Talking Super Sunday = ZAINO Day!

The Zaino Master is at it again...
Since I didn't feel like watching 10 hours of pre-game show, I decided to go ahead and do a few new coats of Zaino with fellow forum member Newcastle.

Here's a few quick pictures I took after doing 2 coats of Z2, with Z6 in between coats. How'd we do?

Looks great.

Are the rims on the black 8 polished?
What are the tints on the silver?

The silver 8 should also take out the stickers on the visors

ooooh yeah, I forgot to tell you about those! WOW man, very good catch though, most people wouldn't have noticed. All I gotta say is Kumho MX's FTW. Got about 3,000 miles on them so far and they ROCK.

Believe it or not, NOPE. I need to repaint my calipers and when I get around to taking the wheels off, they'll be getting their first Zaino treatment... (I'll post pics of course)

Dude Jedi. You can't seem to get enough Zaino!

There's nothing more satisfying than waxing up a black car. There a greater sense of "pride of ownership" with people who drive black cars than most cars. I know I was that way with my
black SC400.

Looks awesome. I'd like to see your better than showroom shine in person one day. OC yo!

The silver car looks clean, but that's the thing about silver. It hides dirt well, but it doesn't show
off shine as well as black.

Hey, what's with the Michael's ganging up on me?! We definitely need to set something like this up soon. I'll know tomorrow when my car is going into the body shop for some minor work but any time after I get it back, we should have "The ULTIMATE Zaino showdown!"

someone figure out odds and take side bets.
