thanks guys, i have some larger shots, but the further away from the car you get, the less reflectivity there seems to be, so i go from mirror shine to shiney black lol...here are some full sized shots, OH and i havent released any shots yet but i do belive that I am the first bird with chrome c6 replicas as well, even more eye candy for you guys. Hope this doesnt get everyone interested and make mine any less unique Lol

Looks nice...why NXT over Zaino? Did you use FP, too?

I think your car is confused...Formula front and spoiler, Firehawk hood, and Trans Am bumper...

Unless I'm mistaken you should use the wax(NXT in this case) before putting the Zaino on since Zaino is a sealant. Think of it as sealing all your hard work in.

That is wrong. Zaino will only bond to a bare surface. You want your sealant first, and then if you feel the need to top it, you put something over the sealant. If you are going to try topping, I would suggest a carnauba wax instead of another sealant.

NXT does have some cleaners and abrasives, so it may have removed some of the Zaino. NXT is also a type of a sealant.

My bad, wasn't sure on that as I don't use any thing to top the Zaino with. Thanks for letting me know that though.

Looks nice. Too bad you got ratted out. I would have never known it wasn't a V8. It doesn't matter though, you're car looks great!

good toppers would be Pinnacle Souveran or P21S(S100 is the same but cheaper, usually you can find it at any Harley shop). Pinnacle is THE best for a black car. Yeah, why top Zaino with another Polymer Sealant. Go get you a pure carnauba, and tell us how it goes.
