    Hope Katy like the Corolla - that seems to be one of those cars you hold onto forever. So are Subies ;)

    Favor: I'm looking at possibly getting a new TV. Do you still have access to consumer reports? Nothing wrong with my current TV except it isn't able to do streaming video. I've been out of the loop for so long I don't know which brands are good/bad, etc. so I'm looking for a little guidance.

    SHOULD. She will f' it up in short order I am certain.


    Don't waste yourmoney on a Smart TV. Easier, better and cheaper to just hook up your computer to the TV.

    PM incoming.



    I was just looking at that. How long does it take to apply and then how long does it last?

    John:
    It is billed as a show car polish but do not let that stop you from using it. The protection will last an easy 6 months. When used properly 1/2 ounce will put one coat on your vehicle. Two coats will really seal in the finish.

    Z2 Pro is a great sealant. Z5 will hide swirl marks a little bit better. I actually use them both. A coat of Z2 and a coat of Z5. Works really well.

    http://www.zainostore.com/Merchant2..._Code=Z-2&Category_Code=Zaino&Product_Count=7

    You will also need the ZFX. Treat it like liquid gold and only use 4 drops per 1/2 oz.

    http://www.zainostore.com/Merchant2...Code=ZFX&Category_Code=Zaino&Product_Count=20

    I also recommend the Zaino applicator pads to apply the Z2.

    http://www.zainostore.com/Merchant2...Code=314&Category_Code=Zaino&Product_Count=21

    If you want a little less costly solution go with the Megs #21 sealant. Long lasting and shines well.

    As a bonus either sealant can be used on clean clear coated rims to make cleaning very easy.

    I do not know how far away you live from Craig. I will be going up there to pick up a grill pretty soon so we might be able to work in a quick detail of your vehicle.

    If you put a coat of z2 over the top it will last longer.

    No link to kit but I usually buy products al la carte. Seems to be less expensive in the long run. Sealants and waxes may seem high in price but polishes are what kills the wallet. So expensive and to try and maintain a quality finish you usually need 4 polishes with a different abrasive qualities.

    My computer is old too :eek: Not sure that would be the best option.

    If you come back to Yellowstone will you bring your detailing stuff with you? :D
