Land Rover Discovery in Dark Green

[SilverLexus]

Well this was a big 5 hour+ project. Here was my process:



1. Zaino Z-7 wash after EO All Wheel & Tire on the alloys (agitate for best results)

2. Claying X 2

3. Zaino Z-7 wash

4. Clayed wheels with ClayMagic

5. Z-6 wipedown

6. Polish with PC on "6" X 2 using Z-PC Fusion

7. Z-6 wipedown

8. Zaino Z-5

9. Zaino Z-8

10. Poorboys Trim Restorer

11. ArmorAll Detailers Advantage on all wheels including spare



After polishing the hood:

Results:

The Z-PC really brought out the flake this time. It was a bit dustier than other times I had used it but the dust particles seem to roll off easily after a trip around the block. This, like a lot of Zaino products, is one that seems to go a long way on a little bit. I use three small dots on a cutting pad. I got out 95% of the swirls and greatly minimized two deep scratches that I may take the rotary to later. This is my sister-in-law's car.



We lost the sun so the pics are dark but I will post some sunny day photos tomorrow.

Outstanding!



The hood looks perfecto!

Thanks Sean. My skills with PC are where I want them now and the Z-PC product is a great polish. You can really work it in nicely but it has a different feel than other polishes I am more familiar with. It seems to work perfectly with the rest of the Zaino system.

Looks sweet!



Can't wait to see the sun pics.

Excellent job, Lee.



How would you rate Z-PC's cutting ability to some of the other polishes you have used?

Thanks Rick and Scott.

It's cutting ability seems on par with an SSR2.5 which is my other go-to polish. Kirk sent me some more Menzerna which I will play with soon.

Scott: As a PC user, you will really like Z-PC. Maybe a little pricey, but you use the least I've used of any polish (OCP comes close in amount used, but not in working ability on the PC).

Great job Lee.



In my limited use of ZPC with a PC I have found it to have the same cut as FPII.

Here are some sun shots that are better.

Those flakes are poppin'. Great job.

What a beautiful hood. Perfectly reflective from one angle, and flakes that look pronounced enough to touch from another angle. Good work.

Thanks guys. We put another layer of Z-8 on it today and used Wolfgang Vinyl & Rubber on the interior dash and rear plastic panels.
