I just used the Zaino Clear Seal. One application. It was really easy to use. I washed the E well using Dove dish soap. Wiped down and dried it really good. Then I applied the Clear Seal to the entire E with the cotton applicator. I applied it in about 20 X 20 inch areas at a time. It stays pretty clear during the application and I had to pay attention were stopped and started as I applied it. I called Zaino and confirmed it was ok to put on the plastic and they said yes. They emphasized the importance of applying the Clear Seal in a very light coat. The application only took about 15 minutes. Then just let it dry for about an hour. They said because I live on the gulf coast that the drying time could be longer do to the humid climate. But It was a dry warm day Sat. I am very happy with the way it came out.

Looks terrific!!

I still haven't used the Clear Seal -- did it make the cladding look significantly better?

Sure looks great in the pic.

Are you going to clay it sometime?

:)

Yes, it did great; I did get a little too much on the cladding at first. It looked a little cloudy as it dried. The people at Zaino are real nice. I called they said not to worry. To lightly wipe the area with a damp clean cloth then wait and see if I needed to touch it up. I did that and it was good no touch up was needed. You can believe when they say very light application the mean very light. It is hard to tell it is covering but it is. Weather permitting I will put on another coat next week end.

oooOOOoooo that looks so nice. Thanks for sharing. :)

Hi,
Looks great! I just ordered the clear seal yesterday and am waiting for its arrival. Did you spray it on the pad, then apply it or spray it directly on the panels?

oooooooooo shiney:D

Nice Shine !

If enough people clean and polish thier E's, Gisele may be forced into @ least washing hers...........

I sprayed on the panel. They tell you to spray some SC on the pad when you start. I did have a problem with the first pad I used. It put some fuss on the black panels. They are more textured. It was not a problem on the painted areas or smooth areas. I change to a smoother pad. The fuss came off with a damp towel when it was dry.

Zaino's tire and exterior vinyl product works wonders on the composite panels. They seem to drink it up, much like putting lemon oil on wood furniture. My grey panels have been neglected for way too long lately. I'm going to do an automatic car wash soon to clean it up and then give the panels some Zaino. I'll take before and after pics.

Also, the exterior vinyl stuff seems to keep the polish product from adhering at all, so then getting a little polish on the vinyl is a non-issue. It just wipes off.
