I have several. One of them is with my call at all times. A "must have" for this top and what are you doing using a towel to wipe off the top? Use an "absorber" or chamois.

nooo i wasnt wipping the top..i was wiping the body and it rubbed against the soft top

One of the best things about Z4um was spell check.

Get yourself a soft brush and it'll wipe everyything off. You can get one for cars, or what I did was stop by my local cobbler/shoe repair and buy a big horsehair brush (very soft) for $10. They're normally used for brushing suede.

I actually carry both with me. Brush for a bird mishap and roller for any other issue. If you go top down all the time just bring a towel and wash cloth.

I carry a Zaino travel bag with all the products I need.

imz4n · 06-08-2007, 09:34 PM

Meguires for me and a ample supply of micro fiber ( towels ) .

Zaino is better....

DewsZ4 had a pro put Zanio on hers and got the two side by side and i did not come away from that with your opinion. To each their own. The two cars are the same color.
