Don't forget the underside of the hood and trunk lid, too.

Mine gets Zaino just like the rest of the car.

ditto...zaino or whatever wax / sealant used on the rest of the car, then I just QD them every 2nd or 3rd wash. Although this year, I'll probably use Zaino CS since I picked some up last fall.

I did the inside doors, door jams, and trunk lid on Sunday with Megs #16. Pita to remove, but I need the durability in those spots as i don't plan on doing it as often. I didn't do the underside of the hood as I figure the M16 or P21S would just melt with all the heat under the hood. I do have some Z2, but I do think its worth it to put it there.

I wax/seal/protect everything.

not just because of the very little shine that wax gives, but for the longer life of everything

When ever I wax, I figure i'm already out doing it.
Yes!!
Under the hood, along the edges, anything I can reach that is yellow under the hood. Same with the doors, trunk license plate area, gas tank little door inside the edges too. Pretty much anything that is painted and I can reach will get waxed.

Thanks. I couldn't find that quickly enough, so I picked up 3M Quick Wax. It works. In the past, my between-washes QD often bogged down on those parts because they get so dirty. With the wax on the QD spray just wipes off and leaves nothing but shine.

Thanks, guys!

I just QD the door jambs, door sills, underside of the hood and engine, underside of the trunk. Anywhere there is paint but is not visible from the outside, I QD, but do not wax.
