zaino process.

Zaino has a ton of different products on its site. I'm just looking to buy what I really need to keep the car looking good. Anyone know what the essential products I need to have?

The goal with careful washing is to not have to take all the Zanio off and start over...
