    Hey, I seriously entertained the idea of Zainoing my desktop computer. I still might do it!

    Best ways to scratch the surface because they don't have any loops to protect against grit. Best to use 100% cotton terrycloth towels, or semi-fluffy microfiber. I use the spot-lighting approach to verify if I'm putting in swirls/spider-webbing.

    One thread in the maintenance forum recommended Mo's Gold, used on racecars. It looks to be MUCH less work than Zaino. Anybody else had experience with this product?

    Thanks! You made me feel better. :rolleyes: I waxed my car last month with the Eagle One Nanowax. I guess I bought it because of the rave about Nano Technology. I need to go wash and wax my baby. I got my first rain on it last week...a whole 1 minute rain shower. Just enought to mess it up. :angry:

    Does anyone know how long I should wait before waxing a new Prius? Is there a time period to allow the paint to "cure" or whatever? I've heard everything from 6 weeks to 6 months. ??????

    AFAIK, the paint is "cured" by the time it rolls out of the factory.
