98 TT Supra 700+rwhp detail by Immaculate Relfections

I used some tonight on another vehicle cause I wanna use up the bottle and just be done with the stuff. Now sitting here thinking I may zaino the vehicle and use up the z2 I've got as I really would just rather use z5 on my truck. Keeps the swirls at bay and I just like it better. Now here's my question. I'm not going to rewash this vehicle but whaddya think about z1 followed up with z2 on it? Will the ihg keep the zaino from bonding properly? After using zaino on my ride for so long now, going back to wax or anything else for that matter ain't gonna happen. It goes on and off sooooo easy. Not to mention the friggin stuff beads like crazy for eternity.

Lemme know

The Imperial Hand Glaze may very well affect bonding. Strip it and apply the Zaino products on a clean and product free surface. Laters.

I would not use the IHG with Zaino or Klasse. Chances are that it will affect the bonding. And I remember Ron saying that IHG contains some kind of solvents that can actually eat way at sealants like Zanio or Klasse.

 

[PETER GIANNONE]

yes, it will effect bonding. wash the vehicle with dawn before applying the z1,z2 or z5 combo

Hey guys, this beast of a car came to me through someone on a local car forum. A few weeks ago I met with the owner to discuss options for some work on his car. He wanted it prepped for a car show in southern CA in Feb. The car was in pretty good shape, so we decided on a 1-2 stage correction for the exterior only for moment. Later in the year the car will be dropped off again for some major work to find every single imperfection and work it until 100% perfect, likely to be a several day project. However for now it was just a light correction and prep for the show.

This car is an absolute beast. Its still a stock bottom end, but that?s it. Everything else has been modified. On pump gas makes over 600rwhp, and on 104 octane making over 700rwhp on very low boost and super conservative tune. An amazing clutch and crazy suspension setup too. Guages to monitor everything and a stereo big enough to shatter your bones! A Brembo big brake kit behind the nice wheels and a custom carbon fiber hood and spoiler and Top Secret rear diffuser. Needless to say, a LOT of work has gone into this Supra.

Rocks picked up by the rear diffuser

You know you?re hood is super light weight carbon fiber when its nearly transparent!

Two bucket method for washing of course?

Foaming to remove as much dirt as possible before washing

Some pics of swirls

50/50 shot after some light polishing (not finished product)

A previous detailer/bodyshop burned through the paint on the door handle. To prevent any further damage they were completely taped off. Also rear marker lights were burned (likely by the same person) and owner bought new ones to replace them once the car got home.

Light swirls on the roof

Some hard water etching can be seen here
