Bullitt cover and Xzilon

fastsleeper

Why ya treat me like that?
Good evening Ladies and Gentlemen,
Questions:

*What exactly is Xzilon? The dealer convinced me it would be a wise investment. Yes? No? Is there something special I am supposed to do to take proper care of this coating?

*Bullitt cover:
I purchased the cover for Her. I have washed it 3 times and air dried in the sun. I clean Her everyday whether I drive her or not. The cover seems to leave a sort of powder residue on the vehicle. What is it? Is there a way to eliminate this? I clean Her before I put her to bed but then I have to clean Her again before She goes out on the road because of the residue.

Suggestions?
I do appreciate your help.

Too late Moosie. I was chattered into it when I bought Her. The outside is the X product, the inside is Mink Oil. Now what?

I do not allow food, beverages, (other than water for me), no shoes, no dirty clothes,etc. I keep the micro cloths in the car so I can wipe Her inside when I'm at a light and to wipe off my shoes before I take them off. I drive barefoot.

She is worth the extra effort to me. Did get my arm stuck between the disk and the rim trying to clean the entire inside of the wheel. That was funny in a rather "now what do I do" way. I clean the wheel wells too. And the inside and out side of Her pipes. She likes to be shiny :)

Hi Mooseman,

I am happy you understand the dedication. She will be beautiful forever.

To achieve some semblance of perfection we must be persistent and completely dedicated.

Guess I should have been a Marine? :)

Don't you feel better when you are clean and shiny?

Well, I get dirty, wet, muddy, sweaty, scratched, bitten, cut, poked, fall out of trees, and hit myself daily with whatever tool I'm using. Sooooooo.
For this female, being clean, shiny and sparkly is a nice change.

I've never been to Alaska.

Wow, fastsleeper, you are definitely dedicated. I do the same as you as far as wiping down mine when I put her back in the garage and before I take her out. But you pretty much do a mini-detail everyday. I'm impressed. Don't want to sound sexist, but not too many women care for their car the way you do. In fact not too many men do either. :bd:

Thank you for the compliment. I don't think you are being sexist at all. It is true. Most women could care less about their ride as long as it has a Mercedes insignia and someone else to at least "clean" the poor thing. I do, very much , love my Girl, love cars.

I take care of my tools for my work the same. I love my tools. I love tools. Wish I could design my own tools. Nothing like a nice edge on whatever blade I am using. I'm not educated in sharpening them myself so I have to hire out but I do know when the job is done properly.

Girls do blah blah a lot don't they? I won't take offense if you agree. It IS true. Some sort of genetic disorder we can't seem to control. HA!
