Re: jhkljnhg

I'll have my neighbors SUV for comparison i let him apply a 2nd layer of DG on his own and i'm still waiting for my #105. I did make a few comparisom between the two ...Zainos finish being slicker and much harder .I spritz the hood the 2nd time and the Z8 burst into a bunch of champaign like bubbles and rolled off the hood I had to back the car into the garage and wait for the panel to cool down from the sun..

Car looks great Joe :bigups

I am curious, why rewash after after you polished?

Jay,
so i would have a clean prep surface, i washed the car after using the PO85RD to remove some dusting from some of the panels/crevices i didn't tape off. I used a multi purpose blue painters tape and i was having trouble with the resindue from the glue something i havn't had a problem with in the past..

That is my new fence in the back round and we just stained it something that had to get done due to the weather, for some reason it has rained continous here in chicago with colder then normal temps, becuse of my shoulder it took me 3 weeks to finish up my car where it should have taken a day in a half i'm glad the fence and the car is done :) ..

Yes Joe, you have a very nice looking ride!!! I thought that the last picture on your original post had a real deep look to it. For me I thought that i could almost see the horizon way off in the distance.

I am also glad that you answered the wash question....:confused: For I was wondering the same thing.

I hope that you have good durability and longevity with the product that you used. I will be watching the forum for updated opinions.

Nice looking fence.

Hope that your shoulder keeps getting better.:)

I have pics showing some of the dusting but i didn't want to overwhelm the thread with many pics. I QDed the car after my cut swirl and created some marring on the doors and quater so i used the PO85RD to remove the marring..also i wasnt sure if i need a clean surface for the Z5 ..

I wanted to show the pic of the fence thats 40' fence from end on end sitting in that pic..i was amazed by the depth and wanted to capture it..Thanks for the comments
 
Joe,

Awesome!!

The 'here's one more' flag shot is crystal clear and deep!

Did you layer Z5Pro -or is this a single coat?

The real questions are....

* Are you happy with the results?
* How did you like the application/removal.
* What would you compare it to?
* Any Pro's & Con's to share vs. other products?
 
Joe....

The new pics look great....you did a fine job....

Joe..I am like you..I wash after a polish myself...to get any dusting off...residue....makes for a complete job..

And rest that shoulder...I blew both mine out....had one cut..not a fun thing...finish up your cars and rest..lol...

Oh..I hope the wife is doing better also....forgot to ask you last time we chatted...How she was doing....Better I hope...

Again..your Buick is Smokin

1)Yes i'm vey happy with the results,my Dad was over when i was mixing the Z5Pro/ZFX he looked at me like i was crazy until he came to the garage after i wiped the car down and offered to take my car home and leave his :) ..

2)Application/removal was a breeze the Z8 streaked very little but this was taken care of with another spritz.

3)Last year i used UPP and NB and was happy with that combo ,Zaino seems to be more durable then UPP... the slickness is unbeleivable..

4)As a far as pros and cons i'll need some time to evaluate the product.At first i was a little over whelmed by the Z this Z that at the end it all came together and found it wasn't confusing at all..

[QUOh..I hope the wife is doing better also....forgot to ask you last time we chatted...How she was doing....Better I hope...
