Zaino CS and painted calipers

Nothin' crazy, just wanted to share pics. I really love Zaino CS. Is a great "in between Zaino's" application that really gets it super slick and a deep shine.

Also with the Advans wanted to get rid of the ol' rusty hubs so painted the calipers black.

^ thanks, just on regular MS suspension. the back has always sat nice and low . the front from some angles looks lower than others but seems to have settled in the year + i've had it.

Looks good. If you can, adjust the ISO setting lower on your camera. Way to much noise in the photo to see your nice smooth color.

thanks guys. Altspace- yeah, i the tough thing about my little canon sdpower shot is that the led screen doesn't pic up the noise. i get inside, put it on my computer and there it is. i have played with the iso before and forgot to lower it.

thanks everyone for the comments-

the rx8 is a decal from xenonmods.com. I ordered some from Polak too and they could've worked just as well, but the xenonmods one are a bit larger and fit the caliper nicely.

zaino CS truly rocks. while all of the zainos are great, CS is the only one in my opinion that leaves spot free shine after SEVERAL rains even in the hot sun.

its crazy. we had storms here yesterday in VA and I drove home and my car literally looks as if i just washed it still.

awesome, I was looking for the rx-8 brake caliper decal for the longest time. Since currently polakgraphics is in transition phase to new owner, there won't be decals from them in awhile. A guy from the Toronto mazda 3 forum tried to do the rx-8 decals, but failed cause they were too small for the vinyl needle cutter that he had.

I didn't know there was a THIRD SUPPLIER of such decals, so I just ordered some from xenonmods.com.

$7.99 for 18 of them.
6 mazda text
6 mazda logos
6 (your choice of 3, 5, Rx-8, miata)...

What a great deal!
Oh, did I forget to mention $1.00 shipping ANYWHERE IN THE WORLD?

yeah, xenon mods had great service, and i love that they send all the various mazda logos.

the rx-8 one fits nicely on the front caliper...the back one has juuuust enough room since the rear caliper is smaller, but it looks nice.

You can choose from 20+ different shades of color. They are indeed elite.

and no, I do not work for xenonmods to do this kind of advertisement ahahaha

Also.. in your sig.. it's spelled "brake" not "break"
