I'll post pics of the entire car when I find a nice spot at dawn or dusk.

Nice. And with the black, I actually prefer the orange corner lights.

thanks for the compliments!

I didn't want my wife's car to be left out, so I spent the weekend repeating the whole process on it:

Idle thoughts while detailing:
- Lexus' graphite gray pearl is stunning in person up close
- Z2 takes a lot more elbow grease to buff out than Z5
- the IS's inline 6 makes getting around town effortless, but only with a muted growl compared to the renesis
- cotton towel lint + static cling from detailed surface is annoying
- never lend your keys to someone to unload the trunk; do it yourself
- Mazda's paint is way softer than Lexus (not related to above, really)

Those are impressive photos showing how reflective the surface is! Amazing actually.

The guys on this forum are putting up a pretty good argument for spending $90 of car wax. Wife will not be happy.

NgoRX8 05-23-2007 09:27 PM

nice toys too. :rofl:

She'll be happy if you use it to detail -her- car.

Kinda like roses. But different.

Raptor2k 05-23-2007 11:57 PM

Yeah, that's it. I'm gonna make sure my next car is black.

Why?

It's good stuff. Take care of those swirl marks though.

altspace 05-24-2007 05:29 AM

Also, if you think Zaino does a brilliant job, you ought to try this stuff. www.jeffswerkstatt.com

MazdaJeff 06-04-2007 01:53 PM

Wow! That is one clean car. It looks GREAT!

Well done.

Rhythmic 06-04-2007 03:38 PM

Thats what my BB 8 needs to be lookin like. Well done.

Is that just the Z5 zaino? What else did you use?

i thought the orange corners were just fine too, until i made the switch to clear, now the orange is just weird to me?
