I finally got around to washing the car. That Zaino stuff really lives up to the hype, but man, it took forever!

My car isn't black, btw.

 

I <3 Zaino. Looks great man. Currently have about 12 coats on my TB.

 

looks great i just washed/waxed my evo today as well only to find out that T-storms are coming ...ill just have to do it again tomorrow

 

Holy smokes! 12 coats! You could use your car as a nuclear fallout shelter or something.

 

you zaino'd your evo9 already !!

 

Now gently run the back of your hand down a portion of the paint. It feels like it's coated with Teflon. It's amazing how slick Zaino is.

Get your self a clear bra while that thing doesn't have any stone chips in it. I kick myself regularly for not doing mine.

 

About 4 other spots for anyone else that wants to live .

 

That looks unreal. How many coats and which zaino product did you specifically use?

 

Man, it took a lot of work, mostly because this was the first time I used the system. The next time should be a lot faster and easier.

1) Used liquid solution Dawn to strip everything off of it. Toweled dry.
2) Went over it with Z-18 ClayBar with a Z-7 solution.
3) Washed it using Z-7™ Show Car Wash. Toweled dry.
4) Waxed it with Z-2 Pro Polish and let it dry overnight (mostly because I was dead tired.)
5) Removed wax with cotton towel and applied Z-6™ Ultra Clean Gloss Enhancer Spray.
6) Remembered I had the ZFX additive and used with the Z-2 Pro for a 2nd coat.
7) Finished it off with more Z-6.
8) Washed the wheels and applied Z-16™ Perfect Tire Gloss.

I still have some of the ZFX mixture left, so I'm debating whether or not I should wax the rims.

 

Man you should have rocked out with the Z-5, too. Unless, of course, your car has absolutely NO swirls on it, which is unlikely even since it's brand new. 4 or 5 coats of that and literally every single small scratch and swirl is gone. Just a thought....

 

wow that car looks amazing! post some high res pics so I can use it as my background!!

 

heh nice...looks like you worked awhile on polishin your baby up!

 

Thanks.. Just tell me which one, and I'll email it to you. The originals are 3072x2048 and1.5-2.5MB each.

Hmm... I didn't notice any swirls. Maybe I wasn't looking hard enough.

 

LOL the reason why zaino worked so well is that your car is BRAND NEW
