    Been at least a few weeks since its had a wash.

    Process:
    Rinsed off with PW at a safe distance.
    Foamed with Z7.
    Cleaned wheels, tires and wells with AM777 APC.
    Rinsed off with PW at a safe distance.
    Re-foamed with Z7
    2 bucket wash with Z7 and sheepskin mitt.
    Rinsed off with PW at a safe distance.
    Clayed with zaino clay and Z6.
    Dried with WW MF.
    Polished paint with ZPC/3M blue 8" foam polishing pad/metabo 1500.
    Removed ZPC with Z6 assist.
    Applied 2x of ZFX'd Z2pro to paint and glass.
    Z8 to paint and glass.

    Nothing on the tires since its going to rain/snow tomorrow when I go to work.

    Sorry no before pics. I had to get the wash done before the water police came around. :shh:

    Pics taken at 5:40pm or so.

    Nice looking car for the money. OF course I loved the process as well. Pretty nice looking shine for white. Zaino....is that a new product that is going to revolutionize the industry..... never heard of it. J/K LOL

    Wish you would have posted this two months ago when I purchased my latest lot lizard. Maybe my step-son would have considerrd driving this. It may not be considered below his station.

    CWCAD, Thanks for your kind words! Hate to get rid of it, but all I do is drive it to work now...3 days a week.

    Thanks Nica! Forgot about that......

    Thanks Sneek! The legends run "forver" if taken care of. AM777 is a nice APC. $8 a gallon hard to beat. AM also makes a Red Hot APC which is stronger, I think its only $10 a gallon. They both work really well.

    Thanks Sparkie!

    17 years old and looking better than 95% of most new cars. This vehicle is a prime example of how proper detailing can keep a car looking nearly new for many years.

    GREAT work! :worship:

    It is true. My mom used to have a Legend, and that is the car that changed my family to Honda crazy. That replaced the Legend wasn't as reliable! We had a grey 4 door.
