What pad/speed did you use to apply the Zaino?

i used the blue finishing pad from sonax and the speed i used was arond 3, and at time i would bump it upto 5 to it would apply thinner.

i bet it wouldve looked even better if u wouldve polished the paint a little. dawn doesnt polish. it only removes oils

ya ur right, but this needs more hten polishing, the whole car needs to b wetsanded with 1500grit sandpaper and compunded. cuz hte idiot that paintd the car didnt do it.

Maybe one day ill get around to it

nice work.. i always applied zaino with my pc.. speed 3 or 4 . I too find you can stretch out its thin coat, to even thinner ,with better drying time and just seems to break down and mix in a lot better..

Thanks,

Your right about zaino with pc tho, i sprayed the pad with z6 and then on i went w z2,and it was the easiest thing ever.What i also noticed was that right after i applied hte zaino with the pc, and would do the "swipe test" to see if it came right off, the stuff would just wipe off smooth. I still waited about 25-30 min per coat tho.

So, to all those who use zaino and have a pc, give it a try u wont be dissapointed :up

At least it shines now, right?



Probably best to leave any heavy polishing til spring anyway. Winter is hard on finishes so much of your hard work might end up being undone and need to be redone in a few months.
