Here's a 3/4 view.
Z1: 2 thin coats.
Z2: 3 thin coats.
I let it bake in the sun for 1.5 hours. Since the sun was at an angle I turned the car around after 45 minutes. In a futile effort, this morning I grabbed my car cover and threw it in the trunk as it was supposed to rain today. It rained on my way to work lol.

Depending on my weekend schedule I am planning on doing my 8 this weekend (red not black so it will almost assuredly be less dramatic) but I can do before Zaino and after Zaino shots with my digicam.

Thanks for the advice. My 8 is black so it looks fantastic clean, but ugh, it's a constant effort to keep it that way. I'm thinking that going the Zaino route may be best. Should help me build up my biceps too.

To save yourself some grief, might I suggest you just wait for the WAX to wear off? You already did all the work, and it looks good, so wait a few months and then Zaino it instead of re-waxing.

Good point Genom, except up here in PA it will be getting pretty cold soon and Zaino seems to be very temperature sensitive. I ordered the starter kit, got special towels, so I think I'll enjoy the wax shine for a couple weeks, then do-the-zaino.

Used Dawn (three times) then the full Zaino treatment. Looks like its been coated in clear oil. Beautiful.
Superfan: I thought I read the Zaino directions that said not to put more than three coats of Z2, Z5 in a 24 hour period. Yet it didn't seem to bother your results. Also, I don't think baking in the sun will make any difference. With the accelerator, when it's dry, it's done (about 15 minutes). For what it's worth...
