Hi guys,

As some of you may have seen, I posted a questions about bringing my clearcoated BMW wheels back to life. Well, ZAIO and ZCS were the solution! Check out these photos and see what you think.



I will be fully detailing her in about 3 weeks.



Today's Process:

-Wash with NXT via the Autogeek Foam Gun/Griot's Sheepskins

-Dry with Viper Waffle Weave

-QD with Zaino Grand Finale

-All black exterior trim dressed with Poorboy's Trim Restorer



Wheels Got:

-Wash with Foam Gun

-2 Coats of ZAIO

-1 Coat of ZCS

-Zaino Tires Shine

Sorry, some of the pictures were washed out. I'm looking for a new digital camera.



Zaino Impressions:

I think that ZAIO and ZCS have incredible potential. I don't know if I put ZCS on correctly, since I didn't notice a ton of difference after applying ZAIO. The wheels feel incredibly slick and are pretty shiny. Overall, very easy to use and great results.



Hopefully the Zaino "Twins" will make brake dust cleanup easier in the future.





Thanks for looking! :2thumbs:
 
I don't think you need a new camera, that's just the way the autoexposure is going to work with that subject under those lighting conditions. If you want it to come out differently you will need to manually adjust your exposure settings.
 
Looking good!!!



I find that with ZAIO and CS on wheels, you can pretty much do quick washes with car wash soap and not have to resort to harsh cleaners. If you have stock BMW pads on your car, that should help you out alot.
 
Actually, based purely on the name, I think Clear Seal works perfectly on the vehicles I have tried it on. It seems to lock in the look you have after polishing or whatever sealant or carnauba you have on already. IMO, based on what I have read here and plus my own use, the results you got are the intention of the product.



Your car looks really good, love that flake shot! :)
