Finally tried Zaino. I've been very skepitcal about the product but figured what the hell and gave it a shot. Wow is all i can say. I did a claybar, then 3 coats of z5 and 3 coats of z2, between all the coats i did a coating of z6.
Results

Looks like you just rolled off the assembly line!



Great Job, how long did the entire process take?

Any Buffing Required??

No buffing required, everything is done by hand. Whole process took about 5 to 5 1/2 hours. That includes a wash, claybar, wash, then the 3 layers of z5 and 3 layers of z2 with zfx. The zfx cuts down drying time. It takes about a half hour to dry could be longer or shorter depending on humidity.

awesome. People thought black cars are hard to detail, but my red car is hard as **** to keep clean, and swirls like to show.


I was looking for the best wax for a RED car, and i foud that Turtle wax Color Cure(RED) and im weary about it(says to wash your hands immediatley after using...?)


Just like Zymol Carbon is great for dark cars, is there a wax for red cars??

Sorry if i accidently hi jacked your thread.

I love Zaino. A few weeks ago I spent the weekend doing my dads Corvette and posted picture on the corvette forum and I got a PM from Sal Zaino saying how great my dads Vette looks
