Johnny,
Your car really does look the biz,can I ask some advice,mine has also had a full Zaino detail and just about ready for a top up when it warms up a little but I've got a real problem with a residue which has appeared after the beading following rain has dried in the sunshine and I just can't get rid of the small dried patches,any tips other than take it off and start again?
I did it on Sunday,snow foamed it 3 times,washed it with really hot water/Zaino shampoo and then Z8 but it's still there.

It will most likely be down to the temps mate....it dosnt like anything below 8c....have you noticed it before....

Hard water or something in the rain ?
As Russ has said, Zaino can be a bit funny at low temps (hence Johnnyopolis trialling a Euro version) but I can't see how that would effect water spotting?
Have you got any other sealants you could stick on one panel to see if you get the same results? ON THE WAY: BMW F21 M140i

Can you post a picture?

I wouldnt wash with really hot water, that will dry quicker and give you water spotting. I generally use warm just not hot . If that makes sense?

What doesn't like anything less than 8 degrees? I have used Zaino AND demo'd it at a meet at -2 degrees!

Just to clarify chaps the spotting occurred when I washed it when it was a hot day but once I had dried it and Z8'd it ,it rained that afternoon and beaded,the sun then came back out and dried the beads leaving the spots which despite now washing and polishing about 3 times they are still there.
That's why I was wondering if we'll have to strip it all off and start again,any chance of a Beta test of the new stuff
I'll try and get a picture if its dry. MY2011 HSE Santorini/Ivory/Piano Black/Privacy Glass/TV .Sadly gone.

Ooooh, did someone say beta test.
Would gladly test a Zaino 'Euro' version on my RRS or Mrs Bean's Fiat 500  ON THE WAY: BMW F21 M140i

It was about the last wash of the summer on a hot day I think it got baked on a the few times I've washed it since doesn't seem to shift it.
John pranged his X6 last month and he's got that back now so just need it to warm up a bit and we're on  MY2011 HSE Santorini/Ivory/Piano Black/Privacy Glass/TV .Sadly gone.

I will sort it out for you mate....maybe go for a different finish or stick with Zaino....

too bad i can not see the pictures.
i am wondering which exhaust i should get for my TDV8.
somewhere else i can find the pictures?

Johnny has since sold the RRS, you could drop Ben at AMD Technik a line as I'm sure he would have the details.
I've not seen Johnny post up these pics anywhere else, but it looks like he's deleted them from his photo account, hence the dud link.  ON THE WAY: BMW F21 M140i
