Default PCed and Zainoed a buddies 2002 NHRA TA

I did some work on a friend's (Physco Steve) 2002 NHRA TA this week. He just got the car a couple months ago and it looks like the former owner loved automatic car washes. It took some work but the results were worth it! Its been raining all week so the drive ways a mess...so again pics outside the garage is the best I could do (and its a PIA to take good pics of a black car!)

I took the conservative approach because I didn't want to over correct anything on someone elses car. SO the steps were:

Wash With Dawn
Zaino Clay Bar
PC yellow pad with Poor Boys Stage 2 Swirl Remover
PC orange pad with Poor Boys Stage 2
PC white pad with Poor Boys Stage 2
PC white pad with Zaino Fusion
PC black pad with Meg Show Car Glaze
PC Blue Pad with Meg Show Car Glaze
PC Red Pad with Zaino All In One
Zaino Z5 x 3
Zaino Z2
Zaino Z6 Detailer


I am far from a pro but it worked great on his car. It did take some time but the results were worth it.

DO NOT use Megs show car glaze with Zaino. It's full of oils and will hurt the bonding of Zaino. Hopefully the cleaners in ZAIO removed the oils.

Cool, its a simple install but if you need any help give me a call. The only tricky part is swapping the bung for the air temp sensor..it can be a pain sometimes.
