Same to mine, everytime it rains, the rear becomes dirty.

What brand of Seal or Wax do you guys use?
I use Turtle wax Platinum Series Ultra Gloss Wax, and it comes on/off quite easy. But not sure if it last as long/as good as the other brand.

I've been using Meguilar's Tech Wax 2, only because its the best wax the local Pep Boys carries.

I have heard nothing but amazing reviews for Zaino (i am not a paid sponsor, i have no dealings with this company.. so im not a shill lol), but I don't have a garage to put the Zaino on, so I have been putting this off. Anyone else care to elaborate?

One thing is for certain though, if you keep your car waxed/sealed, cleaning those water spots off is much easier. (not to mention makes your G look sleek while keeping your finish nice)
This is true - the car does clean up nice and easy.

I used the Meguiars Tech 2 wax this last time, and I really like the finish it left. Easy to put on and off, leaves a really smooth and shiny finish. It hasn't rained since I put this one on, I'll have to see how the spotting will be this time.

Why do you need a garage to apply Zaino? I have it and it works great, long lasting too!

I was under the impression that any dust/pollen that collected between coats would ruin the finish. I have read quite a bit about Zaino, but I guess I must have overlooked something.

I think you'll be fine, but if it's visibly dusty when you're applying the coats, I'd clean it up with some detailer sprays first. But if you get ZFX (recommended), the curing time will be shortened significantly for fast application of multiple coats.
