Hello everyone. I did this detail a couple of days ago for a good buddy of mine. I have to thank Mr mgm2003 for his wonderful Zaino contribution. I hate to say it but I am really liking the Z. I have yet to do my car which is the final test lol. Exterior Only.

Wash with CG maxi suds :mad: (dissapointing)
Meguiars Mild Clay , maxi suds lube
HTEC/OP 50/50 via meguiars burgendy cutting pad @1500
Blackfire Finishing Polish via meguiars polishing pad @1200
Z6 wipedown
Z5pro x 1 (zfx'd, z8'd)
Z8 wipedown.

I will let the pics do the rest of the talking. Note the oxidation.

Its your pictures that somehow show MORE than your priors did.. Thats actually the problem I'm having. My pics come out like crap and I have two diff sets of cameras, both costing 400 bucks each. Unfortunately I'm an idiot and couldn;t take a good snap to save my life..

Its lonely in the chatroom all alone...

Holy (expletive..... repeated several times). That's an AMAZING turn around. The paint looked dead and now it's on FIRE!

You've always done great work, but this one might take the top prize!

WOW!!!!!!!

What was the owners reaction?

You are smiling ear to ear -aren't you :)

That's the best looking red paint (before/after) that I've seen this summer on ANY forum. You have dialed in the Makita, and the Zaino looks excellent sitting on top of your spectacular prep work.

Well done Greg -that's really impressive!

My exact comments as well. Beautiful work greg. Has your opinions changed towards Zano.

One thing about Zano once you've seen it, it's very easy to identify its look Unbeleable.Thanks for the sun shots ;)

Can you please offer your opinions,i know at one time you could take it or leave it.

Please don't let this become a Zano war i'm just curios to what Greg has to say..

I will give my full opinion when I do my car. FOr the 2 cars I have done I have been thrilled. The z5pro looks excellent on the 2 vehicles I have applied it to and the z8 just slickens it up. My opinion has changed, yes. I really like it.

Agreed, nice work!
 
Being a black car owner seeing pictures of that wet, liquid, shiney red could change my mind about owning something other than black.

Nice job on the display of pictures and the use of products to get what appears to be just a killer detail. I am glad that you remained open to the possibilities of Zaino products.
 
Nice job Greg..you did that car justice....nice finish....like night and day....


Reds and blacks and some blues finish out the wettest in looks...but then again they also show the marring the most also....but you got that red nice and wet looking..now teach them to maintain it....

My truck is that color red...and if you sneeze near it it will mar...lol....but they do come out nice with proper procedures and you did it with that car..

Nice Job
