That is very very nice. It's great that someone cares enough about their car to care for it like that. I wish I lived in a place where I could keep my car that clean.

Some of you guys are idiots. I'm sure those coats were applied over years, not all at once. You can build Zaino up on top of itself. If any of you applauded Todd on his polishing work, but make fun of this guy, you are a fool. There is no difference in it. Myself, I would rather have the exterior of my car look that nice than the engine bay be blinding. Not to take away from Todd's polishing, just my preference.

He should have stopped at 302...lol, 303 is simply over the top! Did he really count - I think that's what concerns me. Who in the hell keeps track anyway!?! <img border="0" alt="[jester]" title="" src="graemlins/gr_jest.gif" />

I'm sure Todd doesn't polish his engine parts 303 times. The scary part is the 3, not 300...30 3. Weird.

Car looks great though. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="gr_grin.gif" /> I'm sure 4 or 5 coats would do the same thing.

Give me a break all you haters! I swear. This guy takes great pride in his car and you call him a loser? WTH! I know a lot of people that wash their car every weekend. If he washed every weekend with 3 coats of zaino (only about 2 hrs of work) it would take about 2 years to get 303 coats applied. Geez people. And whoever said it wasn't that shiny, I hope you're kidding. The car looks great.

What difference does it make if this guy wants to polish his car 3, 303, or 3,003 times??? Its his damn car. Sure its complete overkill, but at least he cares. Some people are just obsessive when it comes to certain things/possessions(sp?). Just because its not necessary, don't be a hater. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Roll Eyes]" src="images/icons/rolleyes.gif" />

BTW, as someone who has already applied many coats of Zaino on his Camaro, I can tell you right now that the shine is just as good with ONE coat versus ten. But that is for each of us to decide. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="gr_images/icons/wink.gif" />

i think some people are taking this post to seriously.

I wash my car every weekend, and i throw on a coat or 2. I just think its funny that he is i guess counting the coats as he puts them on.

i wonder what his goal is? <img border="0" alt="[jester]" title="" src="graemlins/gr_jest.gif" />

I guess thats great he loves his car that much, but really..i would rather count the RWHP my car slamms down..and post it
