Im a newbie to all these "expensive brands" because i was stuck using cheap "professional" products for the last couple years :sosad , but any way, after a lot of reading, what do you guys think of this . (please give me constructive criticism if you think i can get a better look) btw , i like the deep wet look.



Wash

Clay

SIP

106ff

alcohol wipedown

Z AIO

Z-5 Pro

ZFX'd Z-2 Pro

Z-CS

Z-8



is this overkill??? would any of you OMIT, or change around the steps? let me know guys, thanks
 
I dont consider myself a Z guy but yes that is an awesome combo and your car will look ridiculous(in a good way) afterwards....dont forget to give us some pics on that monster
 
Im new to this stuff as well and is this a good overall combo for silver? Also what is SIP? I keep hearing about it and good stuff at that, but dont know what it is.

Is this your car? Or for a customer? It sounds like a lot of product applications for a silver car.



Here's a Titanium Silver BMW 645Ci I recently completed with:

Wash + Clay

System One X3 Polish/Compound with Wool, then X3 with foam for polishing

Meguiar's #21

OR, if you want to use Zaino products (excellent BTW), here's a black Viper I did with the following:



Wash + clay

System One X3 with wool pad for correction, then X3 with foam for polishing

Z5 Pro

Z8 Final Buff

They both turned out great and the customers are very happy with the results.

Lighter colors can really shine, but sometimes not as much as say black. I had a Pewter vette a long time ago and while it did shine, it clearly didn't reflect like black does.

durrrrrr



But anyways, that setup looks awsome!!! SIP+ 106ff is known as the holy grail around here... and as a matter of fact, in the Click and Brag, there was a silver bimmer done, not too long ago, with this exact combo. Check it out. I don't know if you need Z-AIO, especially with all the following coats, but its up to you. Most of your shine will be coming out of your polish, and the following LSPs are going to enhance it like none other :cool:
