hey guys i zainod my car last night from like 7 to 12. i started with a dawn wash .. then i clayed.. didnt notice much difference with the clay to be honest. Then i did a z7 wash. then i polished with z5 then z5 then z2 then z2 sometime using z6 in between. now i have smudges all over and i dont know what to do.. help???? i don't think i left enough time for wax to dry and buff off. because when i buffed off i didnt really notice me doing anything. just smudging around .. i would polish whole car and then just start from the beginning drying.. no waiting period so i dont know how long it was .. probably like 10 min.. feels nice but theres smudges everywhere.

Everything I've read says that smudges mean you've put to much on and that the fix is to do it again.

Maybe Southern or some other expert can help.

This is why I have been looking for a professional detailer to clay and to do all the other Zaino stuff to my CTS. I just found one about seven miles from my home. Dr. Detail in The Woodlands, TX, I talked with them, they said it takes about 2.5 hours and cost $185.00. Does this sound reasonable to anyone that has had this done?

I can't remember who brought up Zaino many months ago, but thanks to everyone that has posted comments about this product, I had never heard of it before reading this forum!

I think that price would be for a full detail. By that I mean, exterior and interior. You don't want them to do the insde, just the outside. The price should be a littler lower. I wouldn't let anyone put anything on the leather.

Great, thanks. What do you recommend for the interior?

Allow only clean people in the car. This is not a work truck, and get a bottle of good leather cleaner.

I wish I could help brother, but I know nothing about this stuff. There are others here that have done it. There were some earlier post related to Zaino, have you tried a Search on the forum for Zaino?

Good luck!
