Well I claybarred for 4 hours, applied two coats of Z5. Gonna do more coats of Z2 later this week, just gotta get some nicer weather and an open schedule. Anyway, here's some pics.

 

Looks good man!

What's up with your driver side door? It doesn't line up with the rear fender at the top.

 

4 hours of claybar??? Is that what it normally takes??

 

Looks good, I might hafta try some of that stuff in the spring. But whats up with the door?

 

Looks great Bry!!!

 

Other than the door issue it looks good

 

Dang, I wish that door wasn't so noticable. When I bought the car, the skin was torn from the shell at the top. Not sure what caused it. I've done tons of crap to try and fix it, alas nothing has worked thus far. Tried using regular crazy glue, that lasted the longest for about a month and a half, but alas that broke too. Tried using JB Weld and that broke within a few days. Took it to a bodyshop and had them use some sort of glue that he said would fix it, glue broke in a few weeks. Problem is that when the door closes, the very top of the window has too much "outward" pressure from the weatherstripping/rubber doorjam/insert the correct term for it here, so with the window having the pressure outwards, it pushes the skin out too. Really sucks, had the car 2.5 years now and I thought for sure the bodyshop could fix it, but alas nothing's worked. One guy I know mentioned having to do adjustments to the window tracking and such, I'm almost tempted to just find a driverside red door and swap it so I get a "fresh" door rather than a "broken-but-fixed" door... but then I'd have to have it painted to blend in and all that fun stuff.

Anywho, thanks for the compliments guys. I'm really not THAT impressed with the Zaino, in all honesty, just because the shine is about the same as that when the paint was washed with dawn, but the durability is what will be my final determining factor.

 

For most people probably not, I had tar and ashphalt all over my car (I swear my car was almost polka dotted lol) so it took me a long time do get it all off, the sides between the wheel well took me an hour each, and the rear bumper and such took me about an hour and a half. The nose, hood, and front fender were practically spotless.

 

Yup,looks good,is that factory paint??

And it also takes me hours and hours to anally clay my car.

 

Everything's factory except for the ground effects, front bumper, hood, and spoiler (Or should I say the only thing that wasn't painted was the doors, rear qtr, and hatch? ). They also blended my front fenders and my rear bumper, but I'm not entirely sure what all they did to blend it, just noticed some rock chips were magically fixed

 

Looks great. I love Zaino!

 

dont worry meissenation, your door shell problem is but a beauty mark on an otherwise hot *** ride!!! its not that noticable either.

 

I know a guy.... lol .... that runs a 4th gen camaro/firebird salvage place and he has lots and lots of red camaro doors. If you want to know about what you could replace it for, check with him.

I dont think there are any sponsors that are salvage people... if so and this link is deleted just send me a PM.

I would try some kind of ridiculous epoxy. If you get the right stuff you can glue anything to anything. But otherwise the car looks great!

 

I love zaino, that **** is awsome. I have been using it for 3 years now, and will never use anything else.

 

i need to get some zaino for when it gets warmer, i wonder what stuff i'll need, guess i'll have to search for it one of these days, i know theres probably a ton of info on it

 

Thanks for the compliments guys, very much appreciate it! I'm gonna work more on the door down the road to see what I can do to fix it, really annoying as it is right now, but I have way too many projects to do still and running out of time to do it.

 

Wow, I don't think I've ever spent more than an hour or so claybarring. I use bug and tar remover for all the tar specs and other crap that get behind the wheels on the body and also on the front bumper. That stuff takes it off much easier. Looks damn good though, I must say. What is the Z2, a polish or what? I remember some people using their scratch/swirl remover stuff a while back and that looked absolutely amazing in what it took out.

 

Looks real good

 

Nice man. Hope you find a way to fixing your door problem. Either way though you car looks clean.
