Evidently they add it to every one on the lot and try to add in wheel locks a clear coat sealant for like $1000! Needless to say, I did not pay for any of that crap. They had a Garnet Ember 6MT with a big nasty white stripe down the side, I actually threw up in my mouth a little when I saw it!

LOL! I think I would have too. What a way to mess up a gorgeous color!

Congrats! It is still rare to see many 07 G's on the road here in Huntersville.

I was getting my 07 G serviced at Lake Norman and went to look at the cars on the lot. It is absolutely disgusting what they do to the cars. Every G and M on the lot is pinstriped! WTF! Great call on making them remove it.

These guys seem a lot more negotiable now they have a bunch on lot not moving. They would not budge off MSRP in November so I went to Raleigh.

Nice looking car. And yeah, it really doesn't compare to anything else, this compared to our old C320....

Great to see another "local" on the boards. Yeah, they tried the old "we're the highest volume and we don't usually move off of MSRP" schpiel on me, but I had a great price quoted by the dealer in Greensboro that I kept falling back on. Eventually they saw it my way .

Zaino + Sunny Day - pinstriping = :D

Zaino + Sunny Day - pinstriping =

Here's some pics of the car with the pinstripe removed and after a claying followed by three coats of Z5. Next weekend it's 2-3 coats of Z2 followed by the new clear sealant.

So does anyone else want to lick their car while detailing because the Zaino smells so good?

Thanks. I've been using Zaino products for about 8 years now and I am still amazed how well they work. I can't wait to try out the new clear sealant.

I've only been using Zaino for about two years, but I have been nothing short of satified with their products. As far as the clear sealant, are you talking about Z-CS? I haven't used that product yet.
