thats a real good idea, we all know how hard wax is on the black plastic

Beautiful tape job, but zaino is good for clear plastic like headlights and clearcorners.

NgoRX8 05-08-2006 10:54 PM

looks clean. good job.

Raptor2k 05-08-2006 11:00 PM

overachiever ;)

cleoent 05-08-2006 11:12 PM

I thought you did a blue mod for a second too :rofl:

Brice-RX8 05-09-2006 08:22 AM

Yeah staticlag is right, you can use zaino on the clear plastic and on the windows. I would have kept the tape on the dull black plastic though. Looks great!

Looks great! Don't forget to use Z2 last when using both Z2 and Z5. From their website…

"You can go from Z-2 PRO to Z-5 and then back to Z-2 PRO as often as you want. Z-2 PRO and Z-5 are 100% compatible and interchangeable. You should always end with Z-2 PRO as the last coat because of its higher optics."

Looks awesome Newcastle!! You should have called me man, I would have helped you out...

Yep, make sure you follow this rule. It DOES make a difference

Jedi54 05-09-2006 12:30 PM

So what are your thoughts on it Newcastle?

What do you think of the shine? Smooth enough? Worth spending the majority of a day doing?

newcastle 05-09-2006 02:21 PM

The Zaino polish kit came with instructions and I followed them (they ddin't mention anything about Z2 for the last coat......perhaps I got some out dated info.). I will check out their website and retain Z2 for the last coat for future applications. Thanks for the heads up and thank all of you for the compliments.

Yeah I was thinking about calling you but it was a last minute deal and I had to bust a$# before I lost what little sun I had, i'll give you a call for the second coat. At first i wasnt impressed with the product but then after the 2nd application of Z6 the "liquid glass" appearance staRted to reveal its self. Deffinatly worth the money and hard work.

Do you have any Z8?

If not, give me a call before you do the next appliation. That stuff is AWESOME if you put on a little bit of that as a "finishing touch"

newcastle 05-09-2006 07:36 PM

NOOOOOOOOOOO I dont have Z8!!

Jedi54 05-09-2006 07:51 PM

oh man, you think Z6 is awesome stuff?? wait till you get a load of Z8!

It's what I had just put on when you saw me the day of the RX cruise. Gives it a super deep shine and makes it soooo smooth. No worries though, I'll bring some over next time.

hedgecore 05-10-2006 10:22 AM

Just got the Z8 myself...won't have time to try it for a few days though...have to do a full wash, as i seem to have driven through a swarm of insects the other day :(

BTW: Zaino isn't wax, and it comes off of the plastic trim/heads/tails quite easily!

Nothing like wresteling with wax! Sweet!

Jedi54 05-10-2006 10:47 AM

Z8 also smells really yummy! Don't apply it when you're hungry... could have bad results. :)
