Well folks I first started using just the Zaino product line. I have since tried MANY different products. Some products I like, some not so much. What I have found is that every vehicle's paint is different. By using different products and learning how they work you can choose the correct tools to get the job done. In spite of the vendors marketing claims and sales pitch, IMHO one product line can't always do everything for everybody on every kind of paint all the time.
A short story...
Preface
Yesterday we did a BRAND NEW black Camaro. He ordered it and it was shipped direct to the dealership. I told him do NOT let the dealership wash it!!! He called them and even went there Monday before it arrived and made a point of letting them know he did NOT want them to wash the car when it arrives. "It is going straight to the detailer."
Chapter 1
He took delivery 9:30 Tuesday evening and brought it to me after he got off work Thursday evening. By the time he brought it to me it had just turned dark outside. I brought out the Brinkman to look at the paint and it was LOADED with swirls. I mean it was VERY BAD and they were everywhere! They were so bad he asked if I was using some kind "special" magic light to make the scratches appear. When he saw the condition of the paint his heart sunk. Mind you this car was two days old, he just paid over 40k cash and it had less than 50 miles on it.
Chapter 2
Fri am we began to wash. We squirted the car with a hose and the water just laid there.
It was dead. If I was a Doctor I'd say the paint was suffering from severe malnutrition.
Dawn wash, clay, washed again.
We did a test spot with the Megs DA MF cutting disc and D300 compound.
The DA MF cutting disc/M300 quickly removed the swirls but left a slight haze
We followed that with Menz PO106 and it removed the haze and added shine.
Then Zaino AIO to create a base and shine the paint up up a little bit more.
1) coat of Z-5 w/zfx
2) coats of Z-2 w/zfx
Chapter 3
When he came to pick up the car the first thing he saw was the Z-2 shine and the paint sparkled. Then he reached for my Brinkman on the table and went to look again. Now he knows what he's looking for after I showed him the day before. No swirls, just crystal clear shiny paint (less the orange peel). I could see a BIG smile on his face!
Epilogue
Although heavily swirled the Megs DA MF cleaned the GM paint very quick & easy.
It needed additional finer polishing step to bring out clarity after the DA MF/D300.
Not too thrilled with Z-AIO but it's probably good as a single step on a daily driver.
Why did I use Zaino? Brand new car, black paint, he's good peeps, Z-2 is very shiny.
Why not use something like Pinnacle Souveran?
He wouldn't know deep, warm Carnauba if it bit him in the a$$.
The End
Client happy.
Sorry no pics.
Z-2 shiny good.
It was a long day.
) about how infrequently they would "detail" because of the durability of the product. What I just never could understand is that they would refer to themselves as detailing hobbyists and I just never knew anyone who would so actively avoid a hobby they supposedly enjoyed.
