yah, detailing for me generally takes all day too... i wash, dry, porter cable (buff), porter cable (polish), wax, then air dust... 7 or 8 hours of work and it stays clean for a day or two... <sigh> well, my goal is to try to eventually be able to do the entire thing in 4 hours. practice makes perfect.

the Z6 and Z8 are a spray so I use an ultra fine microfiber cloth to apply / remove that.

the Z6 is a quick detailer / UV protectant. You mist on just a TINY bit, and wipe dry. (Z8 is very similar)

The Z2 and Z5 are polish compounds. (Z5 is good for dark cars / covering up fine scratches)
You put it on, by the time you get around the car, it's ready to be taken off.

Jedi: Where do you get your Zaino products?

I've been wanting to buy some Zaino stuff but the price is sooo expensive. I really like Meguiar's NXT and it works great for my silver 8. Is the difference really that great?

there's supposed to be a zaino store in LA somewhere where you can go to buy it. I get mine directly from Zaino.

Those bastards should sponsor me already...

I just posted in your thread. Whatever happened? Did the dealership fix it?

Zaino's Total Protection Kit is your friend...

Hmmm, something tells me XdeedubbX is helping Lamborghini design it's new vehicles...

A large carbon-fiber wing. Two carbon-fiber bucket seats.
Lamborghini has shaved over 200 pounds off the standard Gallardo's weight, thanks to liberal applications of carbon fiber
Carbon fiber also is used on such other items as the rearview mirrors, door panels, rear diffuser, and transmission tunnel.


The interior of our test car had the aforementioned Alcantara-covered carbon-fiber seats, no radio, no storage pockets anywhere, and an Alcantara-covered carbon-fiber steering wheel
