Well chosen, kind sir.

I added a coat of Z2 this weekend, followed by Z8, followed by S100 carnuba. Pics just don't do them justice, especially black.

Nothing like Black...looks great.

Brian,

Awesome Job!!!!! The car looks spectacular!!!!!

My Best,

Rob

P.S. My Zano kit is still in the box, I may just PM you for some pointers :)

Looks good ... but for all that I'll stick with Meguiars #20.

I used to use Meguiers...

But after Zaino I swear by it.

Meguiers will not do this:

Wow, talk about slippery wet! Gotta finish it off with some tire dressing though...

Zaino manages to actually take the light energy and sling shot so much of it back out that it damn near electrifies the surroundings, making everything radiate with super vibrant colors, as evidenced by Jon's crazy pictures. It not only beautifies the car, it aesthetically compliments the surrounding environment. Crazy wax technology.

How was the paint before you started? Perfect, or normal wear?

Normal wear. In the sunlight you could see rainbow swirl marks on every inch of the car. Almost as though there wasn't any clear coat at all. Now it looks like it's 2 feet deep.

Those pictures are magnificent. Do you have to buy Zaino direct or is there a cheap source?

Check out zainobros.com I'm not sure where else you can get it. For the shine, I'll happily pay that much, again. You barely use any polish at all. About an ounce does the whole car and about 1/2 ounce of the spray enhancer/polish does the entire car. The stuff goes a long way, however the shelf life is between 3-5 years. I did the Harley today also, took 2 hours and looks amazing.

That's all there is to it....I'm effing doing it !!

FYI. The 2 hours was only for the Harley. You can interpolate for yourself how long it takes to properly do a whole car.:eek:
I think it was somewhere in the neighborhood of 10-12 hours total for the V.

Not the best camera phone pic, but clay bar'd and one coat of Z5 makes the sled look decent...

Looks good. I almost fell over when I saw the first panel after the first coat of Z5. Zaino is sooo unlike anything else I've ever seen.
