Default Spring cleaning (56K ok... I guess)

After 5 days of hibernation plus



Spring cleaning finally completed and went out for a little photo shooting.

WIP:
1 layer of Z1 & Z2


plus Z6 (same light)


After 1 layer of Z1 and 3 layers of Z2 & Z6


















And this guy came by...


That's a mothers clay bar btw, very easy to use!! If you are planning to use clay bar, definitely word of advise (which I read it off from H-T), split the clay bar in 2 (if not 3) pieces and use one, just in case you drop it. (cause I did, which the 'extra' one save the day! )

Zaino gets a for its ease to apply & buff (wipe is a better word) off. However, the waiting time for drying & between layers of Z2 definitely is a (recommanded 24 hours between eacy layer of Z2) might consider using the ZFX (an addictive add to Z2 to reduce the waiting time) next time around. I used Meguiars 3 steps for the pass 2 years, I think Zaino does a better job In terms of shineiness. (well less elbow gease required, that's for sure!)

Damn.... with all those hard work but still don't get the same shine as those black Rs. makes me wanna trade for a black one

Your hands must be dead tired!! Zaino is the bomb

Definately order some ZFX before your next application, speeds the process up VERY nicely.

I thought it was fairly easy to use unless sunlight hit any of the spots that I was working on. In the shade, no problems, but in the sun it was a f'ing bitch to buff off. Not even direct sunlight, or a hot day. Mothers claybar =

I've used meguiar's products (the professional products) in the past and I think they're better.

BlAxNaIl - apply/buff off takes little time, but with waiting time, my car was in the garage for 5 days.

RJ. - True, I have always been using those red bottles meguiar's (regular) and I've heard/seen good result from the professional series.

TypeRPaul - Just as bad in white and it shows every bit of dirt!!

I would tend to agree with RJ.......i just did the three-step Meguiars this past weekend and i was simply amazed at how well my paint looks now. Meguiars

Really? What kind of wax/method did you use? Care to show some result? Just wanna know how it's done.

btw, 60F is not too cold, it's about the same temp when I did mine.

the ZFX is not used to speed up the drying time although that is one of the perks. you are suppose to use it regardless to properly apply the wax.

Great Job!! Car looks perfect. I still have yet to use Zaino products, but they definitely did their job on your car.

-Larkin who will probably stick to Pinnacle and Klasse products

then you'd take it out of the garage and within 5 minutes regret your decision.

black kaa's are the suck.
