My first pet Zaino (warning: large pics)
 

So, I spent the weekend making use of the Zaino kit I got for my birthday (a fitting present if ever there was one)... 6 hours over two days. Wash, clay, wash, Z5, Z5, Z2 (with Z6 as appropriate). Am thinking about 2-3 more coats of Z2 next weekend too... And rims..

Anyway, enough talk, here are the pics:

looks good. :)

eek!

Nice And Chiney!

Nice. You Zaino converts are nuts. Nuts I tell you!

6 hours?

Nice, how many coats?

Thanks for the kudos :-D The above was after 3 coats (2 of Z5, 1 of Z2, with a pass of Z6 after each).

Today I put on two more coats of Z2 and I can still see a very noticeable improvement. I was wondering ... when do people who use Zaino start to see "diminishing returns"? I assume that after a point you just won't see that much of a difference anymore. But what is that point? 5 coats? 10? 20?

Heh.. wonder who has the board record for most coats...

i love the look of zaino....but I just don't ever have the time to use it properly.

What?!?!?!?!

Where's Jedi? I thought he'd reply on here by now....

Exactly! I thought for sure he would have been all over this thread telling his Zaino masteries(?)!

zaino is the shit! the first time i used it I was hooked. Its hard though to justify the cost at first but after you use it, you'll never go back

holy crap at the orange peel on your trunk!!! i would almost take that back to mazda.... i would be wet sanding the hell outa that clear.... otherwise car looks great! :lol2:

Never fear, Jedi is here!

Nicely done Cnn. What did you think of the zaino process? how many drops of zfx did you use?

Organe peel isn't as bad in person.. I think I might have exaggerated it a little bit in post-processing the photo..

The Zaino process rocks! My arm is dead after three coats (since you gotta go over the entire car 9 times), but it's real easy to do and the results are great... I used the full dosage whatever that is (5 drops per ounce??).

Gonna give her some more tomorrow, see if it goes any shinier :lol2:

Wet sand that orange peel away :)

seeing your pictures makes me want to zaino mine again.
One can never have too much Zaino, right?? :D:

You have to Jedi.........................

You are the Zanio Master..............
Must stop the dark side.....

Well I'm probably not going to do any more this year seeing as it's starting to get colder... The current coat should give it decent protection through the winter months.

I can't wait to redo the whole thing from claybar on up next season, with the experience I now have! Should be glorious :lol2:

Willicuddy: wet sand won't hurt the clear coat?

need to get 1, need to get 1 need to get 1 need to get 1 need to get 1 need to get 1

looks good!

Nice, really looks good. Hard labor hours really make your 8 shine!
