Did I mention that most of that is original factory paint and the car has almost 160k on her and still running strong. I used 2 coats of Z2 with the spray between each coat. Then used 2 coats of Z5. After this I finished everything off with a light polish from my microfiber towels. And Dansbird as long as I have the formula front and rear end it is still a formula. The TA hatch is not neccessarily moving from the formula line. Look at Vert TA's they have the formula hatch to so if the TA's can have a formula style hatch then why can't I have a TA style hatch. Plus I have the same ls1 you TA guys have minus the weight so I need some downforce for my *** just like the rest of you.

I never said there was anything w/ what you were doing... it looks good. I just thought if you were "representing formulas", you would fully represent it as a formula, instead of having people scratch their head "is that a formula, or a trans am... hell, it could be a v6 w/ a trans am spoiler". And as far as the TA Verts go... they came w/ that spoiler.


either way... the car looks good. congrats

Zaino is a really durable, very shiney sealant. Wax is typically based on carnuba, while Zaino (and other sealants) is based on an acrylic. Good stuff.

Oh, and the original poster's car looks great! Nice work.
