Black Camaro, Black Cobra, Black Mach1, and Silver 4Runner - many pics

[ZaneO]

Here are some details from this past week. Hope you all enjoy them.



The owner of this Camaro recently removed some stripes, and there was some scratching and swirling from that process. The rest of the finish had moderate-heavy swirling. I was able to remove about 85% of the defects.



Process:



Zaino Z7 wash

Zaino Z18 clay with DP 4-in-1 as lube

3M Perfect-It Rubbing Compound 06062 via light cutting pad at 1700 rpm

Menzerna PO106FF via polishing pad at 1500 rpm

Zaino Z5 Pro by hand

Zaino Z8

Zaino Z16 on tires and trim

After:

This 2003 Cobra (10th Anniversary) has been upgraded with a twin turbo setup from HPP Racing and makes about 800 rwhp on 19 lbs. of boost. He requested a "good ole waxing" so that's what he got



It was getting dark by the time I finished, so I'll shoot some better pictures this coming weekend.

Next up was a very well maintained Mach1. The owner wanted help dealing with some light swirling and preparation for an upcoming car show. It turned out about 95% defect-free.

Stunning work as always Zane. :bow



That Cobra is a BEAST!!!!

 

[imported_Nimble]

Nice work! and yeah that Cobra IS a beast!

 

[imported_DieselMDX]

wow nice cars and even better details

 

[Metallistar]

:bow :bow :bow :wow:



Holy twin turbos batman! That thing must be a rocket in the 1/4

Very nice work! Sorta surprised that you only topped 1 of them with ClearSeal - I'd have thought that CS on top of Z5Pro on the dark colors would really hve enhanced the flavor.

 

[imported_Dave11]

Very nice work......:2thumbs:





Dripping wet final products. The hood on that Camaro turned out great.

Z5p is some awesome stuff......

 

[imported_Totoland Mach]

Stunning Work! I especially like the Mach as an owner of a Dark Shadow Gray one myself. That Cobra outta Honk!

Superb work as always! :bow



The Camaro and 1st Mustang were really swirled, excellent job getting both virtually defect free.

The dark cars are impressive no doubt but I'm more amazed at how well the 4runner came out with just the two Z products. I take off my hat to you from the other end of the state sir.

Awesome work on all of the cars, What mods are on the Mach?! I've heard that the HPP Kit performs fairly well, but that it lacks some of the quality that is provided by THP/HP...Personally I think the THP kit looks better

And from what I've heard, the kit performs a little better, but not that it really matters, because the Cobra is still nasty as ****!!!!!!!

 

[imported_rydawg1]

Great job Zane...Wow that mustang and Cobra came out great. I miss mine so much. But for a quickie 1 and a half step process that came out superb. You answered my question...I was thinking today what ZAIO an CS looked like on a silver car. My fist is in my mouth....WOW!

 

[gmblack3]

Excellent work on the blacks as usual Zane, I am also impressed with the 4runner.

 

[mgm2003]

Stunning!:goodjob



You always produce top notch work Zane. Great job and thanks for sharing!



You have a few *killer* shots in that post that definitely stand out vs. most other 'click & brag' posts.



WOW!:bow :bow :bow :bow :bow :bow :bow :bow :bow :bow

I really appreciate all of the great comments!!

The Mach has ported/polished heads, SH cams, full bolt-ons, etc.



I'm not too familiar with the THP stuff, but I can say that the HPP kit is very nice, and Manny was extremely meticulous with making everything perfect. With a more aggressive tune and 25 lbs., this car could make over 1000 rwhp.

Where did they go?

 

[ZaneO]

Where did they go?

Haha...some of them are there and some aren't. That's weird.

bandwith > you



Looks like you need to drop some money on photobucket or wait till next month for people to view the pics.



I wish I could see them. They are all down.
