Is this a stain subsequent to delivery? If so, did you use the clay bar in attempting to remove the stain of which you speak? If so and it didn't remove it perhaps the stain is under the clear coat which means you need to take it to a paint shop...and take some serious money with you.

it's above the clear, and clay bar did not touch it, I dont know if it was from prior to delivery
I did get some of them off with my fingernail, but I have not found anything that'll loosen up the other spots

If your really lazy just take it to a reputable detailer and let them worry with your car. Most guys that are pro detailers love cars and they typically do a really good job. Your gonna have to pay though.

You need to log on to autopia.org, and start looking around. There are a number of Atlanta-area detailers who frequent the site.
You are just going to have to do a little bit of homework, that's all. Many of the "true" detailers are found by word of mouth. I'd look for you, but I have more tests to correct before bedtime, and you have some homework to do ; ) |

[quote=Darth One;238909]actually zaino IS a pretty good wax for the lazy. you invest a lot of time at the start, but the sealant lasts a very long time. i use Klasse AIO + SG (one more step than you are looking to do), and it stays nice for a good 2-3 months depending on the weather and how much the car sits outside.
quote] Do you apply Klasse on top of Zaino? I heard this strips the Zaino? |

Zaino is definitely wax for the lazy. Disregard the "all day" zaino sessions you read about here, you don't need to do that. It took me 3 hours to: wash my car, use the claybar of specific areas, and wax the car.
I'm not one of these wackjobs who obsess over a clean car(no offense to ppl on this board), and let me tell you Zaino is $##$%$%ing amazing. I hestitated for months before buying Zaino, and I'm so glad I made the jump. It was so easy to apply and remove, and my car looks great. Probably the most impressive aspect is how it lasts. I don't wash my car that often, but it contnues to look good, even after rainy days. |

I use Zaino now, but am surprised I have not heard about the ease of use for Maguiars products. Easy to use and looks good.

mmmm it interesting to hear the carnuba wax doesn't last very long. I have been using collinite Marque D'Elegance (No. 915) Wax for years. Used to use it at the detail shop i worked at. I have found it would last at least 6 months if not longer depending on weather and gave a beautiful shine. I always get comliments on my car and many always ask what I use for products.
But I am interested in the Zaino if it is truley better and last longer. I don't mind taking a few hours to protect the for a while.

I use Zaino also but if you are that lazy.. maybe you can bring it to a detailing shop and have them do it all for you.. thats the laziest solution haha.. even bring your own wax and tell them to use that if possible..

Has anyone tried just a wash with dawn, and then a coat of Zaino Clear Seal? Only takes about 5-10 minutes to do one coat and is supposed to last up to 9 months.
I have the whole zaino package which I will be using when I get my 135 this month. |

I have used Final Detail on my last three BMW's and it is very quick and easy to spray on and wipe off and lasts at least a month. You can order it from QVC or direct from their web site at www.finaldetail.com.
