Default The power of ZAINO (2002 SS Arctic white)

So I went and paid roughly 154.00$ on a lot of Zaino products, which has to be the best money I have ever spent toward car care. These pictures do not do their justice compared to in person but some came out pretty good. Let me know your thoughts and reactions.








\/ Ok now these ones are with a few miles of driving \/

Looks good. How about some direct sun pics? The sun never lies about paint.

Yeah I know what you're saying. Somehow when I get it in the sun and take pictures it looks like one big white car with no demension. I could try again though tomorrow after a spray of the z6.

Zaino kicks ***, i will always use their products on my car. with about 2+ coats, your car can be dirty as hell and as soon as it rains all the dirt falls right off.

Thanks, I'm trying to get more pictures but at the moment the weather doesn't look like it wants to cooperate. I think tomorrow it should be a lot nicer out with much more sun.

looks real nice....I imagine white has to be one of the most difficult shades to show off shine in pics, but you did it. nice work.

Wow, looks incredible. It's exactly what I was looking for when I was in the market. Too bad I ended up with silver

Well see the problem is some steps need to be accomplished in the shade/ area when sun isn't beating down on the car for instance the clay baring process. Here's how it goes. Complete Dawn wash, Clay bar the whole car with a mix of the zaino and water as your lubricant, then a full wash of the car with the zaino wash, after you're finished then you can move onto your wax's with the z6 or z8 gloss spray between coats. I have the FX kit which speeds up the drying process for the wax So i only have to wait 30 min. I did three coats z5 , z5, z2. Z2 always has to be the last. And then I did the z8 at the very end because it's the best stuff out there for a gloss. So yeah to your question lol, approx 10 hours. I checked every section of the car for dirt and grime, took my time doing it right. And couldn't see the car move untill I was finished. I broke it up into 3 days since work and the sun interfere with 10 hours straight for me.
