Default Detail: SOM SS - Zaino

This was my first try at using the Zaino system and let me say i am extremely happy at how well it turned out and how easy it was to use.

Here is what I have done so far.

1. Washed the Car with Dawn
2. Used the Z18 clay with the Z car wash/water mix in a spray bottle
3. Washed the Car with Dawn again
4. Applied Z5 with Z6 Gloss Enhancer to keep the pad moist
5. Let dry for about 30 minutes, coats where thin, could barely tell it was on the paint.
6. After cleaning all the Z5 off, I went around with another towel and sprayed on Z6
7. Tomorrow I will put on the Z2

Here are some pictures... Sorry for all the pics, couldn't decide which ones to post.

Updated Pics with removal of stickers,VHT corners etc.

Wow. The car looks great, man. I still haven't tried Zaino myself yet but damn that stuff looks awesome!
Also I checked out the YouTube clip, your car sounds really nice.
Great job.

Awesome man. Sounds like you liked it, huh? I did the same with my car.. Z2, Z5, Z2, Z5, Z2. I love it.

Looks like you have an awesome area to do the car, nice and shady.

oh yea for sure.. I can't wait to get the Z2 on, this is just Z5 with the Z6 enhancer..

The area I have on my Driveway is covered by 3 50 year old Maple Tree's.. Let me tell you, they are a pain in the ***.. When I say HUGE, I mean HUGE.. Come fall time there are probably 500k leaves Ive also had to redo my grass probably 3 times. Now I have finally found a good Shade seed from Scotts so my grass doesn't die from zero sun..

Looks great man. I work next to a car wash that uses zaino products I'm very happy with everything they do for my car. Trust me the more you layer the longer it shines.

What kind of "black" is that on your berger panel? I was thinking of painting mine gloss black so it would match the roof, but I really like how yours looks.

Very nice car.

Very nice car.
It is Satin black, IMO the berger should not be gloss.. It is supposed to offset the gloss of the regular paint.. I've seen a few gloss ones that don't look bad, but I think the Satin looks best.
