Zaktek Paint Protection
Tomorrow I go down to get my 2nd yearly Zaktek paint application. Do any of you have that plan for your Camaro? Normally I wouldn't bother with it but dealer put it on my contract after doing 1st coat prior to me picking up my 2013. So I paid for it, might as well.
It can be a pain because the car has to be absolutely clean, wheels too, otherwise what on the paint gets seal in. So tomorrow morning detail, detail before heading down. |

Sorry, never heard of it. 6 years and IOM paint is still good, wax it once or twice a season. Garaged or covered 99% of the time.

I think it's what dealers to to give the car an extra layer of sparkle before you take delivery. Some dealers offer paint protection service contract & others put it on your contract for the car & don't tell you till you get to finance/warranty office. That's how my dealer did it, inscrutable.
After I told the service manager & he wrote on the windshield, and told porter to tell detailers, not to put armor all on the tires. THEY STILL DID! Grrr. |

Nice! I wax my vert in the winter while stored, a bit at a time. When you wax do you mask off the plastic vert trim & door sill molding. I do, just in case. |

I have a classic Buick I use Nov to May that doesn't have working a/c. That also helps me keep the miles down. While it's stored I do take it out for a monthly spin to keep things in check, run a/c. It's mighty cool switching from 1985 to 2013. |

Today's project, to take the tire dressing off that idiot dealer put on, even though I asked not to put it on. 2 buckets & 2 brillo pads later.
