Do you guys in Sunnyvale really need to wash your cars?

Looks great. Let us know what products were used.

I use Zinio products only. One thing I noticed that after washing the car i have lots of brake dust on the rims. I was not able to remove all the dust without messing the rims up. Still looking up for a product that will clean the rims and not ruin them.

Zaino is the best. Brake dust needs to be removed constantly before it sets in. How often do you wash the car? I often just clean the wheels only just to keep from having the brake dust set in.

I live in northeast. So in winter I wash it every 2 months or so. I use Z2 and Z5, 2 coats each, and a spray of Z6 every month/every 2 months and a spray of Z6 every time I wash the car which is every 2 weeks except winter.

What I've found is this - if you use Z2 on the wheels whenever you apply Z2 and then Z6 on the wheels with every wash, it keeps brake dust from setting and caking in Its good preventative maintenance on the wheels.

What I do is save the wheels for last and use left over Z2/Z6 product on them.
